Product details
Overview
BZX585-B13,135 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode with nominal 13 V regulation voltage in an SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small surface-mount package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B13,135 datasheet, BZX585-B13,135 pinout, BZX585-B13,135 application, or BZX585-B13,135 equivalent, this part supports low-current regulation at 5 mA test current, features 25 Ω typical differential resistance and +7.0 mV/K temperature coefficient, and requires cathode-anode polarity awareness during PCB layout and soldering.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load conditions. It delivers 13 V nominal regulation at IZ = 5 mA with ±2 % tolerance, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +7.0 mV/K - indicating voltage increases with junction temperature.
The device uses silicon PN-junction technology in a planar epitaxial construction, optimized for low leakage (<0.1 µA at VR = 10.4 V), fast transient response, and compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its SOD523 package enables high-density placement on compact PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines primary regulation point for feedback or clamp circuits |

| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - supports surge suppression in transient events |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 10.4 V - defines leakage threshold before breakdown onset |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-B13,135?
The maximum continuous reverse current is derived from its 300 mW total power dissipation rating and 13 V Zener voltage: IZ(max) = 300 mW / 13 V ≈ 23 mA. This assumes ambient temperature of 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² copper at the cathode tab, per datasheet condition.
Does BZX585-B13,135 support bidirectional ESD protection?
No - it is a unidirectional Zener diode configured for reverse-bias operation only. Its anode-cathode structure provides clamping only when cathode is at higher potential than anode; forward conduction (anode > cathode) yields ~1.1 V drop and is not designed for ESD handling.
How does the +7.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
A +7.0 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage rises ~0.07 V per 10 °C rise in junction temperature. In thermally isolated designs, this can cause up to +0.7 V shift from 25 °C to 125 °C junction temperature, requiring derating or compensation in high-stability references.
Can BZX585-B13,135 be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing spread in VZ and rdiff, causing current imbalance. Even with matched units, thermal runaway risk exists due to positive temperature coefficient; parallel use is not recommended without active current balancing circuitry.
