Product details
Overview
PZU9.1BL from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in SOD882 package designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained PCBs, with nominal Zener voltage 9.1 V, ±5 % tolerance, 6 Ω maximum differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, 5.5 μA maximum reverse current at VR = 7.3 V, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the PZU9.1BL datasheet, PZU9.1BL pinout, PZU9.1BL application, or PZU9.1BL equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, SOD882 footprint compatibility, and automotive-grade reliability context essential for power rail stabilization, ESD clamp design, and reference voltage generation in embedded control modules.
Technical Context
The PZU9.1BL operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device where reverse-biased breakdown provides stable clamping at 9.1 V under regulated current conditions. Its junction temperature range spans −55 °C to +150 °C, and it sustains non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation up to 40 W for 100 μs pulses.
Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 55 K/W, enabling effective heat transfer through the cathode pad in FR4 PCB layouts. The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +5.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, supporting predictable drift behavior in temperature-varying environments.

| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤5.5 μA at VR = 7.3 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 120 A at tp = 100 μs - supports transient surge suppression without device failure |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW on standard FR4 PCB - defines continuous DC power handling limit at Tamb ≤ 25 °C |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C9V1 | Same 9.1 V nominal, ±5 %, but in SOT23 package (larger footprint, higher Rth(j-a)) | Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; requires larger PCB area and offers lower surge robustness (IZSM = 40 A) | Select when legacy SOT23 assembly infrastructure exists and thermal constraints are less stringent |
| MMSZ5240B | 9.1 V nominal, ±5 %, in SOD-123 package; higher Ptot (500 mW) but no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not qualified for automotive use; better for industrial power supplies needing higher continuous dissipation | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where 500 mW headroom justifies larger 2.7 mm × 1.6 mm footprint |
Compared with BZX84-C9V1 and MMSZ5240B, the PZU9.1BL uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD882 miniaturization, and 120 A surge capability-making it the only option among the three qualified for automotive under-hood voltage regulation with sub-1 mm² board area.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for PZU9.1BL?
The PZU9.1BL has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with ±5 % tolerance (B grade), meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 8.65 V and 9.56 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Tj = 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in Table 8 of the Nexperia datasheet and applies specifically to the PZU9.1BL variant-not the B2-series variants which offer tighter ±2 % tolerance.
Does PZU9.1BL support automotive applications?
Yes, the PZU9.1BL is AEC-Q101 qualified per Section 8 of the Nexperia datasheet, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and infotainment power supplies. Its −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and 120 A non-repetitive peak reverse current rating align with ISO 16750-2 environmental and ISO 7637-2 surge requirements.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point for PZU9.1BL?
The PZU9.1BL has a thermal resistance from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp)) of 55 K/W, as specified in Table 6 of the Nexperia datasheet. This value assumes soldering to an FR4 PCB with tin-plated copper, and reflects heat transfer efficiency primarily through the cathode terminal-critical for maintaining safe junction temperatures at 250 mW continuous dissipation.
How does the temperature coefficient of PZU9.1BL affect regulation stability?
The PZU9.1BL exhibits a temperature coefficient (SZ) of +5.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet. This positive coefficient means its Zener voltage increases by approximately 5.5 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature-enabling predictable, linear drift that can be compensated in precision reference designs without requiring complex calibration.
What is the maximum reverse current for PZU9.1BL at 7.3 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) for PZU9.1BL at VR = 7.3 V is 5.5 μA, as specified in Table 8 of the Nexperia datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent power draw in high-impedance bias networks and preserves accuracy in precision voltage reference circuits where even nanoamp-level currents impact performance.
