Product details
Overview
BZX585-B30,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 30 V nominal Zener voltage, 300 mW total power dissipation, and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power. It delivers low differential resistance (70 Ω at IZ = 2 mA) and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, serving as a precision voltage reference in compact power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B30,115 datasheet, BZX585-B30,115 pinout, BZX585-B30,115 application, or BZX585-B30,115 equivalent, this device supports stable low-current regulation in space-constrained consumer, industrial, and IoT endpoint designs where tight voltage tolerance and thermal robustness are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified nominal Zener voltage of 30 V at IZ = 2 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +24.4 mV/K and reverse current ≤0.05 µA at VR = 22.5 V. Its low 70 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal voltage variation under load changes.
The device uses an ultra-small SOD523 surface-mount package with cathode-marked lead configuration, optimized for high-density PCB layouts. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 65 K/W, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature when mounted on FR4 with 35 mm² copper area at the cathode tab.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30 V nominal at IZ = 2 mA; ±2 % tolerance ensures precise clamping in feedback loops. |
| Total Power Dissipation | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C; defines maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave; enables transient overvoltage suppression without failure. |
| Differential Resistance | 70 Ω typical at IZ = 2 mA; determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity to current shifts. |

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing output voltage in isolated flyback or buck converter feedback loop using optocoupler-coupled TL431 alternative. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode provides fixed 30 V reference to error amplifier input, defining regulated output setpoint. Use Value: ±2 % tolerance ensures <±0.6 V output accuracy; low rdiff maintains regulation stability across load steps. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO pins from accidental 24 V field wiring faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as shunt clamp, conducting excess current when reverse voltage exceeds 30 V threshold. Use Value: 40 W surge rating absorbs 100 µs transients without failure; 0.05 µA leakage avoids signal integrity issues. |
| Portable Battery Voltage Monitor | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Scaling lithium-ion battery pack voltage (e.g., 0–42 V) into ADC input range of low-power PMIC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forms precision voltage divider leg with high-value resistor to attenuate and reference battery voltage. Use Value: Tight 30 V tolerance enables accurate full-scale calibration; 150 °C max Tj supports operation near battery cells. |
Use Scenario: Providing stable bias voltage for analog front-end op-amps in 4–20 mA transmitter modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies clean, low-noise 30 V rail for op-amp VCC, rejecting ripple from unregulated 36 V loop supply. Use Value: 70 Ω rdiff limits noise coupling; 300 mW Ptot accommodates worst-case quiescent current in harsh environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-C30,115 | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %); identical package, power ratings, and Zener voltage nominal. | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirement; higher IR (0.05 µA vs. 0.05 µA same) and rdiff (80 Ω vs. 70 Ω). | Select for non-critical biasing where 30 V ±1.5 V suffices and BOM cost reduction is prioritized. |
| MMSZ5257ET1G | SOD-123 package (larger); ±5 % tolerance; 500 mW Ptot; 30 V nominal; rdiff = 40 Ω at IZ = 20 mA. | Higher power handling but larger footprint; better regulation at higher currents, unsuitable for ultra-dense layouts. | Choose when board space permits and higher continuous current (>2 mA) regulation stability is needed. |
Compared with BZX585-C30,115, the BZX585-B30,115 offers tighter voltage control critical for precision references; versus MMSZ5257ET1G, it trades power margin and lower rdiff for 40 % smaller PCB area and superior thermal performance in confined spaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX585-B30,115 can sustain?
The device has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; its safe operating limit is defined by total power dissipation (300 mW at 25 °C ambient). At 30 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to ~10 mA average reverse current on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper at cathode. Derating applies above 25 °C per Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W.
Can BZX585-B30,115 be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - BZX585-B30,115 is a 30 V Zener diode, not 3.3 V. Substituting it for a 3.3 V part would result in catastrophic overvoltage at the regulated node. For 3.3 V regulation, use BZX585-B3V3,115 (3.3 V, ±2 %) or BZX585-C3V3,115 (3.3 V, ±5 %), both in identical SOD523 packaging.
How does the cathode marking appear on the BZX585-B30,115 package?
The cathode is marked by a visible bar on the top surface of the SOD523 package, aligned with Pin 1. Per datasheet Figure 11, this bar is located adjacent to the shorter end of the rectangular body and corresponds to the terminal labeled "K" in the pinning diagram. Visual inspection confirms polarity before placement.
Is BZX585-B30,115 suitable for automotive applications?
No - this part is not automotive-qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in Section 14 that non-automotive qualified products like BZX585-B30,115 are neither tested nor warranted for automotive use. For AEC-Q200 compliance, select Nexperia's automotive-grade Zener series (e.g., BZX84-Axxx variants) with documented qualification reports.
