Product details
Overview
BZX585-B10,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 10 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power capability. It delivers low differential resistance (20 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA) and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, serving as a precision voltage reference in space-constrained power rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B10,115 datasheet, BZX585-B10,115 pinout, BZX585-B10,115 application, or BZX585-B10,115 equivalent, this device supports low-current voltage clamping, analog signal conditioning, and overvoltage protection in portable electronics, sensor interfaces, and industrial control modules where tight voltage tolerance and ultra-small footprint are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +4.5 mV/K (typ.) and reverse current ≤ 0.2 µA at 7.6 V. Its thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 65 K/W, enabling stable regulation under transient surge conditions when mounted on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper area at cathode.
The device uses planar epitaxial silicon construction and features a cathode-marked SOD523 package optimized for reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its non-repetitive peak reverse power rating of 40 W applies to 100 µs square-wave pulses at Tj = 25 °C, supporting short-duration overvoltage suppression without thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.50 V to 10.50 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures ±2 % regulation accuracy for stable reference generation |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 20 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - defines continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs - enables robust transient voltage suppression without permanent damage |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 0.2 µA at VR = 7.6 V - guarantees low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in extended industrial and automotive-adjacent environments |
| Package | SOD523 (SC-79) - 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm footprint ideal for ultra-dense PCB layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-C10,115 | ±5 % tolerance (9.5 V–10.5 V vs. B-series 9.5 V–10.5 V); identical package and power ratings | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs need for tighter regulation in non-critical bias networks | Select for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where ±5 % VZ meets system margin requirements |
| MMSZ4686T1G | 10 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, higher rdiff (40 Ω) | Requires larger PCB area but supports higher continuous power in less thermally constrained designs | Choose when board space permits larger footprint and higher steady-state power dissipation is needed |
Compared with BZX585-C10,115, the BZX585-B10,115 offers tighter tolerance for precision references; versus MMSZ4686T1G, it trades 2.5× smaller footprint and lower leakage for reduced power headroom and higher cost per unit.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX585-B10,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per Absolute Maximum Ratings (Table 5). However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; sustained forward bias above 100 mA risks thermal overstress due to VF ≈ 1.1 V and limited thermal dissipation in SOD523 packaging.
Can BZX585-B10,115 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and parameter spread; paralleling causes current hogging and thermal runaway. For higher power, use a single higher-rated device like PZM10A or implement active regulation with a transistor-based shunt.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C?
With +4.5 mV/K typical coefficient, VZ shifts +225 mV across 50 K ΔT. At 5 mA, combined with 20 Ω rdiff, total drift remains within ±0.35 V - acceptable for non-precision applications but requires compensation in metrology-grade designs.
Is BZX585-B10,115 suitable for automotive applications?
It is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While its −65 °C to +150 °C junction rating covers automotive under-hood temperatures, absence of qualification testing for vibration, humidity, and lifetime reliability means it should only be used in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems with additional system-level validation.
