Product details
Overview
BZT585B6V8TQ from Diodes Incorporated is a precision Zener diode with 6.8 V nominal breakdown voltage (±2.0% tolerance), 350 mW power dissipation, and SOD523 package. It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C, features 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current, and delivers stable voltage reference in low-power analog circuits and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the BZT585B6V8TQ datasheet, BZT585B6V8TQ pinout, BZT585B6V8TQ application, or BZT585B6V8TQ equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal stability (TC = +3.0 mV/°C), low capacitance (215 pF @ 1 MHz), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOD523 footprint compatibility for space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses silicon planar construction with tight voltage regulation for precision biasing and voltage clamping. Its ±2.0% VZ tolerance and +3.0 mV/°C temperature coefficient enable predictable performance across industrial and automotive temperature ranges.
Designed for surface-mount operation on FR-4 PCBs with minimum pad layout, it achieves 357 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and supports continuous forward current up to 200 mA - enabling use in both reverse-biased regulation and forward-biased protection roles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5235B-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Same 6.8 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm); higher ZZT = 10 Ω @ 20 mA. | Larger footprint; suited for non-automotive, cost-sensitive consumer designs where board space is less constrained. | Select when AEC-Q101 qualification is not required and thermal derating margin exceeds 350 mW. |
| BZX84-C6V8 (Nexperia) | 6.8 V ±5%, SOT-23 package; 100 mW PD, ZZT = 40 Ω @ 5 mA; no AEC-Q101 certification. | Lower power handling and wider VZ spread limit use to non-critical biasing in commercial-grade equipment. | Choose only for prototyping or legacy designs where SOT-23 placement infrastructure already exists. |
Compared with MMSZ5235B-7-F and BZX84-C6V8, BZT585B6V8TQ offers tighter tolerance, higher power rating, smaller footprint, and automotive qualification - making it optimal for safety-relevant, space-limited, and thermally demanding applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can sustain before breakdown?
The BZT585B6V8TQ has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a guaranteed range of 6.66 V to 6.94 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this range under reverse bias; operation above 6.94 V risks exceeding specified Zener impedance and thermal limits. Absolute maximum reverse voltage is not defined beyond the rated VZ range - sustained operation outside 6.66–6.94 V requires current limiting to stay within 350 mW power dissipation.
Is this device suitable for use in a 12 V automotive system with load dump transients?
Yes - the BZT585B6V8TQ is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C. While its 6.8 V Zener voltage is below typical 12 V rail levels, it is commonly used in conjunction with series resistors or as part of a clamping network to protect downstream 5 V or 3.3 V regulators from transients. Its 200 mA forward current rating also supports robust ESD and surge handling in combination with TVS devices.
How does the +3.0 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit accuracy over temperature?
At +3.0 mV/°C, the Zener voltage increases by approximately 0.45 V over a 150 °C span (–65 °C to +85 °C). For a 6.8 V nominal device, this represents ~6.6% full-scale drift. In precision applications, this is mitigated by using the diode in constant-current mode with temperature-compensated bias or pairing it with complementary TC components. The datasheet specifies TC at IZT = 5 mA and TJ = 25 °C.
Can this Zener be used in forward conduction mode like a standard diode?
Yes - the BZT585B6V8TQ exhibits typical silicon diode forward characteristics: 0.9 V @ 10 mA and 1.1 V @ 100 mA. Its 200 mA continuous forward current rating and low forward voltage make it suitable for ESD protection, polarity protection, or low-voltage rectification in low-power circuits, provided power dissipation remains within 350 mW limits under combined forward and reverse stress conditions.
