Product details
Overview
RD9.1JS-T1-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a 400 mW DO-34 glass-sealed Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 9.1 V (±5% tolerance), dynamic impedance ≤15 Ω at 5 mA, reverse current ≤0.5 µA at 6.0 V, and maximum junction temperature of 175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference or waveform clipper in low-noise analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD9.1JS-T1-AZ datasheet, RD9.1JS-T1-AZ pinout, RD9.1JS-T1-AZ application, or RD9.1JS-T1-AZ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, package dimensions, and real-world use cases for stable voltage regulation in industrial and consumer electronics.
Technical Context
The RD9.1JS-T1-AZ operates in reverse breakdown mode with sharp knee characteristics and low noise-critical for reference stability in power supply feedback loops and sensor biasing. Its DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction enables 400 mW continuous dissipation at 25 °C ambient, derating linearly to zero at 175 °C junction temperature.
It exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient (+0.05 %/°C typical at 9.1 V), low dynamic impedance (Zz ≤15 Ω), and knee impedance (Zzk ≤100 Ω), supporting accurate regulation under varying load and temperature conditions without external compensation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | 9.1 V nominal, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, Zz ≈ 10 Ω at 20 mA | Higher power handling but larger footprint; requires layout change | Choose when >400 mW continuous dissipation is needed and board space permits DO-41. |
| BZX55-C9V1 | 9.1 V nominal, 500 mW rating, DO-35 package, Zz ≈ 15 Ω at 5 mA, RoHS-compliant | Same electrical performance, smaller DO-35 body (1.8 mm), different marking and thermal profile | Choose for RoHS compliance and tighter board spacing where DO-34 mechanical fit is not mandatory. |
Compared with RD9.1JS-T1-AZ, the 1N4739A offers higher power margin but demands PCB redesign, while the BZX55-C9V1 matches key electricals in a smaller, RoHS-compliant package-making it ideal for new designs prioritizing environmental compliance and miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for RD9.1JS-T1-AZ?
The RD9.1JS-T1-AZ has a nominal zener voltage of 9.1 V with a guaranteed range of 8.56 V to 9.55 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to ±5% tolerance per E24 standard grading. This tolerance is confirmed in the official Renesas datasheet D13937EJ5V0DS00, Table on page 2, for suffix AB1/AB2/AB3 variants under the RD9.1JS designation.
Does RD9.1JS-T1-AZ support surface-mount assembly?
No, RD9.1JS-T1-AZ uses a DO-34 axial glass package with leaded terminations and is intended for through-hole mounting only. It lacks SMD-compatible geometry or tape-and-reel packaging-Renesas does not list any SMT variant of RD9.1JS-T1-AZ in its documentation or product family roadmap.
What is the maximum allowable reverse surge power for RD9.1JS-T1-AZ?
The RD9.1JS-T1-AZ supports a non-repetitive surge reverse power of 2.4 W for pulse width t = 10 µs, as specified in Figure 9 of the Renesas datasheet D13937EJ5V0DS00. This rating applies only to single-event transients; repetitive surges require derating based on thermal time constants shown in Figure 10.
Is RD9.1JS-T1-AZ RoHS compliant?
Yes, RD9.1JS-T1-AZ is RoHS compliant. Renesas confirms environmental compliance for the RDx.JS series in its corporate environmental statements and product change notices, aligning with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The "-T1-AZ" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free termination per J-STD-609.
How does the temperature coefficient affect RD9.1JS-T1-AZ in precision applications?
The RD9.1JS-T1-AZ exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient of approximately +0.05 %/°C (or +4.6 mV/°C) near 9.1 V, as shown in Figure 6 of the datasheet. In precision applications, this means Vz increases ~0.46 V over a 100 °C rise-designers must compensate via circuit topology (e.g., complementary diode pairing) or select tighter-tolerance units if drift <±20 mV is required.
