Product details
Overview
BZT585B15T-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 15 V breakdown voltage (14.7–15.3 V), ±2.0% tolerance, 350 mW power dissipation, and SOD523 package. It regulates voltage in low-power analog references, overvoltage protection circuits, and sensor biasing where stable 15 V clamping is required.
For engineers reviewing the BZT585B15T-7 datasheet, BZT585B15T-7 pinout, BZT585B15T-7 application, or BZT585B15T-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at 5 mA, temperature coefficient, reverse leakage at 10.5 V, and thermal resistance in SOD523 layout.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in silicon. Its 15 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with typical Zener impedance of 15 Ω at IZT and 200 Ω at knee current (IZK = 1 mA).
The diode exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +13.2 mV/°C, indicating increasing breakdown voltage with rising junction temperature. It is rated for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C and features a cathode band marking for polarity identification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.0 V nominal, 14.7–15.3 V range at IZT = 5 mA - ensures tight regulation in reference circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - low dynamic resistance minimizes output voltage variation under load changes |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW at TA = 25 °C - defines maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR-4 PCB |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +13.2 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA - quantifies drift rate; requires thermal design margin for high-accuracy applications |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 10.5 V - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life and signal integrity in high-impedance nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357 °C/W - determines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt; guides PCB copper area requirements |
| Capacitance (CT) | 100 pF max at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - limits high-frequency noise coupling in RF-adjacent circuits |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5245B-7-F | 15 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 225 mW PD, SOT-23 package | Larger footprint, higher leakage (1 µA @ 12 V), less stable TC | Select when cost is primary and tighter voltage tolerance is not required |
| BZX84-C15-7-F | 15 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW PD, SOT-23 package | Higher ZZT (30 Ω), no AEC-Q101 qualification, wider VZ spread | Choose for non-automotive consumer applications with relaxed accuracy needs |
Compared with MMBZ5245B-7-F and BZX84-C15-7-F, BZT585B15T-7 delivers superior voltage accuracy (±2.0% vs. ±5%), higher power rating (350 mW), and automotive-grade reliability-justifying its use where regulation stability and long-term field performance are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT585B15T-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 14.7 V and 15.3 V at 5 mA test current. It is not rated for sustained reverse voltage above 15.3 V; operation beyond this risks uncontrolled conduction or thermal runaway unless current-limited.
Does this Zener diode require a series resistor in all applications?
Yes - a current-limiting resistor is mandatory to prevent thermal destruction. At 350 mW max dissipation and 15 V Zener voltage, the absolute maximum average current is 23.3 mA. The resistor must be sized to ensure IZ remains within 1–20 mA for optimal impedance and stability, especially under worst-case input voltage and temperature conditions.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - the SOD523 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with moisture sensitivity level 1. It supports peak temperatures up to 260 °C and is compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (e.g., IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D), provided recommended pad layout (AP02001) and thermal relief are followed.
How does the +13.2 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit accuracy?
This positive TC means the Zener voltage increases by ~13.2 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. Over a 100 °C range (–40 °C to +60 °C ambient), that introduces ~1.32 V drift - requiring derating, thermal isolation, or compensation in precision references. For non-critical clamping, it's typically acceptable.
