Product details
Overview
BZX585-C3V0,115 from Nexperia is a 3.0 V ±5 % Zener voltage regulator diode in an SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small surface-mount 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-C3V0,115 datasheet, BZX585-C3V0,115 pinout, BZX585-C3V0,115 application, or BZX585-C3V0,115 equivalent, this device supports stable 3.0 V regulation at 5 mA test current with 325 Ω typical differential resistance, −1.6 mV/K temperature coefficient, and 10 µA max reverse leakage at 2.28 V, enabling accurate voltage referencing in battery-powered sensor nodes and USB peripheral protection circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 3.0 V reference across its cathode–anode terminals under controlled current conditions. Its SC-79 package enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining thermal resistance of 65 K/W from junction to solder point.
The device exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 3.0 V at IZ = 5 mA, with guaranteed limits of 2.85 V (min) and 3.15 V (max), and a temperature coefficient of −1.6 mV/K - indicating predictable, slightly negative drift over temperature for stable low-voltage biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.0 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; ensures precise 2.85–3.15 V regulation window for low-voltage reference circuits |
| Tolerance | ±5 %; allows predictable voltage margining in cost-sensitive designs without tight binning |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 325 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA; defines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −1.6 mV/K; enables predictable voltage drift compensation in ambient-temperature-varying applications |
| 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 transient surge suppression in ESD-coupled interfaces |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 10 µA max at VR = 2.28 V; guarantees low standby leakage in always-on voltage monitor paths |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead surface-mount plastic package: 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm footprint, 0.65 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marking bar aligns with this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased operation requires anode at lower voltage than cathode |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX585-C3V0,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per the limiting values table. However, forward conduction is not the intended operating mode; the device is designed for reverse-bias Zener regulation. Forward voltage is specified at 1.1 V max for 100 mA pulse testing, but sustained forward current should be avoided to prevent degradation.
Can BZX585-C3V0,115 be used as a replacement for older BZX55 or BZX79 series Zeners?
No - BZX585-C3V0,115 uses the SOD523 package with different thermal and mechanical characteristics. While electrical parameters overlap, the smaller footprint and lower thermal mass require updated PCB layout and thermal design. Direct substitution without validation may cause overheating or solder joint reliability issues.
What is the meaning of the 'C' in BZX585-C3V0,115?
The 'C' denotes the ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance grade, distinguishing it from 'B' grade parts (±2 %). The full marking code 'F3' corresponds to BZX585-C3V0 per Table 4, and '115' indicates tape-and-reel packaging per Nexperia's ordering convention.
How does the −1.6 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
A −1.6 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage decreases by approximately 0.16 V over a 100 °C rise in junction temperature. This predictable drift allows designers to compensate in reference circuits or select operating points where drift remains within system tolerance - e.g., maintaining <0.5 % error from 25 °C to 70 °C.
