Product details
Overview
BZX585-B8V2,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 8.2 V nominal regulation voltage 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 space-constrained consumer and industrial power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B8V2,115 datasheet, BZX585-B8V2,115 pinout, BZX585-B8V2,115 application, or BZX585-B8V2,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8.2 V Zener voltage tolerance, low 40 Ω typical differential resistance at 5 mA, −1.9 mV/K temperature coefficient, and ultra-small SOD523 footprint for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or input conditions. Its design targets low-leakage, low-capacitance operation with 0.7 µA maximum reverse current at 6.6 V and 150 pF diode capacitance at 0 V.
The device features a negative temperature coefficient of −1.9 mV/K at 5 mA, enabling predictable thermal drift compensation in reference circuits. Its SOD523 package delivers 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance when mounted on FR4 with 35 mm² copper area at the cathode tab.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.04 V to 8.36 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation range for precision biasing |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 20 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −1.9 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - enables predictable thermal drift correction in reference designs |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets continuous operating limit on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs - supports transient surge suppression in protection circuits |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.7 µA max. at VR = 6.6 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or battery-powered modes |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max. at IF = 100 mA - confirms low conduction loss if used in forward-biased configurations |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-B8V2,115?
The device supports up to 200 mA forward current, but as a Zener diode, its continuous reverse (Zener) current is limited by power dissipation. At 25 °C ambient on FR4 with 35 mm² copper, the maximum continuous Zener current is 36.6 mA (300 mW ÷ 8.2 V), derated above 25 °C per 350 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Can BZX585-B8V2,115 be used in place of a 5.1 V Zener diode?
No-BZX585-B8V2,115 is specified for 8.2 V nominal Zener voltage with ±2 % tolerance (8.04–8.36 V). Substituting it for a 5.1 V Zener would result in incorrect regulation level and potential circuit malfunction. Use BZX585-B5V1,115 for 5.1 V applications.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance?
The SOD523 package has a junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 65 K/W, significantly lower than junction-to-ambient (350 K/W). Effective heat transfer requires direct copper connection to the cathode pad; thermal relief traces or small pads degrade performance and risk exceeding 150 °C junction temperature at full power.
Is BZX585-B8V2,115 suitable for automotive applications?
No-this part is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products like BZX585-B8V2,115 are unsuitable for safety-critical or automotive use. For automotive systems, select AEC-Q200 qualified Zeners such as PZMxx series with appropriate qualification documentation.
