Product details
Overview
BZX585-C13,135 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 13 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 clamping in low-power sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C13,135 datasheet, BZX585-C13,135 pinout, BZX585-C13,135 application, or BZX585-C13,135 equivalent, this device supports stable 13 V regulation under 5 mA test current with 25 Ω typical differential resistance, low 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 10.4 V, and thermal resistance of 65 K/W to solder point-key for compact PCB designs requiring tight voltage tolerance and surge resilience.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified 13 V nominal Zener voltage (VZ) at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +7.0 mV/K at that current-enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. Its low 25 Ω typical differential resistance (rdiff) ensures minimal output impedance variation across load changes.
The device sustains 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power (PZSM) for 100 µs square-wave surges at Tj = 25 °C, while maintaining 300 mW steady-state dissipation on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper area-making it suitable for transient suppression in space-constrained DC rails.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-B13,115 | ±2 % tolerance (12.74–13.26 V), higher cost, tighter rdiff (25 Ω typ. vs. 25 Ω) | Required where 10 mV regulation window is mandatory for analog sensor calibration | Select when absolute voltage accuracy outweighs cost sensitivity and board space constraints |

Compared with BZX585-C13,135, the BZX585-B13,115 offers tighter voltage control at the expense of unit cost, while MMSZ5243B-7-F trades miniaturization for higher power handling-making the C13 optimal for space-constrained, cost-sensitive 13 V reference designs needing proven surge resilience.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX585-C13,135?
The rated Zener voltage is 13 V nominal at 5 mA test current, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 12.35 V and 13.65 V respectively under those conditions. Breakdown begins gradually above ~10.4 V (where reverse current reaches 0.1 µA), but stable regulation occurs only within the specified VZ band at defined IZ.
Can BZX585-C13,135 be used in place of a 12 V Zener diode?
No-it is not a drop-in replacement for 12 V Zeners due to its 13 V nominal rating and ±5 % tolerance (12.35–13.65 V range). Substituting it for a 12 V part would raise regulated voltage by ≥0.35 V minimum, potentially exceeding downstream IC absolute maximum ratings or altering feedback loop setpoints.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance?
The SOD523 package delivers Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W to the cathode solder point, enabling effective heat transfer to PCB copper. However, its small size limits steady-state power handling to 300 mW on standard FR4-so thermal design must prioritize cathode-side copper area and avoid encapsulation that impedes convection.
Is BZX585-C13,135 suitable for automotive applications?
No-this device is not AEC-Q200 qualified and lacks automotive-grade screening, temperature cycling validation, or extended lifetime testing. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in its legal disclaimers; use in body control modules or infotainment systems requires formal automotive-qualified alternatives.
