Product details
Overview
BZX585-B2V4,115 from Nexperia is a 2.4 V ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference functions in space-constrained low-power circuits. It delivers 300 mW total power dissipation, 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power capability, and exhibits 275 Ω typical differential resistance at 5 mA Zener current - enabling stable clamping in power supply feedback paths, overvoltage protection, and analog reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B2V4,115 datasheet, BZX585-B2V4,115 pinout, BZX585-B2V4,115 application, or BZX585-B2V4,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.4 V nominal Zener voltage with tight ±2 % tolerance, ultra-small SOD523 footprint, low thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder point), and verified performance under transient surge conditions (tp = 100 µs, square wave).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 2.4 V reference across a 1–5 mA working current range, with temperature coefficient of −3.5 to −1.3 mV/K ensuring predictable drift in ambient-temperature-sensitive designs. Its low 275 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA minimizes output impedance variation under load changes.
The device uses planar epitaxial construction for consistent Zener characteristics and low leakage, with cathode identification via a visible marking bar on the SOD523 body. Thermal design relies on direct heat conduction through the cathode tab to PCB copper (Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W), not ambient convection (Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.4 V nominal, ±2 % tolerance (2.35–2.45 V) - ensures precise regulation in 2.5 V rail monitoring and low-voltage reference circuits. |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 275 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - maintains stable output voltage under small-signal current variations in feedback networks. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² cathode copper - defines continuous DC operating limit in compact power management stages. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure in ESD-coupled signal lines. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max at IF = 100 mA - enables use as low-drop rectifier or polarity protection element in auxiliary bias paths. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 µA max at VR = 1 V - guarantees minimal leakage in high-impedance sensing nodes and battery-backed reference circuits. |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - permits operation in extended industrial environments including automotive under-hood auxiliary modules. |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead surface-mount package: 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm body, 0.65 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface. Designed for reflow soldering using IPC-7095-compliant footprint (1.4 mm × 0.4 mm solder lands).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; carries reverse breakdown current; thermal path to PCB copper via exposed cathode tab. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path; electrically isolated from thermal pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact SOD523 footprint | Enables placement in <1.5 mm² board area - critical for wearables, hearing aids, and miniaturized IoT sensor nodes. |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Reduces need for post-production trimming in precision 2.4 V references used in ADC biasing and DAC output clamping. |
| Low 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance | Allows >2× higher pulsed power handling vs. standard SOD323 when mounted per Nexperia's recommended land pattern. |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge rating | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges (1 A, 500 ns) without parameter shift - suitable for CAN/LIN bus line protection. |
| −3.5 to −1.3 mV/K temperature coefficient | Provides predictable negative drift for compensation in temperature-stable bandgap references or sensor excitation circuits. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5221BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 2.4 V ±5 %, SOT-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm), 200 mW Ptot, 200 Ω rdiff | Larger footprint, looser tolerance, lower surge rating (25 W) - less suitable for space-constrained precision designs. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs size/tolerance requirements and thermal performance is secondary. |
| BZX384-B2V4 (Nexperia) | 2.4 V ±2 %, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm), 300 mW Ptot, 300 Ω rdiff, Rth(j-sp) = 120 K/W | Same electrical specs but 2.5× larger footprint and 85 % higher thermal resistance - reduces pulsed power margin. | Choose only if legacy SOD-323 layout reuse is mandatory and board area is unconstrained. |
Compared with MMBZ5221BS-7-F and BZX384-B2V4, BZX585-B2V4,115 offers superior space efficiency (45 % smaller area), tighter tolerance control, and 46 % lower junction-to-solder thermal resistance - directly improving reliability in thermally dense layouts and enabling higher-density mixed-signal PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 25 °C?
The absolute maximum continuous reverse current is derived from Ptot = 300 mW and VZ = 2.4 V, yielding IZ(max) ≈ 125 mA. However, the datasheet specifies a 200 mA forward current limit and does not define a separate continuous reverse current rating - operation above 5 mA is discouraged for long-term stability due to self-heating effects on voltage accuracy.
Can BZX585-B2V4,115 be used in place of a 2.5 V Zener in a voltage reference circuit?
No - its nominal Zener voltage is 2.4 V (2.35–2.45 V range), not 2.5 V. Substituting it for a 2.5 V part introduces a systematic 4 % error in reference level, which exceeds typical tolerance budgets for precision ADC references or voltage comparators. Use BZX585-B2V7 or BZX585-B2V7,115 for 2.7 V alternatives.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance compared to SOD323?
The SOD523's smaller size reduces copper attachment area, but Nexperia optimized its cathode tab geometry to achieve Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W - 46 % lower than the 120 K/W of the SOD323-packaged BZX384-B2V4. This enables higher pulsed power handling despite smaller footprint, confirmed by identical 40 W PZSM rating across both packages.
Is this Zener diode suitable for automotive applications?
No - the BZX585 series is not AEC-Q200 qualified. The datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" and prohibits use in safety-critical or automotive systems unless separately validated by the customer. For automotive-grade 2.4 V Zeners, consider Nexperia's Automotive Qualified BZX84 series (AEC-Q200 certified, SOT-23).
