Product details
Overview
TLZ9V1C-GS18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a precision small-signal Zener diode in MiniMELF (SOD-80) package, designed for voltage stabilization and reference applications. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with ±3% tolerance (8.83–9.30 V), 500 mW power dissipation, and ultra-low reverse leakage current of 0.04 μA at VR = 7.5 V. Its dynamic resistance of 8 Ω at 20 mA enables stable regulation in low-noise analog references and power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the TLZ9V1C-GS18 datasheet, TLZ9V1C-GS18 pinout, TLZ9V1C-GS18 application, or TLZ9V1C-GS18 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low IR at sub-10 V operation, thermal stability across -65 °C to +175 °C, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 8 mm tape reels.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with sharp reverse breakdown characteristic and high long-term stability. Its junction temperature rating of 175 °C and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity support robust performance in industrial and automotive environments without baking requirements.
The TLZ9V1C-GS18 exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +6 × 10⁻⁴/K near 9.1 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in precision circuits. Its 31 mg MiniMELF package provides superior thermal resistance (RthJA = 500 K/W on standard PCB) compared to SOD-123 alternatives, supporting reliable 500 mW dissipation at ambient temperatures up to 125 °C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C9V1 | SOT-23 package; 5% VZ tolerance (8.65–9.55 V); higher ZZ = 15 Ω; 300 mW Ptot | Lower power handling and looser tolerance limit use in non-critical biasing only | Select when board space is constrained and 5% accuracy suffices; not suitable for precision feedback |
| MMSZ5240B | SOD-123 package; 5% VZ tolerance (8.65–9.55 V); ZZ = 17 Ω; 500 mW Ptot; MSL Level 1 | Higher dynamic resistance increases regulation error under varying load current | Acceptable for general-purpose clamping but inferior for low-drift reference designs requiring < 10 Ω ZZ |
Compared with TLZ9V1C-GS18, BZX84-C9V1 trades precision and power for footprint reduction, while MMSZ5240B matches power rating but sacrifices dynamic impedance and voltage accuracy-making TLZ9V1C-GS18 the optimal choice for applications demanding ≤3% VZ tolerance and ≤8 Ω ZZ.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of TLZ9V1C-GS18?
The TLZ9V1C-GS18 has a specified Zener voltage range of 8.83 V to 9.30 V at 20 mA test current, corresponding to a ±3% tolerance around the nominal 9.1 V rating. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Vishay TLZ-Series datasheet (Doc. #85635, Rev. 2.6) and enables high-accuracy voltage referencing without post-production trimming. The TLZ9V1C-GS18 achieves this via process-controlled doping and laser trimming during manufacture.
Does TLZ9V1C-GS18 require moisture preconditioning before reflow soldering?
No, TLZ9V1C-GS18 is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and may be placed directly into reflow without baking or dry-packaging. This is due to its hermetically sealed MiniMELF (SOD-80) glass package, which prevents moisture ingress. The TLZ9V1C-GS18 can withstand peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C without popcorn failure or parametric shift.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for TLZ9V1C-GS18 at 7.5 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for TLZ9V1C-GS18 is 0.04 μA at VR = 7.5 V and TA = 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the Vishay datasheet. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths-critical for precision analog circuits where TLZ9V1C-GS18 serves as a stable bias source.
Can TLZ9V1C-GS18 replace TLZ9V1B-GS18 in an existing design?
Yes, TLZ9V1C-GS18 is a direct functional upgrade to TLZ9V1B-GS18, offering identical MiniMELF packaging and electrical compatibility, with tighter Zener voltage bounds (8.83–9.30 V vs. 8.57–9.01 V). No PCB or schematic changes are needed. The TLZ9V1C-GS18 improves system accuracy by reducing worst-case VZ error by ±0.23 V, making it suitable for next-generation revisions requiring enhanced regulation stability.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for TLZ9V1C-GS18 on a standard PCB?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) for TLZ9V1C-GS18 is 500 K/W when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB measuring 50 mm × 50 mm × 1.6 mm, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the Vishay datasheet. This value allows calculation of junction temperature rise: ΔTj = Pdiss × 500 K/W. At full 500 mW dissipation, TLZ9V1C-GS18 reaches Tj = 250 °C above ambient-hence derating is required to stay within the 175 °C absolute maximum.
