Product details
Overview
PZU9.1B2A,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 9.1 V nominal working voltage, 320 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power. It delivers low dynamic impedance (60 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA), 10 nA reverse current at IZ = 0.5 mA, and optimized leakage for fast switching in precision reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PZU9.1B2A,115 datasheet, PZU9.1B2A,115 pinout, PZU9.1B2A,115 application, or PZU9.1B2A,115 equivalent, this device serves as a stable, surface-mount voltage reference in low-power analog monitoring, overvoltage clamping, and biasing networks where tight tolerance and low noise are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 9.1 V reference across load and supply variations, with a temperature coefficient of +5.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA and typical junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 55 K/W. Its hard breakdown knee and intentional minor leakage rise support clean transient response in signal conditioning paths.
The SOD323 package enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance under pulsed surge conditions up to 100 µs, with validated non-repetitive peak reverse current of 120 A at Tj = 25 °C prior to surge - enabling robust protection in compact DC-DC feedback loops.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Reference | Overvoltage Clamp in Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in isolated flyback converters via optocoupler-coupled feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides stable 9.1 V reference to TL431-like shunt regulator input, defining primary-side voltage setpoint. Use Value: ±2 % tolerance eliminates need for post-production trimming; low rdif maintains regulation accuracy across line/load transients. |
Use Scenario: Protecting ADC input pins from ESD-induced voltage spikes in industrial 4–20 mA transmitter modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as bidirectional clamp between signal line and ground, limiting voltage to ±9.1 V during surge events. Use Value: 40 W peak power rating absorbs 100 µs surges without degradation; SOD323 size fits near connector entry points. |
| Battery Voltage Monitor Threshold | Low-Power Bias Generator |
Use Scenario: Detecting end-of-charge condition in Li-ion battery packs using comparator-based cutoff logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies fixed 9.1 V reference to comparator non-inverting input, triggering shutdown at 4.2 V/cell × 2.16 = ~9.07 V. Use Value: 10 nA reverse current extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits; ±2 % tolerance ensures consistent trip point across units. |
Use Scenario: Generating stable bias for op-amp input stages in portable medical sensor front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as passive voltage reference in high-impedance divider network feeding op-amp reference pin. Use Value: Hard breakdown knee prevents drift during low-current operation; 60 Ω rdif limits error contribution to <0.06 % of full-scale output. |
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 (100 Ω max) and higher IR (500 nA at 0.5 mA) | Less suitable for ultra-low-power biasing; acceptable for general-purpose clamping where leakage is not critical | Select when cost priority outweighs leakage and impedance requirements |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | SOD-123 package (larger), ±5 % tolerance, 100 Ω rdif, 100 nA IR at 1 mA | Requires more board area; looser tolerance increases calibration burden in precision references | Choose only if legacy SOD-123 footprint compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with BZX384-B9V1,115 and MMSZ5240B-TP, PZU9.1B2A,115 offers superior low-current stability (10 nA IR vs. ≥100 nA) and tighter regulation (±2 % vs. ±5 % or higher rdif), making it optimal for battery-sensitive and high-accuracy analog subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for PZU9.1B2A,115 at 25 °C ambient?
The device has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; instead, its DC operation is limited by total power dissipation of 320 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. At 9.1 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum steady-state reverse current of approximately 35 mA before thermal derating applies.
Does PZU9.1B2A,115 require a heatsink in standard FR4 PCB mounting?
No heatsink is required. With Rth(j-a) = 255 K/W on standard FR4 (single-sided copper, tin-plated), the junction-to-ambient temperature rise at 320 mW is ~82 K - well within the 150 °C max junction rating when ambient stays below 68 °C. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient per the datasheet curve.
How does the B2 tolerance series differ from B1 or B3 in the PZUxBA family?
B2 denotes ±2 % tolerance at 25 °C, positioned between B1 (tighter ±2 % with tighter binning) and B3 (±2 % with extended temperature stability). For PZU9.1B2A,115, B2 guarantees 8.92–9.28 V at IZ = 5 mA and Tj = 25 °C, with SZ = +5.5 mV/K ensuring predictable drift over temperature.
Can PZU9.1B2A,115 be used in place of a 9.1 V Zener with ±5 % tolerance?
Yes - it is pin- and form-factor compatible with ±5 % variants (e.g., PZU9.1BA), but provides tighter regulation (±2 % vs. ±5 %), lower dynamic impedance (60 Ω vs. up to 100 Ω), and lower leakage (10 nA vs. typically 100–500 nA), directly improving accuracy and power efficiency without layout change.
