Product details
Overview
BZX585-B6V8,135 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 6.8 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 300 mW total power dissipation and 215 A non-repetitive peak reverse current, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained consumer and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B6V8,135 datasheet, BZX585-B6V8,135 pinout, BZX585-B6V8,135 application, or BZX585-B6V8,135 equivalent, this part supports low-current regulation where thermal resistance to solder point (65 K/W) and differential resistance (30 Ω at 5 mA) directly impact stability in battery-powered sensors and I/O clamp circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified 6.66 V to 6.94 V working voltage range at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +1.2 mV/K to +3.0 mV/K across 25 °C to 150 °C. Its low 30 Ω typical differential resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load shifts.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with ≥35 mm² copper area at the cathode tab, it achieves 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance-critical for maintaining regulation accuracy during transient surges up to 40 W for 100 µs square-wave pulses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 6.8 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for biasing or clamping circuits |
| Zener Voltage Tolerance | ±2 % - enables tighter voltage margin control than ±5 % variants in precision references |
| Differential Resistance | 30 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Max Power Dissipation | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets continuous DC power limit on standard FR4 layout |
| Non-repetitive Peak Current | 215 A at tp = 100 µs - supports ESD/overvoltage transient suppression without failure |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 2.0 µA max at VR = 4.5 V - ensures low standby power loss in always-on monitoring nodes |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - enables predictable thermal rise during pulsed operation when mounted per recommended footprint |
Pinout & Package
The BZX585-B6V8,135 is housed in an ultra-small SOD523 (SC-79) plastic surface-mount package measuring 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm × 0.65 mm, with a cathode band marking on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marker (bar) aligns with cathode for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact SOD523 footprint | Enables placement in high-density layouts where board space is constrained to <1.1 mm² |
| Low differential resistance | 30 Ω typ. minimizes voltage deviation under ±1 mA load changes in reference circuits |
| Controlled temperature coefficient | +1.2 to +3.0 mV/K allows predictable drift compensation in ambient-varying environments |
| High surge robustness | Withstands 40 W non-repetitive pulses-supports IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD protection without external TVS |
| Low leakage at sub-Zener voltage | 2.0 µA max at 4.5 V ensures negligible current draw in sleep-mode microcontroller reset circuits |
Applications

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX585-B6V8,135?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per limiting values table. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; sustained forward bias risks exceeding junction temperature limits due to low thermal resistance design optimized for reverse breakdown. Use only in reverse-biased regulation or clamping roles.
Can BZX585-B6V8,135 replace a 6.2 V Zener in an existing circuit?
No-its 6.66 V to 6.94 V working voltage range at 5 mA is incompatible with 6.2 V circuits. Substituting would raise regulated voltage by ~0.6 V, potentially violating downstream IC input tolerances or altering bias points in analog stages. Always verify Zener voltage match before replacement.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance compared to SOD-123?
SOD523's smaller size yields higher thermal resistance: 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point versus ~200 K/W for SOD-123 in equivalent mounting. This means faster junction temperature rise under same power-requiring stricter attention to copper area and pulse duty cycle to avoid exceeding 150 °C max junction temperature.
Is BZX585-B6V8,135 suitable for automotive applications?
No-it is not AEC-Q200 qualified or tested for automotive temperature cycling, humidity, or vibration requirements. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in legal disclaimers; use only in commercial or industrial environments with ambient temperatures between −65 °C and +150 °C.
