Product details
Overview
BZX585-B3V9,135 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 3.9 V nominal regulation voltage at 5 mA, with 400 Ω typical differential resistance and 300 mW total power dissipation. It serves as a precision voltage reference or low-power shunt regulator in space-constrained consumer and industrial power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B3V9,135 datasheet, BZX585-B3V9,135 pinout, BZX585-B3V9,135 application, or BZX585-B3V9,135 equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-small footprint voltage stabilization where thermal resistance to solder point (65 K/W) and low reverse leakage (≤3.0 µA at VR = 1.0 V) are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 3.82 V to 3.98 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K to −1.9 mV/K across its operating current range. Its low 400 Ω differential resistance ensures stable regulation under small load variations.
The device supports non-repetitive surge handling up to 40 W for 100 µs square-wave pulses at Tj = 25 °C, while maintaining junction temperatures within −65 °C to +150 °C limits. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 65 K/W, enabling reliable operation on FR4 PCBs with minimal copper area.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for BZX585-B3V9,135?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per limiting values table. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; the device is designed for reverse-bias Zener regulation. Forward voltage is 1.1 V at 100 mA pulse test (tp ≤ 300 µs), confirming suitability only for brief surge conditions-not sustained forward operation.
Can BZX585-B3V9,135 be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No-its nominal Zener voltage is 3.9 V (range 3.82–3.98 V at 5 mA), making it unsuitable as a direct replacement for 3.3 V regulation. Using it would result in ~18 % higher regulated voltage, potentially damaging downstream 3.3 V logic. For 3.3 V, BZX585-B3V3,135 (3.3 V ±2 %) is the correct variant.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance compared to SOD-123?
The SOD523 package has a junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 65 K/W, significantly lower than typical SOD-123 devices (~120–150 K/W). This enables more efficient heat transfer from the die to the PCB cathode pad, supporting higher transient power handling (40 W) despite its smaller size and lower total power rating (300 mW).
Is BZX585-B3V9,135 automotive qualified?
No-this device is not AEC-Q200 qualified or tested for automotive applications. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products like BZX585-B3V9,135 are unsuitable for safety-critical, life-support, or automotive systems where failure could result in injury or severe damage.
