Product details
Overview
BZT585B16TQ from Diodes Incorporated is a precision Zener diode with 16 V nominal breakdown voltage (±2.0% tolerance), 350 mW power dissipation, and SOD523 surface-mount package. It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C, features 40 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current, and delivers stable voltage reference in automotive-grade power regulation and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT585B16TQ datasheet, BZT585B16TQ pinout, BZT585B16TQ application, or BZT585B16TQ equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal stability (14.4 mV/°C tempco), low leakage (<0.05 µA @ 11.2 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive electronics design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses silicon planar epitaxial construction to achieve tight 2.0% VZ tolerance and low temperature coefficient (14.4 mV/°C) at 5 mA. Its SOD523 package enables high power density (350 mW) with minimal footprint and low thermal resistance (357 °C/W).
The device exhibits 90 pF capacitance at 0 V reverse bias and maintains <0.05 µA reverse leakage up to 11.2 V, supporting stable reference generation in low-noise analog and automotive control subsystems where voltage stability under thermal stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT585B16TQ has a nominal Zener voltage of 16.0 V with a guaranteed range of 15.68 V to 16.32 V at 5 mA test current. Its specified maximum reverse voltage before breakdown is defined by this VZ range; operation above 16.32 V under rated current will exceed specification limits and may cause thermal instability.
Is this part suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes - the BZT585B16TQ is AEC-Q101 qualified, manufactured in IATF16949:2016 certified facilities, PPAP capable, and explicitly rated for automotive applications requiring controlled change management and high-reliability performance across –65 °C to +150 °C.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance?
The SOD523 package delivers 357 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted on FR-4 with minimum recommended pad layout. This allows full 350 mW power dissipation at +25 °C ambient, derating linearly to ~200 mW at +85 °C ambient - critical for dense automotive PCB layouts.
What is the significance of the "TQ" suffix in the part number?
The "TQ" suffix denotes Diodes Incorporated's tape-and-reel packaging standard for SOD523 devices, indicating compliance with EIA-481-D carrier tape specifications and compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment used in automotive electronics manufacturing.
