Product details
Overview
BZX585-C30,115 from Nexperia is a 30 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 signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C30,115 datasheet, BZX585-C30,115 pinout, BZX585-C30,115 application, or BZX585-C30,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), differential resistance (70 Ω at IZ = 2 mA), thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder point), and ultra-small SMD footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 30 V regulation across load and line variations, with temperature coefficient of +24.4 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA - indicating positive drift optimized for mid-range voltage references. Its low 70 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal output impedance under dynamic current changes.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR4 PCBs with ≥35 mm² copper area at cathode tab, it achieves Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W and supports surge handling up to 1 A (100 µs square wave) without degradation, enabling robust transient suppression in sensor front-ends and power rail monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance (28.5 V to 31.5 V) - defines precise clamping threshold for 3.3 V/5 V system rails. |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 70 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - ensures <140 mV output variation per 2 mA load change, critical for stable biasing. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² Cu - sets continuous DC regulation limit in compact layouts. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 µs square wave - enables single-event ESD/transient suppression without failure. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 22.5 V - guarantees negligible leakage in high-impedance reference nodes. |
| Junction-to-Solder Point Thermal Resistance | 65 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead plastic package: 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm body, 0.65 mm height, cathode marked by band on terminal 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct orientation during placement. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction enabling Zener conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact SMD footprint | SOD523 (1.25 × 0.85 mm) enables routing in 0.4 mm pitch designs and reduces board area by >50 % vs. SOD323. |
| Low differential resistance | 70 Ω at 2 mA ensures tight voltage regulation under varying load conditions in precision analog stages. |
| Controlled temperature coefficient | +24.4 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA provides predictable, moderate positive drift for compensated reference designs. |
| High surge robustness | Withstands 1 A non-repetitive peak reverse current (100 µs) - suitable for IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD protection. |
Applications
| Power Supply Rail Clamping | Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-B30,115 | ±2 % tolerance (29.4–30.6 V) vs. ±5 %; 60 Ω rdiff at 5 mA | Tighter regulation required in metrology-grade references where 0.6 V window is unacceptable | Select when absolute voltage accuracy outweighs cost sensitivity and board space constraints |
| MMSZ5257ET1G | SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm); 30 V ±5 %; 100 Ω rdiff at 20 mA | Higher power handling (500 mW) but larger footprint and higher impedance limits use in low-current references | Choose for legacy designs requiring backward-compatible footprints or higher continuous dissipation |
Compared with BZX585-C30,115, the BZX585-B30,115 offers tighter voltage control at the expense of slightly higher cost, while MMSZ5257ET1G trades miniaturization for greater thermal margin and relaxed layout density requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for BZX585-C30,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per limiting values table. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; sustained forward bias above 1.1 V at 100 mA risks thermal overstress due to 300 mW total power limit and 350 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Can BZX585-C30,115 be used in place of a 24 V Zener diode?
No - its nominal Zener voltage is 30 V with ±5 % tolerance (28.5–31.5 V range). Substituting it for a 24 V device would raise clamping threshold by ≥4.5 V, potentially exposing downstream circuitry to damaging overvoltage during transients.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance compared to SOD323?
SOD523 has higher thermal resistance: Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W vs. ~50 K/W for SOD323. This requires stricter attention to copper pour area at the cathode pad (≥35 mm² recommended) to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C under 300 mW dissipation.
Is BZX585-C30,115 suitable for automotive applications?
No - this device is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in legal disclaimers, and the datasheet lacks automotive-specific stress testing, PPAP documentation, or extended temperature validation beyond −65 °C to +150 °C ambient.
