Product details
Overview
PZU84-B9V1-QR from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT23 package, rated for 9.1 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 5 mA, with differential resistance of 60 Ω, reverse leakage ≤0.5 μA at VR = 6 V, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive power rail stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the PZU84-B9V1-QR datasheet, PZU84-B9V1-QR pinout, PZU84-B9V1-QR application, or PZU84-B9V1-QR equivalent, this part supports precision voltage reference, overvoltage clamping, and ECU supply rail regulation where low dynamic impedance and hard breakdown knee are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a sharp, hard knee characteristic optimized for stable reference generation at low currents (IZ = 0.5–5 mA). Its 60 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients.
Designed per AEC-Q101, it delivers junction temperature operation up to 150 °C and features intentional low leakage (≤0.5 μA at VR = 6 V) and low capacitance (120 pF at f = 1 MHz), enabling use in noise-sensitive analog and automotive control circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C9V1 | ±5 % tolerance, 100 Ω rdif at 5 mA, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial-grade consumer devices; unsuitable for automotive under-hood use | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where ±5 % VZ and higher impedance are acceptable |
| MMSZ5240B | ±5 % tolerance, 17 Ω rdif, 100 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package | Lower power rating and different footprint require PCB redesign; lacks automotive qualification | Choose when ultra-low impedance is critical and board space allows SOD-123 layout; verify thermal margin at 250 mW |
Compared with BZX84-C9V1 and MMSZ5240B, PZU84-B9V1-QR uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, ±2 % tolerance, 60 Ω impedance, and 250 mW dissipation in SOT23-making it the only drop-in solution for automotive 9.1 V reference and clamping where reliability and precision are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for PZU84-B9V1-QR?
The nominal Zener voltage is 9.1 V at IZ = 5 mA, with guaranteed minimum 8.56 V and maximum 9.55 V across the ±2 % tolerance band. Breakdown occurs sharply above 8.56 V in reverse bias; operation below this voltage yields only leakage current ≤0.5 μA at 6 V.
Can PZU84-B9V1-QR be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No-Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficient mismatch; paralleling causes current hogging and thermal runaway. For >250 mW needs, use external series resistors or active regulation. The device's 250 mW rating assumes standard FR4 PCB mounting with single-sided 70 μm copper.
Is Pin 2 truly unused, or does it serve a thermal or shielding function?
Pin 2 is internally not connected (n.c.) per Nexperia's official pinning diagram and package outline. It has no electrical or thermal function and must remain unconnected on the PCB-no routing, stitching, or grounding is permitted or beneficial.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over automotive temperature range?
At 9.1 V nominal, the temperature coefficient is +3.8 mV/K (typical). Over −40 °C to +125 °C (165 K span), this introduces ~627 mV drift-mitigated by using the diode in constant-current bias (e.g., with 10 kΩ series resistor) to limit self-heating and stabilize operating point.
