Product details
Overview
BZX585-B11,135 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 11 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power handling. It delivers low differential resistance (25 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA) and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained consumer and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B11,135 datasheet, BZX585-B11,135 pinout, BZX585-B11,135 application, or BZX585-B11,135 equivalent, this part supports compact voltage stabilization in battery management, sensor interface biasing, and microcontroller reset circuitry where tight tolerance and ultra-small footprint are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified 11 V nominal working voltage (VZ = 10.78–11.22 V at IZ = 5 mA), exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +5.4 to +9.0 mV/K across its operating current range. Its low thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W) enables reliable surge handling when soldered directly to PCB copper.
The device features two-terminal construction with cathode-marked anode-cathode polarity, optimized for DC voltage regulation and transient suppression in low-power analog and digital subsystems - not intended for high-frequency signal routing or switching applications.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-C11,135 | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %), identical VZ range and package | Lower cost for non-critical biasing where 11.55 V max regulation is acceptable | Select when budget constraints outweigh need for tight voltage accuracy |
| MMSZ5240B-7-F | Same 11 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm vs. 1.7 × 0.85 mm) | Higher thermal mass but 3× larger footprint; 500 mW Ptot rating | Choose only if board layout permits larger size and higher continuous power is required |
Compared with BZX585-C11,135 and MMSZ5240B-7-F, the BZX585-B11,135 uniquely balances ultra-miniature packaging, ±2 % precision, and 40 W surge capability - making it optimal for next-generation miniaturized systems where both accuracy and space are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX585-B11,135?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per IEC 60134 limiting values. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode - it is designed for reverse-bias Zener regulation. Continuous forward bias exceeds safe thermal limits and risks permanent degradation.
Can BZX585-B11,135 replace a 12 V Zener diode in a 12 V system?
No - its nominal Zener voltage is 11 V (10.78–11.22 V), not 12 V. Using it as a 12 V clamp would allow up to 1.22 V of unregulated overvoltage, risking damage to downstream 12 V-rated components. Select BZX585-B12,135 for true 12 V regulation.
Does this diode require a series resistor in regulation applications?
Yes - a current-limiting resistor is mandatory to set IZ within 1–20 mA range and prevent thermal runaway. For 12 V input and 11 V output at 5 mA, a 200 Ω ±1 % resistor provides proper bias while maintaining ±2 % regulation accuracy.
Is BZX585-B11,135 qualified for automotive applications?
No - it is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While its −65 °C to +150 °C junction rating meets some automotive temperature requirements, Nexperia explicitly states this series is non-automotive qualified and unsuitable for safety-critical vehicle systems without additional validation.
