Product details
Overview
BZX585-B3V3,115 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V ±2 % Zener voltage regulator diode in an SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small surface-mount package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, used for precision low-voltage regulation in space-constrained consumer and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B3V3,115 datasheet, BZX585-B3V3,115 pinout, BZX585-B3V3,115 application, or BZX585-B3V3,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 350 Ω typical differential resistance, −1.8 mV/K temperature coefficient, and cathode-marked two-terminal configuration in SC-79 packaging.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable DC voltage across load variations and input fluctuations. It delivers regulated output with 5.0 µA maximum reverse current at 1.0 V and 3.0 µA at 2.0 V, supporting low-power biasing and reference functions.
Its thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 350 K/W on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper area, and junction-to-solder-point resistance is 65 K/W-enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under pulsed surge conditions (tp = 100 µs, square wave).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.23 V to 3.37 V at IZ = 5 mA - tight tolerance ensures accurate 3.3 V rail stabilization |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 350 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulation stiffness against load current changes |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −1.8 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - negative drift enables predictable thermal behavior in ambient-varying environments |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets continuous DC power limit on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V at IF = 100 mA - defines conduction loss when used in forward-biased protection paths |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - enables deployment in extended-temperature industrial and automotive-adjacent applications |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) plastic surface-mounted package with 2 leads; 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm footprint, 0.65 mm height, cathode indicated by marking bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity-sensitive terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes reverse-bias path for regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SMD package | SOD523 (SC-79) footprint enables placement in high-density PCB layouts with <1.1 mm² board area |
| Low differential resistance | 350 Ω typical improves voltage regulation accuracy under varying load currents |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Ensures 3.3 V output remains within 3.23–3.37 V at 5 mA, critical for 3.3 V logic supply references |
| High surge robustness | 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating allows safe handling of short-duration ESD or inductive spikes |
| Low reverse leakage | 5.0 µA max at 1.0 V reverse bias minimizes quiescent current in always-on reference circuits |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-B3V3,115?
The device has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; instead, it is rated for 300 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient. At 3.3 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to approximately 91 mA continuous Zener current on a standard FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper area at the cathode tab.
Can BZX585-B3V3,115 be used in forward conduction mode?
Yes-it exhibits 1.1 V forward voltage at 100 mA, making it suitable for low-drop rectification or polarity protection in low-current paths, though its primary design intent is reverse-bias Zener regulation, not power rectification.
How does the marking code 'C4' identify BZX585-B3V3,115?
Per Table 4 of the datasheet, 'C4' is the standardized marking code etched on the device body to denote the BZX585-B3V3 variant; the bar adjacent to pin 1 indicates the cathode, enabling unambiguous orientation during automated placement.
Is thermal derating required above 25 °C ambient?
Yes-its 300 mW rating applies only at 25 °C ambient. With a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 350 K/W, power must be linearly reduced by 0.857 mW/°C above 25 °C to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C, reaching zero allowable dissipation at ~165 °C ambient.
