WZ-096 zener diode

[smokinone]

I have a radio with a WZ-096 zener diode in it. I can't seem to find anything on it. I believe it is a 9.6V zener, a watt maybe. I haven't been able to get any closer than a 9.1 1/2W through hole.
Is there anyone who knows where to get one, or what would replace it other than a SMD?
Thanks.

WZ-096 is a 500mW, 9.6V Zener diode

Evaluate if you can get away with 10 or 9.1, otherwise put some in series (7.5+2.1, or 5.6 + 3.9 or whatever close you have available).

BTW myself I found myself lured assuming a zener was short circuit pulling a transistor voltage down, but a trimming resistor part of the circuit had its wiper open circuit....

Great, thanks. I found this at Mouser, TZX9V1E-TR. It's 9.5V if I'm reading the datasheet correctly. .that should get me where I want .
Thanks again.

Cool, those sub-ranges A to E cover everything. I have to look for this type next time I buy zeners
