Product details
Overview
BZX585-B3V0,135 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 3.0 V nominal regulation voltage at 5 mA, with 325 Ω typical differential resistance and 10 µA maximum reverse current at 2.4 V, used for precision low-power voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained consumer and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B3V0,135 datasheet, BZX585-B3V0,135 pinout, BZX585-B3V0,135 application, or BZX585-B3V0,135 equivalent, this part supports stable 3.0 V reference generation under 200 mA forward current, handles 40 W non-repetitive surge pulses, and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature - critical for compact DC-DC feedback networks and ESD-sensitive signal line protection.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled 2.94 V to 3.06 V working voltage range at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting −3.5 mV/K to −1.6 mV/K temperature coefficient depending on bias current. Its low 325 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal output voltage drift under load variation.
The device uses planar epitaxial construction for stable avalanche characteristics and integrates a cathode-marked SOD523 package optimized for high-density reflow assembly. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 65 K/W, enabling reliable operation up to 300 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCBs with 35 mm² copper area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Applications
| USB Port Overvoltage Protection | Low-Power Microcontroller Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamps 5 V USB supply rail during hot-plug transients or regulator overshoot. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acts as shunt clamp between VBUS and GND, conducting only above 3.0 V threshold. Use Value: Limits peak voltage to 3.3 V-compatible levels using 40 W surge capability, preventing damage to downstream USB PHY ICs. |
Use Scenario: Provides stable 3.0 V reference for ADC voltage scaling in battery-operated sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as precision voltage reference in ratiometric measurement circuits with microcontroller internal ADC. Use Value: ±2 % tolerance and 325 Ω rdiff ensure <±6 mV absolute error across 1–5 mA bias, improving 12-bit ADC accuracy. |
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | White LED Bias Control |
Use Scenario: Stabilizes excitation voltage for resistive bridge sensors in 4–20 mA loop transmitters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies regulated 3.0 V bias to Wheatstone bridge, rejecting supply ripple via low dynamic impedance. Use Value: 325 Ω differential resistance attenuates 100 Hz supply noise by >40 dB, reducing bridge output offset drift. |
Use Scenario: Sets constant forward current for single white LED in portable lighting modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Used in series with LED and current-limiting resistor to fix cathode voltage at 3.0 V, stabilizing LED brightness. Use Value: Low 10 µA leakage at 2.4 V prevents unintended LED glow during sleep mode, extending battery life. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-C3V0,135 | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %), identical 3.0 V nominal, same SOD523 package | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs tight regulation needs | Select when budget constraints dominate and ±5 % output variation is acceptable in feedback paths |
| MMSZ4675T1G | 3.0 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm vs. SOD523's 1.25 × 0.85 mm), 300 mW rating | Larger footprint but higher thermal mass; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Choose when board-level thermal management requires lower junction-to-ambient resistance (250 K/W vs. 350 K/W) |
Compared with BZX585-C3V0,135, the BZX585-B3V0,135 delivers tighter regulation for precision analog circuits; versus MMSZ4675T1G, it saves >70 % board area while maintaining equivalent surge handling - making it optimal for miniaturized power management where layout density and voltage accuracy are both critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX585-B3V0,135 can sustain?
The device is rated for 200 mA maximum forward current, but in Zener operation, continuous reverse current is limited by power dissipation. At 25 °C ambient on FR4 with 35 mm² copper, 300 mW total power allows ~100 mA at 3.0 V before exceeding thermal limits - actual safe operating current depends on PCB layout and ambient conditions.
Does the BZX585-B3V0,135 have automotive qualification?
No. The BZX585-B3V0,135 is not AEC-Q200 qualified and is intended for commercial and industrial applications only. It has not undergone automotive-grade stress testing, and Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in its legal disclaimers.
How does the cathode marking appear on the SOD523 package?
A visible dark bar is printed on the top surface of the SOD523 package, aligned with Pin 1 (cathode). This marking is consistent across all BZX585-B/C variants and matches the simplified outline in Figure 11 of the datasheet.
Can the BZX585-B3V0,135 replace a 3.3 V Zener in an existing design?
No - its 3.0 V nominal Zener voltage differs from 3.3 V parts by 90 mV, which may cause regulation failure in circuits relying on exact 3.3 V thresholds. Substitution requires verification of voltage margin in the target application, especially in feedback loops or clamping circuits.
