Product details
Overview
BZX585-B3V3,135 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog and digital supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B3V3,135 datasheet, BZX585-B3V3,135 pinout, BZX585-B3V3,135 application, or BZX585-B3V3,135 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), differential resistance (350 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder point), and ultra-small SOD523 footprint for space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 3.3 V reference under regulated current conditions (IZ = 5 mA typical), with low temperature coefficient (−1.8 mV/K) ensuring minimal drift across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Its 350 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA supports tight regulation in low-current bias networks.
The device features two-terminal construction with cathode-marked anode-cathode polarity, optimized for surface-mount reflow soldering on FR4 PCBs with ≥35 mm² copper area at cathode tab. It delivers 5.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 1.0 V and 1.1 V forward voltage at IF = 100 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.3 V nominal, ±2 % tolerance (3.23 V to 3.37 V) - ensures precise clamping in 3.3 V system rails |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - defines continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 350 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output impedance in shunt regulator designs |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −1.8 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree, critical for temperature-stable references |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5.0 µA max at VR = 1.0 V - limits standby current in always-on protection circuits |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - enables transient surge suppression without failure |
| Junction-to-Solder Point Rth | 65 K/W - governs thermal rise during pulsed operation when mounted per recommended footprint |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-C3V3,135 | ±5 % tolerance (3.14–3.47 V), higher rdiff (500 Ω), same package and Ptot | Acceptable where tighter voltage control is not required, e.g., non-critical supply monitoring | Select for cost-sensitive designs where ±5 % VZ meets system margin requirements |
| MMSZ5226B-7-F | 3.3 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, 600 Ω rdiff | Higher power handling but 2.3× larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Choose when higher continuous power (500 mW) outweighs board space constraints |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX585-B3V3,135?
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. Forward voltage is specified at 100 mA (1.1 V max), but sustained forward operation above 10 mA risks thermal overstress due to low thermal mass.
Can BZX585-B3V3,135 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and manufacturing spread, causing current hogging when paralleled. Even matched units will thermally diverge, risking thermal runaway. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or switch to an active shunt regulator topology.
What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
Mount the device on FR4 with ≥35 mm² copper area connected to the cathode pad, using the reflow footprint in Figure 12 (1.4 mm × 0.4 mm solder lands, 2.15 mm overall length). Avoid thermal relief on cathode pad and ensure solder mask clearance around both terminals to maximize heat transfer to the plane.
How does the −1.8 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At IZ = 5 mA, the coefficient causes a −1.8 mV shift per °C change in junction temperature. Over a 100 °C range (−50 °C to +50 °C), this yields ±180 mV drift - but actual system-level drift is reduced by self-heating moderation and ambient stabilization. In practice, measured drift in typical PCB mounting is <±30 mV from −40 °C to +85 °C ambient.
