Product details
Overview
BZX585B36 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 36 V, ±2% tolerance, 200 mW power dissipation, and SOD-523F package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and protection circuits for consumer, industrial, and communication electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585B36 datasheet, BZX585B36 pinout, BZX585B36 application, or BZX585B36 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy (35.28–36.72 V at 2 mA), dynamic impedance (329 Ω max at IZT), reverse leakage (<0.045 µA at 25.2 V), temperature coefficient (+30.4 mV/°C), and MSL-1 reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
The BZX585B36 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, conducting in reverse breakdown when biased above its specified zener voltage. Its 2% tolerance and tight voltage spread ensure stable reference generation in precision analog circuits without external trimming.
Designed for ambient temperatures up to +150°C and junction temperatures to +150°C, it maintains regulation under thermal stress. Its SOD-523F package supports high-density PCB layouts and withstands 260°C/10s soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V nominal, 35.28–36.72 V at 2 mA - ensures accurate voltage clamping within ±2% across production lot |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous power handling in compact SOD-523F footprint without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 329 Ω max at 2 mA - defines regulation stiffness; higher impedance than lower-voltage variants due to intrinsic semiconductor physics |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.045 µA at 25.2 V - enables ultra-low standby current in battery-backed reference circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +30.4 mV/°C - positive drift characteristic typical of >6 V Zeners; requires thermal compensation in high-stability references |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 680 °C/W - reflects high junction-to-ambient resistance inherent to SOD-523F's minimal copper pad exposure |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | MSL-1 - allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking preconditioning |
Pinout & Package
SOD-523F is a miniature surface-mount plastic package measuring 0.70–0.90 mm (A), 1.50–1.70 mm (B), with cathode marked by a band on the top surface. The device has two terminals: anode and cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common or lower-potential rail; forms return path during forward bias or zener regulation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Voltage reference output | Marked end; supplies regulated voltage when reverse-biased above VZ; must be held at higher potential than anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5267B (ON Semiconductor) | 36 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 350 mW, SOT-23 package, 700 Ω ZZT | Higher power and looser tolerance; larger footprint and higher thermal resistance | Select when board space permits larger package and tighter voltage tolerance is not required |
| BZX384-B36 (Nexperia) | 36 V nominal, ±2% tolerance, 300 mW, SOD-323 package, 300 Ω ZZT, MSL-1 | Same tolerance and voltage, higher PD, slightly larger SOD-323 footprint (1.3 × 0.85 mm vs. 0.9 × 1.6 mm) | Choose for improved power margin while retaining comparable thermal and electrical performance |

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for BZX585B36 at 25°C?
The BZX585B36 has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 35.28 V to 36.72 V when tested at 2 mA (IZT) and ambient temperature 25°C. This ±2% tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision C1607. The BZX585B36 achieves this tight specification through laser-trimmed wafer-level process control.
Is BZX585B36 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the BZX585B36 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements. Its halogen-free epoxy and Pb-free terminations ensure compatibility with standard SAC305 profiles. The BZX585B36's MSL-1 rating means no baking is required prior to assembly, simplifying manufacturing flow.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZX585B36?
The maximum reverse leakage current for BZX585B36 is 0.045 µA at 25.2 V (70% of nominal VZ), measured at 25°C. This ultra-low leakage is critical for battery-operated systems and high-impedance reference networks. The BZX585B36 maintains this spec across its full operating temperature range, supporting reliable long-term operation.
Does BZX585B36 have a specified zener impedance, and what does it mean for circuit design?
Yes, the BZX585B36 has a maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 329 Ω at 2 mA test current. This value quantifies how much the output voltage changes per unit change in current - lower ZZT yields better regulation. At 36 V, the BZX585B36's ZZT is higher than lower-voltage variants due to semiconductor physics, so designers should account for steeper load regulation slope in sensitive analog circuits using the BZX585B36.
What packaging options are available for BZX585B36?
The BZX585B36 is supplied in 7-inch reels containing 8,000 units (standard packing code RSG). Tape-and-reel format complies with EIA-481-D standards and supports high-speed pick-and-place assembly. Each reel includes full traceability documentation, and the green compound marking aligns with Taiwan Semiconductor's Small Signal Product family identification system for the BZX585B36.
