Product details
Overview
BZX585-C2V7,115 from Nexperia is a 2.7 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-C2V7,115 datasheet, BZX585-C2V7,115 pinout, BZX585-C2V7,115 application, or BZX585-C2V7,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), differential resistance (≤450 Ω at IZ = 1 mA), thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder point), and ultra-small SOD523 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 2.7 V across its terminals under regulated current conditions (IZ = 1–5 mA), with low forward voltage (1.1 V at IF = 100 mA) enabling bidirectional protection. Its temperature coefficient of −1.4 mV/K (typical at IZ = 5 mA) ensures predictable drift in ambient-temperature-varying circuits.
The device features low differential resistance (300–450 Ω) and reverse current <1.0 µA at VR = 1 V, supporting accurate voltage referencing in low-power sensor biasing and ADC reference stabilization. It is not intended for continuous high-current regulation but optimized for transient suppression and precision clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.7 V nominal, 2.57–2.84 V range at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 3.3 V rail protection |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - enables cost-effective selection where tight regulation is required without premium ±2 % grade |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 450 Ω max at IZ = 1 mA - limits output impedance impact on reference stability under light load |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper - sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - supports ESD and surge pulse absorption in I/O protection |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - enables effective thermal coupling to PCB copper for transient power dissipation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤1.0 µA at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal leakage in battery-powered standby 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.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction during Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact SOD523 footprint | Enables placement in <1.5 mm² board area - critical for wearables and miniaturized IoT nodes |
| Low differential resistance | 450 Ω max at 1 mA - improves regulation accuracy under varying load currents in reference circuits |
| Controlled temperature coefficient | −1.4 mV/K typical - allows predictable compensation in temperature-sensitive analog front-ends |
| High surge robustness | 40 W non-repetitive peak power - absorbs IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD events without degradation |
| Low leakage current | ≤1.0 µA at 1 V reverse bias - preserves battery life in always-on sensor monitoring applications |
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-B2V7,115 | ±2 % tolerance (2.65–2.75 V), higher cost, tighter rdiff (300 Ω max) | Better for high-accuracy references where 10 mV variation is unacceptable | Select when absolute voltage precision outweighs cost sensitivity |
| MMSZ4678T1G | 2.7 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm), 500 mW Ptot, higher thermal resistance | Higher power handling but 2.3× larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Choose when board space permits and higher continuous dissipation is needed |
Compared with BZX585-C2V7,115, the BZX585-B2V7,115 offers tighter voltage control at the expense of cost and availability, while MMSZ4678T1G trades miniaturization for thermal margin-making the C-grade optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs requiring verified ±5 % performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-C2V7,115?
The device has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; instead, it is limited by total power dissipation (300 mW at 25 °C). At 2.7 V, this corresponds to ~111 mA average Zener current. Exceeding this causes junction temperature rise beyond 150 °C, risking permanent degradation.
Can BZX585-C2V7,115 be used in series for higher voltage regulation?
No - the BZX585-C2V7,115 is not characterized or tested for series operation. Variations in Zener voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient between units cause uneven voltage sharing, leading to thermal runaway in one device. Use single-device solutions or purpose-designed multi-Zener arrays.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOD523 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020. Recommended peak temperature is 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, with ramp rates ≤3 °C/s. The cathode tab provides primary thermal path; ensure solder land design matches Nexperia's Fig. 12 footprint (1.4 × 0.4 mm pads).
How does the −1.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
At 2.7 V nominal, a −1.4 mV/K coefficient means voltage decreases ~14 mV over a 10 K ambient rise (e.g., 25 °C → 35 °C). In reset circuits, this shifts trip point downward; in references, it introduces predictable linear drift that can be compensated in firmware or analog signal conditioning stages.
