Product details
Overview
BZX585-C3V3,135 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V ±5 % Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small SMD package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, used for precision low-voltage regulation in space-constrained consumer and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C3V3,135 datasheet, BZX585-C3V3,135 pinout, BZX585-C3V3,135 application, or BZX585-C3V3,135 equivalent, this device supports stable 3.3 V reference generation, overvoltage clamping in I/O protection circuits, and biasing in low-current analog stages where thermal resistance to solder point (65 K/W) and differential resistance ≤500 Ω at 5 mA are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −1.8 mV/K and reverse current ≤5.0 µA at 2.5 V. Its low 350 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in free air enables reliable operation in thermally unmanaged PCB layouts.
The device features a cathode-marked SOD523 package with two terminals, optimized for reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020, and maintains stable regulation across ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C with a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.14 V to 3.47 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise 3.3 V regulation window under standard test conditions |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - allows predictable voltage deviation for cost-sensitive reference and clamp applications |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | ≤500 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² copper - sets continuous DC power handling limit |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - enables transient surge suppression without failure |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V at IF = 100 mA - defines forward conduction loss in series protection configurations |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 65 K/W - quantifies thermal path efficiency from die to PCB copper, critical for pulsed-power reliability |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead surface-mount plastic package with cathode band marking; dimensions: 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm × 0.65 mm (L × W × H), 2-terminal configuration.
| 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; reverse-biased operation requires anode at lower voltage than cathode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact SOD523 footprint | Enables high-density layout in wearables, IoT sensors, and portable battery-powered devices |
| Low differential resistance (≤500 Ω) | Maintains tight voltage regulation under varying load currents up to 200 mA forward limit |
| −1.8 mV/K temperature coefficient | Minimizes drift over operating temperature range, supporting stable references in ambient-variable environments |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge capability | Clamps ESD and fast transients without degradation, meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements when properly decoupled |
| 300 mW continuous power rating | Supports sustained regulation in always-on low-power subsystems such as real-time clock backup rails |
Applications

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-B3V3,135 | ±2 % tolerance vs. ±5 %; identical package, Zener voltage 3.23–3.37 V | Higher precision required for metrology-grade references or calibration circuits | Select when tighter voltage accuracy outweighs cost sensitivity and board space is constrained |
| MMBZ5226BS-7-F | 3.3 V ±5 %, SOT-323 package (larger footprint), 200 mW Ptot, 30 W PZSM | Lower surge rating and higher thermal resistance (125 K/W) limit use in high-transient environments | Choose only if SOT-323 is already standardized in production and 300 mW/40 W margin is not required |
Compared with BZX585-B3V3,135, this part trades precision for cost and availability; versus MMBZ5226BS-7-F, it delivers 50 % higher surge power and 48 % lower thermal resistance-critical for compact, high-reliability designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle?
The BZX585-C3V3,135 has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; instead, its safe operating limit is defined by total power dissipation (300 mW at 25 °C ambient). At 3.3 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to ~91 mA average reverse current. Exceeding this causes junction temperature rise beyond 150 °C, risking permanent degradation.
Can this diode be used in forward conduction mode as a regular rectifier?
No-it is not optimized for forward conduction. While VF is 1.1 V at 100 mA, its forward current rating is limited to 200 mA absolute maximum, and it lacks the soft recovery and low leakage characteristics of dedicated signal diodes. Use only in reverse-biased Zener regulation or clamping roles.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance compared to SOD-123?
The SOD523 package has significantly higher thermal resistance: Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W (free air) versus ~200 K/W for SOD-123. However, its Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper when soldered correctly-making it viable for pulsed applications despite smaller size.
Is the 40 W peak power rating applicable for repetitive pulses?
No-the 40 W rating applies only to non-repetitive pulses (tp = 100 µs, square wave, Tj = 25 °C prior to surge). For repetitive operation, average power must stay within 300 mW, and pulse duty cycle must ensure junction temperature remains below 150 °C-typically limiting repetition to <1 Hz at full amplitude.
