Product details
Overview
BZX585-C11,135 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 11 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power handling. It delivers low differential resistance (25 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA) and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, supporting precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C11,135 datasheet, BZX585-C11,135 pinout, BZX585-C11,135 application, or BZX585-C11,135 equivalent, this device serves as a compact, thermally efficient Zener solution where tight voltage tolerance, low dynamic impedance, and ultra-small footprint are required in portable electronics, sensor signal conditioning, and microcontroller I/O protection circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified nominal Zener voltage of 11 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a typical temperature coefficient of +5.4 mV/K and reverse current ≤ 0.1 µA at 8.8 V. Its thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 65 K/W, enabling stable regulation under transient surge conditions when mounted on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper area at the cathode tab.
The device features a low forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 100 mA and maintains differential resistance below 25 Ω (typ.) and 150 Ω (max) at 5 mA, ensuring minimal output voltage variation under load changes. Its non-repetitive peak reverse current capability reaches 2.5 A for 100 µs square-wave pulses at 25 °C ambient.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX585-C11,135 can sustain at 25 °C ambient?
The device has no defined maximum continuous reverse current rating; instead, its DC power limit is governed by Ptot = 300 mW. At 11 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum average reverse current of 27.3 mA (300 mW ÷ 11 V), assuming negligible forward drop and ideal thermal conditions on FR4 with 35 mm² copper.
Can the BZX585-C11,135 be used in series or parallel configurations for higher voltage or current handling?
Series connection is viable for higher voltage references but requires matched units to avoid uneven voltage distribution due to Zener voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient variance. Parallel use is not recommended - mismatched rdiff and VZ cause current hogging and thermal runaway, even with ballast resistors.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance compared to larger Zener packages like SOD-123?
The SOD523 package exhibits higher thermal resistance: Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W (free air) and Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W (to solder point), versus ~200 K/W and ~40 K/W for SOD-123. This limits continuous power handling but remains sufficient for pulsed or low-duty-cycle regulation when PCB copper area is optimized at the cathode pad.
Is the BZX585-C11,135 suitable for automotive applications per AEC-Q200?
No - the BZX585-C11,135 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products are unsuitable for automotive use. For automotive-grade Zeners, select the BZX84-Axx or PZMxx series, which undergo extended temperature cycling, humidity testing, and qualification per AEC-Q200 Rev D.
