Product details
Overview
BZX585-B3V6,135 from Nexperia is a 3.6 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 in space-constrained low-power circuits such as sensor biasing and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B3V6,135 datasheet, BZX585-B3V6,135 pinout, BZX585-B3V6,135 application, or BZX585-B3V6,135 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), differential resistance (375 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder point), and ultra-small SOD523 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 3.6 V output across load and supply variations, with a temperature coefficient of −1.9 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - enabling predictable drift compensation in ambient-temperature-sensitive references. Its low 375 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal voltage shift under 1–5 mA regulation current.
The device supports transient suppression via 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power handling (tp = 100 µs, square wave), while its 300 mW steady-state dissipation and 65 K/W Rth(j-sp) allow reliable operation on FR4 PCBs with minimal copper area (35 mm² at cathode tab).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.53 V to 3.67 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with ±2 % tolerance for tight reference stability |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 375 Ω (typ) at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error under varying current |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −1.9 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal design margining |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous DC power limit for thermal layout planning |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs - enables short-duration surge clamping without permanent damage |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V at IF = 100 mA - specifies forward conduction loss when used in series protection or dual-direction configurations |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - critical for calculating junction temperature rise above solder point in compact thermal designs |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead surface-mount package: 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm body, 0.65 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact SOD523 footprint | Enables placement in <1.5 mm² board area - ideal for wearables, IoT sensors, and miniaturized power rails |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Reduces need for post-production trimming in precision 3.6 V reference designs (e.g., ADC bias, LDO feedback) |
| Low 375 Ω differential resistance | Limits output voltage deviation to <1.9 mV per 5 µA load change - improves regulation accuracy in low-current apps |
| 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance | Allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour without thermal vias - simplifies thermal management |
| 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating | Withstands ESD transients (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) when placed at I/O interface points |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Portable Device Voltage Reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5226BS-7-F | 3.6 V ±5 %, SOT-323 package (2.1 × 1.25 mm), 200 mW Ptot, 300 Ω rdiff | Larger footprint and looser tolerance reduce suitability for high-accuracy, space-critical designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs size and tolerance requirements |
| BZX384-B3V6,115 | 3.6 V ±2 %, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.25 mm), 300 mW Ptot, 400 Ω rdiff | 15 % higher rdiff increases load regulation error; 0.45 mm taller profile limits ultra-thin assemblies | Choose only if SOD-323 reflow profile compatibility is mandatory and 375 Ω rdiff is not required |
Compared with MMBZ5226BS-7-F and BZX384-B3V6,115, BZX585-B3V6,135 delivers superior regulation accuracy (±2 % + 375 Ω rdiff) in the smallest available footprint (SOD523), making it optimal for next-generation miniaturized power management where thermal and spatial constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-B3V6,135 at 25 °C?
The maximum continuous reverse current is derived from its 300 mW total power dissipation and 3.6 V Zener voltage, yielding approximately 83 mA (IZ = Ptot/VZ). This assumes no ambient temperature rise and adequate PCB copper area (35 mm² at cathode tab) per datasheet thermal condition.
Can BZX585-B3V6,135 be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - BZX585-B3V6,135 is specified for 3.53–3.67 V at 5 mA, not 3.3 V. Substituting it for a 3.3 V Zener would cause ~0.3 V over-regulation, potentially exceeding downstream IC absolute maximum ratings. Use BZX585-B3V3,135 for 3.3 V applications.
How does the −1.9 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
A −1.9 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage decreases by 1.9 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. Over a 125 °C range (−40 °C to +85 °C), this results in ~237 mV total drift - acceptable for non-precision references but requires compensation in metrology-grade designs.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - Nexperia provides a validated reflow footprint (Fig. 12) and recommends JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant profiles. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C, and time above 217 °C should be limited to 60–150 seconds to avoid package delamination or marking degradation.
