Product details
Overview
BZT585B16T-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 16 V Zener diode in SOD523 package, ±2.0% voltage tolerance at 5 mA test current, 350 mW power dissipation, and 40 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz. It serves as a stable voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT585B16T-7 datasheet, BZT585B16T-7 pinout, BZT585B16T-7 application, or BZT585B16T-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (15.68–16.32 V), thermal coefficient (+14.4 mV/°C), reverse leakage (≤0.05 µA at 11.2 V), and SOD523 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener voltage across temperature and current variations. Its ±2.0% tolerance and +14.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient enable predictable regulation in ambient ranges from –65°C to +150°C.
The SOD523 package supports high power density via low thermal resistance (357 °C/W) on FR-4 PCBs using Diodes Inc.'s recommended pad layout. Cathode band marking and matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads ensure reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16.0 V nominal, 15.68–16.32 V range at IZT = 5 mA - ensures tight reference stability for calibration circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 40 Ω at 1 kHz - limits output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW - supports continuous operation in compact consumer and industrial modules without heatsinking |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 11.2 V - minimizes quiescent current in battery-powered voltage monitors |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +14.4 mV/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references |
| Capacitance (CT) | 90 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - suitable for DC and low-frequency (<100 kHz) regulation, not RF bypass |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - allows use as low-drop rectifier in auxiliary bias paths |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD523 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic case (1.6 × 0.8 × 0.6 mm), cathode band marked on top surface, matte tin-plated terminals on Alloy 42 leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in Zener mode | Must be held ≤11.2 V to avoid excessive reverse leakage; ties to ground or signal return in clamp configurations |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; higher-potential node in Zener regulation | Connected to regulated rail or protected input; cathode band identifies this terminal visually and in layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including body control modules and sensor interfaces |
| SOD523 footprint | Enables placement in <1.0 mm² board area-critical for wearables and miniaturized IoT nodes |
| Lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and global environmental compliance mandates |
| 357 °C/W thermal resistance | Permits full 350 mW dissipation on standard FR-4 without thermal vias or copper pours |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5245BS-7-F | 16 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 200 mW PD, SOT-323 package (2.2 × 1.35 × 0.95 mm) | Larger footprint, lower power rating, wider voltage spread - less suitable for space-constrained precision references | Select when cost priority outweighs size and tolerance; verify thermal derating on dense boards |
| BZX84-C16 | 16 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW PD, SOT-23 package (3.0 × 1.4 × 1.1 mm) | Three times larger area, no AEC-Q101 qualification, higher ZZT (50 Ω) - unsuitable for automotive or miniaturized designs | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial prototypes where board space and long-term stability are secondary |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage that can be continuously applied without exceeding leakage specifications?
The datasheet specifies maximum reverse current (IR) ≤ 0.05 µA at VR = 11.2 V. Applying voltages beyond this level increases leakage exponentially; sustained operation above 11.2 V risks violating the 0.05 µA spec and may accelerate long-term parameter drift. For clamping, operate only in controlled breakdown above 15.68 V with current limiting.
Does the +14.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient indicate positive or negative drift relative to nominal voltage?
Yes, the +14.4 mV/°C coefficient means Zener voltage increases by 14.4 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. At +85°C (60°C above 25°C reference), VZ rises by ~0.86 V - from 16.0 V to ~16.86 V - a predictable, linear shift used in temperature-compensated reference designs.
Can BZT585B16T-7 be used in place of a 15 V Zener like BZT585B15T?
No - BZT585B15T has 15.0 V nominal (14.70–15.30 V range) and +13.2 mV/°C TC, while BZT585B16T-7 is strictly 16.0 V (15.68–16.32 V). Substitution alters reference level by >6%, exceeding typical system tolerance. Use only when circuit design explicitly targets 16 V regulation or clamping.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes - the device is rated for moisture sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020 and qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C. Its matte tin finish and Alloy 42 leadframe meet IPC-A-610 Class 2 requirements. No pre-bake is required; standard Pb-free reflow (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020 profile) applies directly.
