Product details
Overview
BZX585-B5V1,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 5.1 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 400 Ω typical differential resistance and 300 mW total power dissipation. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog sensing and power rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B5V1,115 datasheet, BZX585-B5V1,115 pinout, BZX585-B5V1,115 application, or BZX585-B5V1,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder-point), non-repetitive surge capability (40 W, 100 µs), cathode-marked polarity, and SOD523 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal 5.1 V regulation voltage at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −2.7 to −0.5 mV/K across its operating current range. Its low 400 Ω differential resistance ensures stable output under varying load conditions.
The device features ultra-small SOD523 packaging with 0.34 mm lead pitch and cathode band marking, optimized for reflow soldering on FR4 PCBs with ≥35 mm² copper area at the cathode tab. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 65 K/W, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.00 V to 5.20 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation threshold for 3.3 V/5 V rail monitoring |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables tighter voltage margin control than ±5 % variants in feedback loops |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 400 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² Cu - sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 µs square wave - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤2.0 µA at VR = 3.0 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - enables predictable thermal rise during pulsed operation with localized copper heatsinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-C5V1,115 | ±5 % tolerance, higher 480 Ω rdiff, identical package and PZSM | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy requirements | Select when budget constraints dominate and ±5 % voltage margin is acceptable in feedback design |
| MMSZ5222BS-7-F | ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, 500 Ω rdiff | Requires larger PCB footprint but offers higher continuous power handling | Choose when thermal derating on small boards necessitates >300 mW steady-state dissipation |
Compared with BZX585-C5V1,115, the BZX585-B5V1,115 delivers tighter voltage control critical for precision references; versus MMSZ5222BS-7-F, it sacrifices 200 mW Ptot for 45 % smaller board area-ideal for miniaturized wearables and hearing aids.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX585-B5V1,115?
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. Sustained forward current above 100 mA risks thermal overstress due to 1.1 V forward drop and limited thermal resistance.
Can BZX585-B5V1,115 be used in place of a 5.1 V TL431 shunt regulator?
No-it lacks the active feedback and adjustable reference architecture of the TL431. The BZX585-B5V1,115 is a passive two-terminal Zener with fixed 5.1 V breakdown; it cannot source current or regulate dynamically like the TL431, which requires external resistors and provides 2.5 V reference with programmable output.
How does the cathode band marking align with the SOD523 package outline?
The cathode band is located on the top surface adjacent to Pin 1, matching the "cathode band" label in Figure 11 of the datasheet. When viewed from above with the marking band leftmost, Pin 1 (cathode) is the left terminal and Pin 2 (anode) is the right terminal-verified by Nexperia's official SOD523 mechanical drawing.
Is BZX585-B5V1,115 suitable for automotive applications?
No-the datasheet explicitly states this part is non-automotive qualified. It is neither tested nor warranted for AEC-Q200 stress requirements, extended temperature cycling, or automotive-grade reliability. For automotive use, select Nexperia's automotive-qualified Zener series such as PZUxxB2 or BZX84-A.
