Product details
Overview
BZX585-B3V0,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 3.0 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 325 Ω typical differential resistance and 10 µA max reverse current at 2.4 V. It delivers stable voltage reference in space-constrained power rail monitoring and low-current biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B3V0,115 datasheet, BZX585-B3V0,115 pinout, BZX585-B3V0,115 application, or BZX585-B3V0,115 equivalent, this part supports precision low-voltage regulation where ultra-small footprint, tight tolerance, and low thermal resistance (65 K/W to solder point) are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 3.0 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 to −1.6 mV/K across its operating range. Its low 325 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal voltage deviation under load variation.
The device sustains non-repetitive peak reverse power up to 40 W (100 µs square wave, Tj = 25 °C), while continuous dissipation is limited to 300 mW at 25 °C ambient on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper area. Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance is 65 K/W, enabling effective heat transfer in compact layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.94 V to 3.06 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise 3.0 V regulation window for low-voltage reference stability |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 325 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 10 µA at VR = 2.4 V - ensures minimal leakage below knee voltage in standby operation |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² cathode copper - sets maximum continuous DC bias capability |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 µs square wave - enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - supports thermal reliability in high-density PCB assemblies with direct cathode thermal path |
| Package | SOD523 (SC-79) - 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm footprint ideal for wearables, IoT sensors, and portable battery management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-C3V0,115 | ±5 % tolerance (2.85–3.15 V), same SOD523 package and thermal specs | Acceptable where 3.0 V reference accuracy ≤ ±5 % suffices, e.g., non-critical power-good detection | Select for cost-sensitive designs where tighter tolerance is unnecessary and inventory consolidation is prioritized |
| MMSZ4678T1G | 3.0 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm), 500 mW Ptot, 100 Ω rdiff | Higher power handling but 3× larger footprint; better for higher-current biasing (>5 mA) | Choose when board space permits and lower dynamic impedance is required, especially in linear regulator feedback paths |
Compared with BZX585-C3V0,115, the BZX585-B3V0,115 offers tighter regulation for precision analog functions; versus MMSZ4678T1G, it trades higher rdiff for 55 % smaller footprint-critical in wearable and hearing aid PCBs where every 0.1 mm² matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX585-B3V0,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per IEC 60134 limiting values. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; the device is designed for reverse-bias Zener regulation. Sustained forward current above 100 mA risks thermal overstress due to 1.1 V forward drop and 350 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance.
Can BZX585-B3V0,115 be used as a 3.0 V voltage reference in ADC circuits?
Yes-it provides a stable 3.0 V reference with ±2 % tolerance and low 10 µA leakage at 2.4 V, making it suitable for 8–10-bit ADC scaling where external reference precision is secondary to size and cost. For 12-bit+ systems, its 325 Ω differential resistance may introduce gain error if loaded beyond 100 µA.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At 3.0 V, the BZX585-B3V0 exhibits a temperature coefficient of −3.5 to −1.6 mV/K. Over −20 to +70 °C, this causes a −175 to −112 mV shift, or −5.8 % to −3.7 % deviation from nominal. This must be compensated in high-accuracy references via circuit-level tempco correction or selection of higher-VZ variants with positive coefficients.
Is BZX585-B3V0,115 suitable for automotive applications?
No-this device is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products like the BZX585 series are unsuitable for safety-critical or automotive use. For automotive-grade Zeners, consider Nexperia's Automotive Qualified (AQ) series such as PZTA42/AQ or BZX84-AQ variants.
