Product details
Overview
BZX585-B5V6,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 5.6 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power capability. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning, microcontroller reset circuits, and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B5V6,115 datasheet, BZX585-B5V6,115 pinout, BZX585-B5V6,115 application, or BZX585-B5V6,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.6 V Zener voltage tolerance, 80 Ω typical differential resistance at 5 mA, −2.0 to +1.0 mV/K temperature coefficient, and ultra-small SOD523 footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its design targets low-current regulation (IZ = 1–5 mA), with specified reverse current ≤1.0 µA at VR = 4.0 V and ≤2.5 µA at VR = 5.0 V.
The device exhibits a negative-to-positive transition in temperature coefficient near 5.6 V, enabling improved thermal stability in mid-voltage reference designs. Its 1.1 V forward voltage at 100 mA supports use as a low-drop rectifier or ESD protection element in bidirectional configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.49 V to 5.71 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 5 V rail stabilization |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 80 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and regulation error under load variation |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −2.0 to +1.0 mV/K - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² copper - sets maximum continuous DC or low-duty-cycle pulse handling |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - supports transient surge suppression without failure |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤1.0 µA at VR = 4.0 V - ensures minimal leakage before breakdown onset in standby circuits |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max at IF = 100 mA - allows use as low-loss series diode in dual-purpose protection schemes |
Pinout & Package
The BZX585-B5V6,115 is housed in an SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm × 0.65 mm, with cathode identified by a marking bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marker determines correct orientation for reverse-bias operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path during Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tight regulation without post-production trimming in 5 V reference designs |
| Low differential resistance (80 Ω typ.) | Minimizes output voltage shift under ±1 mA load changes in feedback-sensing applications |
| SOD523 ultra-small footprint | Reduces PCB area by >50 % vs. SOD323, supporting high-density portable and wearable electronics |
| Non-repetitive 40 W surge rating | Withstands ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (8 kV contact / 15 kV air) without derating |
| Junction temperature range (−65 °C to +150 °C) | Supports operation in extended industrial environments including automotive under-hood zones |
Applications

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle?
The BZX585-B5V6,115 has a maximum continuous forward current of 200 mA, but its Zener operation is specified at test currents up to 5 mA for regulation. Continuous reverse current must remain within the 300 mW power limit - at 5.6 V, this corresponds to ~53.6 mA average, though practical designs limit IZ to ≤20 mA to ensure long-term reliability and thermal stability.
Can this diode be used in series or parallel configurations?
Series connection is viable for higher voltage references (e.g., two BZX585-B5V6 units yield ~11.2 V), but matching unit-to-unit VZ tolerance is required to avoid uneven stress. Parallel use is not recommended due to negative thermal feedback and current hogging - even matched units will thermally diverge, risking failure of one device.
How does the temperature coefficient affect performance at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C junction temperature, the BZX585-B5V6's SZ shifts toward the +1.0 mV/K end of its range. Over a 60 °C rise from 25 °C, this adds ~60 mV drift - resulting in a VZ of ~5.66 V. This is within the ±2 % initial tolerance band and remains usable in most non-precision applications.
Is this part suitable for automotive applications?
No - the BZX585-B5V6,115 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While its −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range meets some under-hood thermal requirements, it lacks automotive-specific qualification testing (e.g., vibration, humidity, lifetime HTOL). For automotive use, select Nexperia's AEC-Q200-qualified PZU series instead.
