Product details
Overview
BZX585-B39,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 39 V nominal regulation voltage, 300 mW total power dissipation, and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power at 100 µs pulse width. It delivers low differential resistance (80 Ω typ. at IZ = 2 mA) and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B39,115 datasheet, BZX585-B39,115 pinout, BZX585-B39,115 application, or BZX585-B39,115 equivalent, this device serves as a compact, thermally efficient voltage clamp in battery management, USB interface protection, and low-power sensor supply regulation where tight voltage tolerance and ultra-small footprint are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified nominal Zener voltage of 39 V at IZ = 2 mA, exhibiting a typical differential resistance of 80 Ω and a temperature coefficient of +33.4 mV/K. Its SC-79 package enables surface-mount integration on high-density PCBs while maintaining thermal resistance of 65 K/W from junction to solder point.
The device supports non-repetitive surge handling up to 40 W (100 µs square wave, Tj = 25 °C), with maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 100 mA and reverse leakage current ≤ 0.05 µA at 29.4 V. It is designed for stable DC voltage reference and transient clamping without requiring external biasing circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-B39,115 at 25 °C ambient?
The device has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; instead, its DC power limit is defined by Ptot = 300 mW. At 39 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum steady-state Zener current of approximately 7.7 mA (300 mW ÷ 39 V), assuming negligible forward drop and ideal thermal conditions on FR4 PCB.
Can BZX585-B39,115 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No-Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and manufacturing spread, causing current imbalance and thermal runaway when paralleled. For higher power, use a single higher-rated device like BZX84-C39 or discrete MOSFET-based active clamps instead.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the SOD523 outline complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 60 s max above 217 °C). Figure 12 in the datasheet provides exact solder land dimensions for optimal wetting and void control.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C?
At 39 V nominal, the specified temperature coefficient is +33.4 mV/K. Over a 125 K range, this produces a worst-case drift of ±4.18 V (33.4 mV/K × 125 K), meaning regulation shifts from ~34.8 V to ~43.2 V. System-level compensation or tighter tolerance selection (e.g., ±2 %) mitigates this in precision applications.
