Product details
Overview
BZX585-B4V3,115 from Nexperia is a 4.3 V ±2 % Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD523 (SC-79) 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-B4V3,115 datasheet, BZX585-B4V3,115 pinout, BZX585-B4V3,115 application, or BZX585-B4V3,115 equivalent, this part supports stable reference generation, overvoltage clamping, and low-current biasing where ultra-small footprint and tight voltage tolerance are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a typical differential resistance of 410 Ω at IZ = 5 mA and a temperature coefficient of −3.5 to −1.7 mV/K across its operating range.
It features low forward voltage (≤1.1 V at 100 mA), low reverse leakage (≤3.0 µA at 1 V), and fast transient response enabled by its 3.0 pF junction capacitance at 0 V - all optimized for compact, low-power regulation and protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.3 V ±2 % at IZ = 5 mA - ensures precise voltage reference stability for feedback loops and threshold detection |
| Total Power Dissipation | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - defines continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper area |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - enables robust transient surge suppression without device failure |
| Differential Resistance | 410 Ω (typ) at IZ = 5 mA - determines regulation accuracy under load variation |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance | 350 K/W - limits temperature rise during steady-state operation in free air |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤3.0 µA at VR = 1 V - minimizes quiescent current in battery-powered standby circuits |
| Junction Capacitance | 3.0 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - preserves high-frequency signal integrity in RF bias or timing networks |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-B4V3,115?
The maximum continuous reverse current is derived from its 300 mW total power dissipation and 4.3 V Zener voltage, yielding approximately 70 mA (300 mW ÷ 4.3 V). This assumes ambient temperature of 25 °C on an FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper at the cathode tab, per datasheet condition.
Can BZX585-B4V3,115 be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - BZX585-B4V3,115 has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V, not 3.3 V. Substituting it for a 3.3 V device would result in incorrect regulation or clamping thresholds. For 3.3 V regulation, use BZX585-B3V3,115 (3.3 V ±2 %) instead.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies compatibility with JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. The recommended reflow footprint (Fig. 12) uses 0.5 mm pad width, 1.4 mm pad length, and 0.4 mm solder mask opening, supporting both leaded and lead-free processes with peak temperatures up to 260 °C.
Does BZX585-B4V3,115 have automotive qualification?
No - the BZX585 series is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It is intended for commercial and industrial applications only. For automotive-grade Zener diodes, consider Nexperia's Automotive Qualified BZX84 series or consult Aetrix for AEC-Q200-compliant alternatives.
