Product details
Overview
RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A from Renesas Electronics is a 200 mW, 9.1 V ±5% (B3 class) planar zener diode in SC-59 (JEITA) 3-pin mini-mold package, optimized for voltage regulation and surge suppression in low-power analog circuits, with 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA and 2 μA reverse leakage at 6.0 V.
For engineers reviewing the RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A datasheet, RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A pinout, RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A application, or RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, terminal roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for stable voltage reference and transient protection design-in.
Technical Context
This zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under varying load or line conditions. Its planar construction ensures consistent VZ tolerance and thermal stability up to 150°C junction temperature.
Designed for low-current biasing and clamping, RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +0.04 %/°C near 9.1 V and supports repetitive surge pulses up to 100 W (10 μs), making it suitable for ESD-sensitive signal paths and precision reference nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.15 V to 9.55 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 9.1 V nominal reference applications. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 30 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under small-signal current variations. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA max at VR = 6.0 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 200 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC or average pulsed power handling capability. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55°C to +150°C - enables operation in industrial ambient environments without derating below 125°C. |
| Peak Reverse Power (PRSM) | 100 W for tT = 10 μs - supports transient overvoltage suppression in short-duration surge events. |
Pinout & Package
RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A is housed in an SC-59 (JEITA) 3-pin mini-mold plastic package with standard lead spacing and marking orientation. Pin 1 is NC (no connection), Pin 2 is Anode (A), and Pin 3 is Cathode (K).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connection (NC) | Electrically isolated; must not be soldered or connected to avoid mechanical stress or unintended coupling. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node when used as clamp or regulator. |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to higher-potential node to enable zener breakdown conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar process construction | Ensures repeatable VZ tolerance and long-term stability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure. |
| E24-standard zener voltage grading | Enables precise selection within 5% tolerance bands for cost-effective matching in multi-rail systems. |
| Low dynamic impedance (30 Ω) | Maintains <±10 mV regulation error under ±0.3 mA load current variation at nominal bias. |
| SC-59 JEITA package | Supports automated placement and reflow soldering with industry-standard footprint and thermal profile. |
| 150°C maximum junction temperature | Permits operation in enclosed enclosures or near heat-generating components without external heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | 10 V nominal, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, 17 Ω ZZ at 25 mA | Higher power handling but larger footprint and looser 5% tolerance at 10 V vs. 9.1 V target | Choose when higher surge energy absorption is required and board space allows DO-41 mounting. |
| BZX55-C9V1 | 9.1 V nominal, 500 mW rating, DO-35 package, 40 Ω ZZ at 5 mA | Same VZ grade but higher ZZ and different thermal resistance due to glass package | Prefer when legacy DO-35 compatibility is mandatory and 40 Ω impedance is acceptable for the circuit. |
Compared with 1N4739A and BZX55-C9V1, RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A offers tighter VZ control at 9.1 V, lower thermal mass for faster transient response, and SC-59 compatibility with modern SMT assembly-making it optimal for space-constrained, low-power precision reference designs.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A at 5 mA test current?
The RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 9.15 V to 9.55 V when measured at IZ = 5 mA and TA = 25°C, per its B3 class rating in the official Renesas datasheet D14716EJ7V0DS. This 4.4% span ensures predictable regulation behavior in precision analog circuits where 9.1 V nominal reference is specified.
Is RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A RoHS compliant?
Yes, RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A complies with the EU RoHS Directive, as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental documentation and material declarations. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits, and is rated for lead-free reflow soldering compatible with JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
Can RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A replace RD9.1M in existing designs?
Yes, RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A is a direct functional and mechanical replacement for RD9.1M, sharing identical electrical specifications, SC-59 package dimensions, and pinout (Pin 1: NC, Pin 2: Anode, Pin 3: Cathode). The "(0)-T1B-A" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging and Renesas' post-merger part numbering convention-no performance or reliability changes are introduced.
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage before breakdown for RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A?
RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A begins controlled zener breakdown at approximately 9.15 V and maintains regulation up to its peak reverse power limit. It must not be subjected to sustained reverse voltages exceeding its VZ range without current limiting; the absolute maximum non-destructive reverse voltage is defined by its 100 W surge rating at 10 μs pulse width-not a DC rating.
Does RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A require a heatsink in 200 mW continuous operation?
No, RD9.1M(0)-T1B-A does not require an external heatsink at 200 mW continuous dissipation when mounted on standard FR-4 PCB with minimum copper area. Its SC-59 package thermal resistance (RθJA) is ~625°C/W, resulting in ~125°C junction rise above 25°C ambient-within its 150°C Tj limit. Derating is recommended above 75°C ambient.
