Product details
Overview
BZX585-C2V4,135 from Nexperia is a 2.4 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 low-voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained consumer and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C2V4,135 datasheet, BZX585-C2V4,135 pinout, BZX585-C2V4,135 application, or BZX585-C2V4,135 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), differential resistance (275 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder point), and SC-79 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 2.4 V regulation across 1–5 mA test currents, with a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 to −1.3 mV/K ensuring predictable drift under thermal variation. Its low 275 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA supports tight regulation under dynamic load changes.
The device features ultra-small SOD523 packaging with cathode-marked anisotropic leadframe, enabling surface-mount assembly on FR4 PCBs with ≥35 mm² copper area at the cathode tab for thermal management. It withstands 40 W non-repetitive surge pulses (tp = 100 µs, square wave) at 25 °C ambient prior to surge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.28 V to 2.52 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with ±5 % tolerance for stable low-voltage reference generation |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 275 Ω (typ) at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 50 µA at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal leakage before breakdown, critical for low-power standby circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² cathode copper - sets continuous thermal limit for PCB-level power handling |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 65 K/W - quantifies heat transfer efficiency from die to PCB solder joint, enabling accurate thermal design |
| Non-Repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - defines transient surge immunity for ESD and inductive spike suppression |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V at IF = 100 mA - specifies conduction loss when used as forward-biased clamp or protection element |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead plastic package with 2 terminals, 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm body size, 0.65 mm height, and cathode band marking on terminal 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marked by bar on package; carries reverse breakdown current during regulation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact SOD523 footprint | Enables placement in <1.1 mm² board area, supporting miniaturized wearables and IoT sensor nodes |
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Guarantees 2.28–2.52 V regulation window at 5 mA, suitable for cost-sensitive voltage reference applications |
| Low 275 Ω differential resistance | Minimizes output voltage deviation under ±1 mA load current change, improving regulation accuracy |
| 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point Rth | Allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, simplifying thermal design without external heatsinking |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge rating | Provides robust transient protection against 100 µs ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 without derating |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-B2V4,135 | ±2 % Zener tolerance (2.35–2.45 V) vs. ±5 %; otherwise identical electrical specs and package | Preferred where tighter regulation stability is required, e.g., precision ADC references | Select BZX585-B2V4,135 only if ±2 % tolerance is mandatory; BZX585-C2V4,135 offers better cost-performance balance for general-purpose use |
| MMSZ4678T1G | 2.4 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, higher rdiff (350 Ω) | Used where larger footprint is acceptable and higher power dissipation is needed | Choose MMSZ4678T1G only if board layout allows SOD-123 and >300 mW continuous dissipation is required |
Compared with BZX585-B2V4,135, the C-grade offers relaxed tolerance at lower cost without sacrificing surge capability or thermal performance; versus MMSZ4678T1G, it delivers identical regulation in half the board area but with reduced absolute power headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this diode can handle?
The BZX585-C2V4,135 has a maximum continuous forward current (IF) of 200 mA, but its Zener operation relies on controlled reverse current. At 25 °C ambient on FR4 with 35 mm² cathode copper, it sustains up to ~125 mA reverse current continuously without exceeding 300 mW Ptot, calculated as VZ × IZ ≤ 300 mW → IZ ≤ 125 mA.
Can this diode be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and parameter spread; paralleling BZX585-C2V4,135 units causes current hogging and thermal runaway. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or active regulation. The 40 W surge rating applies only to individual devices under specified pulse conditions.
How does the cathode marking align with the SOD523 package outline?
The cathode is marked by a visible bar on the top surface of the SOD523 package, aligned with terminal 1 per Nexperia's package drawing (Fig. 11). When viewed from above with the marking bar leftmost, terminal 1 (cathode) is the left pad and terminal 2 (anode) is the right pad - confirmed in Table 2 and Figure 11 of the datasheet.
Is this part suitable for automotive applications?
No - the BZX585-C2V4,135 is not AEC-Q200 qualified and lacks automotive-grade screening, temperature range validation (−40 °C to +150 °C junction), or PPAP documentation. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in Section 14; use only in commercial/industrial environments per its specified −65 °C to +150 °C storage and operating ranges.
