Product details
Overview
BZX585-C24,115 from Nexperia is a 24 V ±5 % Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in low-power analog circuits and microcontroller I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C24,115 datasheet, BZX585-C24,115 pinout, BZX585-C24,115 application, or BZX585-C24,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, differential resistance, thermal resistance, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and real-world regulation use cases - all confirmed from Nexperia's official Rev. 8 product data sheet dated 6 August 2026.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a typical differential resistance of 60 Ω and a temperature coefficient of +18.4 mV/K at 5 mA, enabling stable voltage reference across ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C.
Its ultra-small SOD523 package features a thermal resistance of 65 K/W from junction to solder point, supporting reliable operation under transient surges up to 100 µs duration and 40 W peak power, while maintaining <0.05 µA reverse leakage at 19.2 V (0.8 × VZ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.8 V to 25.2 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance band for reference design |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 60 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +18.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal stability analysis |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper - sets continuous DC power limit in standard layout |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - enables short-duration surge suppression without failure |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - critical for thermal design when mounting on high-current PCB traces or ground planes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤ 0.05 µA at VR = 19.2 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby voltage-monitoring circuits |
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 PCB layouts and reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marker aligns with PCB silkscreen bar for automated assembly verification |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction during Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Differential Resistance | 60 Ω typical at 5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load current changes |
| High Surge Withstand | 40 W non-repetitive peak power - protects downstream circuitry from ESD and transient overvoltage events |
| Precision Voltage Tolerance | ±5 % at 24 V nominal - supports cost-sensitive designs requiring tighter regulation than ±10 % alternatives |
| Ultra-Small Footprint | SOD523 (1.25 × 0.85 mm) - enables placement in space-constrained locations near IC power pins or signal lines |
| Low Thermal Resistance | 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point - improves power handling in thermally isolated PCB regions |
Applications
| Microcontroller I/O Protection | Low-Power Sensor Reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-B24,115 | ±2 % tolerance (23.5–24.5 V) vs. ±5 % (22.8–25.2 V); identical package, power ratings, and rdiff | Required where tighter voltage accuracy is needed for calibration-critical references | Select BZX585-B24,115 when system-level tolerance budget demands <±0.5 V deviation at 24 V nominal |
| MMSZ5249B-7-F | 24 V ±5 % in SOD-123; higher Ptot = 500 mW but larger footprint (3.5 × 1.6 mm) and rdiff = 35 Ω | Better thermal performance in high-ambient environments but incompatible with ultra-dense layouts | Choose MMSZ5249B-7-F only if board space allows larger package and >300 mW continuous dissipation is required |
Compared with BZX585-C24,115, the BZX585-B24,115 offers tighter voltage control at identical size and surge capability, while MMSZ5249B-7-F trades miniaturization for higher steady-state power handling - making the C-grade optimal for space-constrained, cost-sensitive 24 V clamping where ±5 % is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-C24,115 at 25 °C?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA, but for Zener operation, the recommended continuous reverse current is limited by power dissipation: at 24 V, 300 mW allows up to 12.5 mA (300 mW ÷ 24 V) with adequate PCB copper area. Exceeding this risks junction overheating beyond 150 °C.
How does the cathode marking appear on the SOD523 package?
The cathode is indicated by a visible bar on the top surface of the SOD523 package, aligned with Pin 1 per Nexperia's package outline drawing (Fig. 11). This matches the "K" designation in Table 2 and ensures correct orientation during automated pick-and-place assembly.
Can BZX585-C24,115 be used in place of a 24 V Zener with ±2 % tolerance?
No - BZX585-C24,115 has ±5 % tolerance (22.8–25.2 V), whereas ±2 % parts like BZX585-B24,115 specify 23.5–24.5 V. Substituting without circuit validation may cause out-of-spec bias points or reduced noise margin in precision references.
What is the typical reverse leakage current at 80 % of nominal Zener voltage?
At VR = 19.2 V (80 % of 24 V), reverse leakage is ≤0.05 µA per Table 8. This ultra-low value ensures negligible loading on high-impedance nodes such as op-amp inputs or microcontroller wake-up comparators.
