Product details
Overview
PZU9.1B1A,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 9.1 V nominal working voltage at 5 mA, with 60 Ω maximum differential resistance, 10 nA reverse current at 0.5 mA, and 5.5 A non-repetitive peak reverse current. It delivers stable voltage reference in low-power analog monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PZU9.1B1A,115 datasheet, PZU9.1B1A,115 pinout, PZU9.1B1A,115 application, or PZU9.1B1A,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include tight voltage tolerance, low dynamic impedance at regulation current, thermal resistance to solder point (255 K/W), and compatibility with standard FR4 PCB reflow footprints.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain precise DC voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its hard breakdown knee and intentional minor leakage rise support fast transient response and reduced noise in feedback paths.
Designed for surface-mounted use on single-sided tin-plated FR4 boards, it sustains 320 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient and withstands 40 W non-repetitive surge pulses (100 µs square wave) without degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 9.1 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines primary regulation point in feedback networks |
| Voltage Tolerance | ±2 % (B1 series) - ensures tight output stability across production batches |
| Differential Resistance | ≤60 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - minimizes output voltage shift under load variation |
| Reverse Current | ≤10 nA at VR = 7.5 V - enables ultra-low standby power in battery-backed circuits |
| Non-repetitive Peak Current | 5.5 A at tp = 100 µs - provides robust ESD/transient immunity without external clamping |
| Total Power Dissipation | 320 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC bias capability on standard PCB |
| Thermal Resistance j-sp | 255 K/W - determines junction-to-solder-point temperature rise during steady-state operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B9V1,115 | Same SOD323 package, ±2 % tolerance, but higher rdif (80 Ω) and higher IR (50 nA) | Less suitable for low-noise sensor biasing due to elevated leakage | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs noise or impedance requirements |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | SOD-123 package, ±5 % tolerance, 150 Ω rdif, 100 nA IR at 7.6 V | Larger footprint and looser tolerance limit use in precision references | Select only if board layout requires SOD-123 compatibility and ±5 % is acceptable |
Compared with PZU9.1B1A,115, BZX384-B9V1,115 trades lower impedance and leakage for marginally lower unit cost, while MMSZ5240B-TP sacrifices both precision and package size for broader distributor availability-making PZU9.1B1A,115 optimal for compact, low-noise, ±2 % regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for PZU9.1B1A,115 on a standard FR4 PCB?
The total power dissipation is rated at 320 mW when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, tin-plated finish, and standard footprint per datasheet condition [3]. This value drops with rising ambient temperature and is limited by junction temperature not exceeding 150 °C.
How does the B1 tolerance designation affect voltage accuracy at 5 mA test current?
The B1 series guarantees a nominal 9.1 V Zener voltage within ±2 % (8.92 V to 9.28 V) when measured at IZ = 5 mA and Tj = 25 °C. This tighter tolerance than standard B-series (±5 %) improves system-level accuracy in feedback and reference applications.
Can PZU9.1B1A,115 be used in place of a 9 V Zener for microcontroller reset circuitry?
Yes-it provides a stable 9.1 V threshold ideal for supervisory ICs requiring precise brown-out detection. Its low dynamic impedance ensures minimal voltage droop during reset assertion, and its SOD323 footprint fits compact MCU carrier boards.
Is the cathode terminal marked on the physical device, and how is it identified?
Yes-the cathode is unambiguously marked by a visible bar on the top surface of the SOD323 package. Pin 1 (cathode) aligns with this marking, and the simplified outline in the datasheet confirms orientation relative to the bar.
