Product details
Overview
BZX585-C10,135 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 10 V nominal regulation voltage, 300 mW total power dissipation, and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power at 100 µs pulse width - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained consumer and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C10,135 datasheet, BZX585-C10,135 pinout, BZX585-C10,135 application, or BZX585-C10,135 equivalent, this device serves as a low-profile, low-capacitance (≤0.2 pF at VR = 0 V) Zener regulator with 10 V ±5 % tolerance, 20 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, and thermal resistance of 65 K/W from junction to solder point - critical for stable biasing in portable sensor interfaces and USB-powered peripherals.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 10 V reference across its cathode-anode terminals under controlled current conditions. It exhibits a temperature coefficient of +4.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA and maintains regulation within ±5 % tolerance over ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C.
The device supports pulsed surge handling up to 40 W for 100 µs square-wave transients and delivers ≤0.2 µA reverse leakage at VR = 8 V, enabling reliable clamping in low-power microcontroller reset circuits and ADC reference stabilization without loading sensitive analog nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 10 V ±5 % - ensures predictable regulation threshold for 3.3 V/5 V system rail monitoring and brown-out detection. |
| Total Power Dissipation | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper - defines continuous DC bias capability in compact PCB layouts. |
| Differential Resistance | 20 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity in feedback paths. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - enables transient overvoltage suppression without thermal runaway during ESD or inductive switching events. |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤0.2 µA at VR = 8 V - minimizes quiescent current draw in battery-backed circuits and high-impedance sensing nodes. |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - allows accurate thermal modeling when mounted on standard SMD pads with cathode tab connection. |
| Diode Capacitance | ≤0.2 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - preserves signal integrity in RF-coupled or high-speed digital enable lines. |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead surface-mount package: 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm body, 0.65 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marker aligns with PCB silkscreen bar for automated optical inspection. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or current-limiting resistor; requires minimum 0.5 mm solder land per JEDEC SOT523 footprint. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-profile SMD package | SOD523 footprint (1.25 × 0.85 mm) enables placement in <1.0 mm pitch routing zones on dense IoT PCBs. |
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±5 % at 10 V allows direct use in 3.3 V LDO enable thresholds and MCU VREF calibration without trimming resistors. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | ≤0.2 pF prevents signal distortion in 100+ MHz clock distribution networks and RF front-end bias lines. |
| Controlled thermal path | 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point resistance enables accurate thermal simulation for lifetime prediction in sealed enclosures. |
| Pulse surge robustness | 40 W non-repetitive rating supports IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD protection without external TVS cascading. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-C10,135 at 25 °C?
The device supports a maximum continuous forward current of 200 mA, but for Zener operation, the recommended DC test current is 5 mA. At this condition, the Zener voltage is 10 V ±5 %, and power dissipation remains within the 300 mW limit. Exceeding 5 mA continuously increases self-heating and may shift regulation voltage due to temperature coefficient effects.
Can BZX585-C10,135 be used in place of a 1N4740A?
No - the 1N4740A is a through-hole DO-41 device rated for 10 V ±5 % but with 1 W power dissipation and 17 Ω differential resistance. BZX585-C10,135 has identical voltage spec but only 300 mW rating and 20 Ω rdiff, making it unsuitable for high-current linear regulator applications. It is designed for low-power SMD use only.
How does the cathode marking appear on the SOD523 package?
A single black bar is printed on the top surface adjacent to pin 1 (cathode), aligned parallel to the long edge of the 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm body. This matches JEDEC SOT523 outline and is verified in Figure 11 of the datasheet Rev. 8. The bar is detectable by AOI systems with ≥10 µm resolution.
Is BZX585-C10,135 qualified for automotive applications?
No - the BZX585 series is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Its datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" in Section 14, and no automotive stress testing or qualification data is provided. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends the PZUxxB2 series, which carries AEC-Q200 Grade 1 certification.
