Product details
Overview
BZX585-B7V5,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 7.5 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 300 mW total power dissipation and 15 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B7V5,115 datasheet, BZX585-B7V5,115 pinout, BZX585-B7V5,115 application, or BZX585-B7V5,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W), non-repetitive surge capability (40 W @ 100 µs), and cathode-marked SOD523 footprint compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 7.5 V across its terminals when biased above VZ with ≥1 mA current. Its temperature coefficient of +2.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA enables predictable drift compensation in bias networks.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with ≥35 mm² copper at the cathode tab, it achieves Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W (free air) and Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W (solder point), supporting reliable operation up to Tj = 150 °C under pulsed or continuous DC conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.35 V to 7.65 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures ±2 % regulation accuracy for low-power reference nodes |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 15 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +2.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - enables predictable positive drift for thermal compensation design |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² cathode copper - defines continuous DC thermal limit |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs, square wave - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max at IF = 100 mA - confirms low-loss forward conduction for polarity-sensitive protection |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - qualifies for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead plastic package: 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm body, 0.65 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface; designed for reflow soldering with standardized footprint per Figure 12.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries reverse breakdown current |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter regulation than ±5 % variants, reducing need for post-regulation trimming in precision analog supplies |
| Low 15 Ω differential resistance | Minimizes output impedance shift across 1–10 mA operating range, improving line/load regulation stability |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge rating | Withstands ESD and inductive kick transients without degradation when used with series current limiting |
| Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W | Enables efficient heat transfer from junction to solder joint, supporting higher pulse duty cycles on compact PCBs |
| SOD523 footprint compatibility | Matches industry-standard SC-79 land pattern, allowing drop-in replacement in high-density portable designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-C7V5 | ±5 % tolerance (7.13–7.88 V), higher rdiff (20 Ω typ.), same package and PZSM | Acceptable where reference accuracy < ±3 % suffices; less suitable for precision biasing | Select for cost-sensitive designs where tighter VZ tolerance is unnecessary |
| MMSZ5236B-7-F | ±5 % tolerance (7.14–7.86 V), SOD-123 package (larger), 500 mW Ptot, rdiff = 10 Ω typ. | Higher power handling but incompatible footprint; requires PCB redesign | Choose only when board layout allows larger package and higher continuous dissipation is required |
Compared with BZX585-C7V5, the BZX585-B7V5,115 delivers tighter regulation and lower dynamic impedance for precision references; versus MMSZ5236B-7-F, it trades power margin for ultra-compact size and thermal efficiency in space-limited layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-B7V5,115 at 25 °C ambient?
The device supports up to 40 mA continuous reverse current at 25 °C ambient when mounted on an FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper at the cathode tab, derived from its 300 mW total power dissipation rating and 7.5 V Zener voltage (Ptot/VZ ≈ 40 mA). Exceeding this requires derating per thermal resistance curves.
How does the +2.5 mV/K temperature coefficient affect long-term stability in a 50 °C ambient environment?
At a 25 °C to 50 °C ambient rise, the Zener voltage increases by approximately +62.5 mV (25 K × 2.5 mV/K), shifting nominal 7.5 V to ~7.562 V. This predictable positive drift enables firmware-based calibration or passive compensation using NTC thermistors in high-stability reference designs.
Can BZX585-B7V5,115 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients at low currents and positive ones at higher currents, causing current hogging and thermal runaway when paralleled. For higher power, use a single higher-rated device or active regulation instead of parallel Zeners.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard automated optical inspection (AOI) systems?
Yes - the SOD523 package features a visible cathode marking bar and consistent 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm outline, meeting IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 requirements for AOI detectability. Its flat-lead geometry and solder joint contrast support reliable automated defect detection in high-volume SMT lines.
