Product details
Overview
BZX585B13 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 13 V, ±2% tolerance, 200 mW power dissipation, and SOD-523F package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power signal conditioning, reference, and protection circuits across consumer, industrial, and automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585B13 datasheet, BZX585B13 pinout, BZX585B13 application, or BZX585B13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 13 V zener voltage at 5 mA test current, 160 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.09 μA reverse leakage at 10 V, temperature coefficient of +7.0 mV/°C, and MSL-1 moisture sensitivity rating for reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
The BZX585B13 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp or regulate voltage. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5 mA with 12.74 V minimum and 13.26 V maximum, and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+7.0 mV/°C), indicating increasing VZ with junction temperature.
Thermal resistance RθJA is 680 °C/W, limiting usable ambient temperature range under full power. The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and supports high-temperature soldering (260 °C/10 s), confirming suitability for standard lead-free reflow profiles.

Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 13 V reference for LDO feedback networks or ADC voltage references in battery-powered IoT sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acting as shunt voltage reference, absorbing excess current to maintain regulated node voltage. Use Value: Delivers 13 V ±2% accuracy with <0.1 μA leakage, minimizing loading on high-impedance sensor signal paths. | Use Scenario: Clamping transient surges on 12 V automotive CAN bus lines or industrial I/O ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased voltage clamp limiting line voltage to 13.3 V peak during ESD or load-dump events. Use Value: Fast response (<1 ns) and 200 mW surge capability protect downstream transceivers without adding series resistance. |
| Signal Level Shifting | Temperature-Compensated Biasing |
Use Scenario: Biasing op-amp input stages in analog front-ends requiring fixed 13 V common-mode offset. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DC level translator establishing known reference potential for differential signal conditioning. Use Value: Stable 13 V output with +7.0 mV/°C TC allows predictable offset tracking across –40°C to +125°C operating range. | Use Scenario: Compensating base-emitter voltage drift in precision current sources using bipolar transistors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode paired with NTC thermistor or complementary transistor to counteract VBE temperature dependence. Use Value: Positive TC (+7.0 mV/°C) offsets typical negative VBE drift (~−2 mV/°C), enabling near-zero net TC bias networks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5242BS-7-F | 13 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 200 mW, SOD-323 package, 170 Ω ZZT, −2.5 mV/°C TC | Negative TC requires opposite compensation strategy; larger SOD-323 footprint increases board area | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs tolerance and TC requirements; verify layout clearance for larger package |
| BZX384-B13 | 13 V nominal, ±2% tolerance, 300 mW, SOD-323 package, 130 Ω ZZT, +7.5 mV/°C TC | Higher power rating allows greater surge margin but requires derating above 75°C ambient | Prefer for higher-reliability transient suppression where 300 mW headroom improves robustness |
Compared with MMBZ5242BS-7-F and BZX384-B13, the BZX585B13 offers tighter tolerance and identical TC sign, while its SOD-523F size saves 35% board area versus SOD-323 alternatives-critical for space-constrained wearables and miniaturized modules.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the BZX585B13?
The BZX585B13 has a zener voltage tolerance of ±2% at 5 mA test current, with a guaranteed range of 12.74 V to 13.26 V. This tight tolerance supports precision reference applications without external calibration. The BZX585B13 maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range and is verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's C1607 revision testing protocol.
Is the BZX585B13 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the BZX585B13 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements. Its SOD-523F package and halogen-free epoxy ensure reliability under standard Pb-free thermal profiles. The BZX585B13 also carries MSL-1 rating, eliminating the need for pre-baking before assembly.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the BZX585B13?
The BZX585B13 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of 150°C, consistent with its silicon die construction and SOD-523F thermal design. Derating begins above 75°C ambient due to its 680 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The BZX585B13 must be operated within this limit to ensure long-term parametric stability and reliability.
Does the BZX585B13 have a positive or negative temperature coefficient?
The BZX585B13 has a positive temperature coefficient of +7.0 mV/°C at 5 mA, meaning its zener voltage increases linearly with rising junction temperature. This behavior is confirmed in the official electrical characteristics table and supports temperature-compensated circuit designs. The BZX585B13's TC value is measured and specified per Taiwan Semiconductor's C1607 datasheet revision.
What packaging options are available for the BZX585B13?
The BZX585B13 is supplied in 7-inch reels containing 8,000 units (standard packing code RSG). All units use green compound encapsulation and comply with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and WEEE 2002/96/EC. The BZX585B13's SOD-523F package dimensions and reel specifications are fully documented in the mechanical data section of the C1607 datasheet.
