Product details
Overview
TZX9V1D-TAP from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications, featuring a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V at 5 mA test current, dynamic resistance of 8.65 Ω, reverse leakage current ≤ 0.04 μA at 6.8 V, power dissipation rating of 500 mW, and DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package. It serves as a stable voltage reference in low-power analog circuits, sensor biasing, and overvoltage protection clamping.
For engineers reviewing the TZX9V1D-TAP datasheet, TZX9V1D-TAP pinout, TZX9V1D-TAP application, or TZX9V1D-TAP equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, packaging details, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all specific to the TZX9V1D-TAP variant within the TZX-Series family.
Technical Context
The TZX9V1D-TAP operates as a single-element, silicon planar Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown characteristics and low noise performance. Its Zener voltage is specified between 9.1 V (min) and 9.5 V (max) at IZT = 5 mA, with temperature coefficient optimized near zero crossing for mid-voltage Zeners (~9 V range).
Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 300 K/W at lead length l = 4 mm, enabling stable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature. The device exhibits very high long-term stability and low reverse leakage (≤ 0.04 μA at VR = 6.8 V), supporting precision reference designs requiring minimal drift and low quiescent current.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C9V1 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 9.1 V nominal Zener voltage, but higher dynamic resistance (10 Ω vs. 8.65 Ω); DO-35 package; 500 mW rating | Slightly higher output impedance may affect regulation in high-dynamic-load scenarios | Acceptable where tighter dynamic resistance is not critical; verify long-term stability spec matches system requirements |
| 1N4739A (ON Semiconductor) | 9.1 V nominal, 1 W power rating, DO-41 package; higher thermal mass but larger footprint and different lead pitch | Not drop-in due to DO-41 vs. DO-35 mechanical mismatch; requires PCB redesign | Choose only if higher power margin (>500 mW) is required and board layout allows DO-41 footprint |
Compared with BZX55C9V1 and 1N4739A, the TZX9V1D-TAP offers superior dynamic resistance (8.65 Ω) and lower leakage (≤ 0.04 μA), making it preferred for low-noise, low-power reference designs where DO-35 form factor and long-term stability are essential.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of TZX9V1D-TAP?
The TZX9V1D-TAP has a Zener voltage range of 9.1 V (minimum) to 9.5 V (maximum) at test current IZT = 5 mA. This ±0.2 V tolerance reflects the D-grade binning within the TZX-Series and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Vishay document 85614 Rev. 2.7. The TZX9V1D-TAP is not a 1% or 5% tolerance part - its specification is defined strictly by this min/max band.
Is TZX9V1D-TAP suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, the TZX9V1D-TAP uses a DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial glass package with radial leads, designed for through-hole mounting only. It is not compatible with reflow or wave soldering processes intended for SMD components. For SMT alternatives, consider Vishay's PLZ series or ON Semiconductor's MMBZ52xx series - but those require redesign due to different footprints and electrical characteristics.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for TZX9V1D-TAP at 25 °C?
The maximum reverse leakage current for TZX9V1D-TAP is 0.04 μA at VR = 6.8 V and Tamb = 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3, document 85614). This value is measured under pulsed conditions and confirms the device's suitability for ultra-low-power bias networks where leakage must remain below 100 nA.
Does TZX9V1D-TAP have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes - Figure 4 in the TZX-Series datasheet (document 85614) shows the typical temperature coefficient (TKVZ) of VZ versus Z-voltage. For the 9.1 V grade (TZX9V1x), TKVZ is approximately +6 × 10−4/K (or +0.006 %/°C) near 25 °C, indicating a positive, linear drift. This value is derived from the curve intersection and applies directly to the TZX9V1D-TAP variant.
Can TZX9V1D-TAP be used in place of TZX9V1C?
Yes - TZX9V1D-TAP and TZX9V1C share identical DO-35 packaging, absolute maximum ratings, and thermal specifications, differing only in Zener voltage binning: TZX9V1C is 8.9–9.3 V, while TZX9V1D-TAP is 9.1–9.5 V. Substitution is electrically valid if the application tolerates the higher nominal voltage and wider upper bound; no PCB or schematic change is needed.
