Product details
Overview
BZT585B6V8TQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and reference in space-constrained automotive and industrial circuits. It delivers 6.8 V nominal Zener voltage (±2.0% tolerance), 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current, 350 mW power dissipation, and operates across –65°C to +150°C ambient temperature - deployed in ECU power rail clamping and sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the BZT585B6V8TQ-7 datasheet, BZT585B6V8TQ-7 pinout, BZT585B6V8TQ-7 application, or BZT585B6V8TQ-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low thermal resistance (357 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD523 package compatibility, and reverse leakage performance at 4 V (≤2 µA).
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its ±2.0% voltage tolerance, 3.0 mV/°C positive temperature coefficient at 5 mA, and 215 pF junction capacitance support stable DC reference generation under varying thermal conditions.
The SOD523 package enables high power density with 350 mW dissipation on FR-4 PCBs using minimum pad layout. Cathode band marking and matte tin–annealed Alloy 42 leads ensure reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5235B-7-F | 6.8 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 350 mW, SOD-123 package (larger footprint, higher RθJA = 460 °C/W) | Less suitable for AEC-Q101–required automotive designs; lacks PPAP capability | Select when cost priority outweighs automotive qualification and space constraints |
| BZX84-C6V8 | 6.8 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW, SOT-23 package (3-pin, anode/cathode/common marked) | Requires PCB real estate for third pin; not AEC-Q101 qualified; higher leakage (≤5 µA @ 4 V) | Choose for legacy SOT-23 assembly lines where footprint compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with MMSZ5235B-7-F and BZX84-C6V8, the BZT585B6V8TQ-7 offers tighter voltage tolerance, automotive qualification, and superior thermal performance in the smallest available footprint - making it optimal for next-generation compact, mission-critical regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT585B6V8TQ-7?
The BZT585B6V8TQ-7 exhibits sharp reverse breakdown at 6.66–6.94 V when tested at 5 mA Zener current (IZT). Below 6.66 V, reverse leakage remains ≤2 µA at 4 V; no defined "maximum non-breakdown voltage" is specified - operation below nominal VZ is intended for leakage-sensitive biasing, not regulation.
Is BZT585B6V8TQ-7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes. The device uses matte tin–annealed Alloy 42 leads and is qualified per J-STD-020 for moisture sensitivity level 1. It supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 10–30 sec above 217°C) without degradation, verified by Diodes Incorporated's internal process validation and MIL-STD-202 solderability testing.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
The BZT585B6V8TQ-7 has a typical temperature coefficient of +3.0 mV/°C at 5 mA. Over a –40°C to +125°C range, this contributes ±0.495 V drift relative to 25°C VZ, resulting in total regulation window of 6.16–7.44 V. System-level compensation may be required for sub-1% accuracy across full temperature range.
Can BZT585B6V8TQ-7 replace BZT52C6V8 in existing designs?
No. BZT52C6V8 uses SOD-123 packaging (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm), higher RθJA (~460 °C/W), ±5% tolerance, and lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. While both regulate near 6.8 V, the BZT585B6V8TQ-7's SOD523 footprint (0.85 mm × 1.25 mm), tighter tolerance, and automotive qualification require PCB redesign and qualification revalidation.
