Product details
Overview
BZX585-C11,115 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 11 V nominal regulation voltage at 5 mA, 300 mW total power dissipation, and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power handling - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in low-power sensor interfaces and microcontroller I/O protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C11,115 datasheet, BZX585-C11,115 pinout, BZX585-C11,115 application, or BZX585-C11,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, differential resistance at 5 mA, thermal resistance to solder point, cathode-marked SOD523 footprint compatibility, and transient surge capability under 100 µs square-wave conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a specified nominal Zener voltage of 11 V at test current IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a typical differential resistance of 25 Ω and temperature coefficient of +5.4 mV/K across its operating range. Its low 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance enables stable regulation in thermally constrained PCB layouts.
The device supports fast transient suppression via 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation (tp = 100 µs, square wave), while maintaining ≤ 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 8.8 V and forward voltage ≤ 1.1 V at 100 mA - enabling dual-role use as both regulator and ESD clamp in space-limited analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.45 V to 11.55 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 3.3 V/5 V rail monitoring and reference buffering |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 25 Ω (typ) at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation in feedback networks |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² copper - sets continuous DC bias limit for passive regulation stages |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - enables single-event surge clamping without thermal runaway |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for reliable power cycling in industrial sensors |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤ 0.1 µA at VR = 8.8 V - guarantees negligible quiescent current draw in battery-powered voltage monitors |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤ 1.1 V at IF = 100 mA - supports bidirectional clamping function when forward-biased during transients |
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; optimized for high-density routing and reflow-compatible land pattern per Figure 12.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal - must be routed to higher-potential side in shunt regulation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; forms current path during Zener conduction and forward conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables cost-effective voltage referencing where tighter tolerance is unnecessary - e.g., non-critical supply supervision |
| Low 25 Ω differential resistance | Maintains regulation accuracy within ±0.125 V under ±5 mA load change - suitable for ADC reference buffers |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge rating | Clamps ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) without degradation when used with series current-limiting resistor |
| 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point Rth | Permits sustained 200 mA forward current or 30 mA Zener current without exceeding 150 °C junction temperature on standard PCB |
| SOD523 footprint compatibility | Matches industry-standard SC-79 land pattern - eliminates need for custom stencil or placement adjustments in high-volume assembly |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Microcontroller I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing excitation voltage for resistive bridge sensors in PLC analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt Zener regulator providing 11 V reference to op-amp excitation stage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-B11,115 | ±2 % VZ tolerance (vs. ±5 %); otherwise identical package, power ratings, and thermal specs | Required where tighter regulation stability needed - e.g., precision ADC references or calibration circuits | Select when VZ accuracy > 2 % is mandatory; pay premium for tighter tolerance without changing layout or thermal design |
| MMSZ5240B-7-F | Same 11 V nominal, but SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, 30 Ω rdiff, ±5 % tolerance | Used where higher continuous power or legacy footprint compatibility is prioritized over board space | Choose when thermal margin > 300 mW is required or existing SOD-123 land patterns exist - adds 2.5× board area vs. SOD523 |
Compared with BZX585-C11,115, the BZX585-B11,115 improves voltage accuracy at no thermal or layout cost, while MMSZ5240B-7-F trades miniaturization for higher power headroom and larger footprint - making each optimal for distinct trade-offs between precision, size, and thermal capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZX585-C11,115 at 70 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 70 °C, derating applies: Ptot = 300 mW − (70 − 25) °C × (300 mW / (150 − 25) °C) = 192 mW. With VZ ≈ 11 V, max continuous IZ = 192 mW / 11 V ≈ 17.5 mA - verified from thermal resistance data and absolute maximum ratings table.
Can BZX585-C11,115 be used in series for higher voltage regulation?
No - Zener diodes in series exhibit mismatched temperature coefficients and dynamic impedance, causing unstable combined regulation. The BZX585-C11,115 is designed for single-device shunt operation; higher voltages require dedicated multi-Zener arrays or active regulators.
Is the cathode marking bar visible under standard optical inspection?
Yes - the cathode bar is laser-marked on the top surface of the SOD523 package and is clearly identifiable using 10× magnification or automated AOI systems, matching JEDEC SC-79 orientation standards for automated placement verification.
Does BZX585-C11,115 meet RoHS and REACH compliance?
Yes - per Nexperia's official product declaration, BZX585-C11,115 is RoHS-compliant (2011/65/EU) and REACH-conformant (EC 1907/2006), with lead-free matte tin termination and halogen-free molding compound, documented in the manufacturer's compliance portal.
