Product details
Overview
BZX585-C3V9,135 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 3.9 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 400 Ω typical differential resistance and 300 mW total power dissipation. It delivers stable voltage reference in low-power analog circuits, ESD-protected I/O clamping, and precision biasing for sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C3V9,135 datasheet, BZX585-C3V9,135 pinout, BZX585-C3V9,135 application, or BZX585-C3V9,135 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder-point), non-repetitive surge capability (40 W/100 µs), and ultra-small footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 3.9 V reference across load variations and temperature shifts from −65 °C to +150 °C. Its low 3.0 µA maximum reverse current at VR = 1 V ensures minimal leakage in standby-sensitive designs.
The device features a cathode-marked SOD523 package with 350 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 PCB (35 mm² copper), enabling reliable operation without heatsinking in ambient temperatures up to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.71 V to 4.10 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 3.9 V nominal reference |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 400 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 layout |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 µs square wave - supports transient overvoltage suppression in surge-prone interfaces |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 3.0 µA max at VR = 1 V - ensures low quiescent current in battery-powered voltage monitor circuits |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - enables accurate thermal modeling when mounted on thermally enhanced pads |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max at IF = 100 mA - specifies forward conduction loss during polarity-reversal protection use |
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 orientation during placement |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction for Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables cost-effective voltage reference where tighter tolerance is not required, reducing BOM cost vs. ±2 % variants |
| Ultra-compact SOD523 footprint | Supports >2× higher component density than SOD323 in space-constrained wearables and IoT sensors |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge rating | Provides single-event ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (15 kV air / 8 kV contact) without external TVS |
| Low 3.0 µA reverse leakage | Minimizes standby current drain in always-on battery-backed voltage supervisors and real-time clock circuits |
| −1.9 mV/K temperature coefficient | Delivers predictable, slightly negative drift over temperature-ideal for compensation-aware bias networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-B3V9,135 | ±2 % tolerance (3.82–3.98 V), higher cost, same SOD523 package and thermal specs | Required where tighter regulation is needed for precision ADC references or bandgap calibration | Select when VZ accuracy dominates over cost and board area constraints |
| MMSZ4V3T1G | 4.3 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, 30 Ω rdiff | Better regulation for higher-current loads but occupies >3× PCB area and lacks 40 W surge rating | Choose only if higher power dissipation or lower dynamic impedance is mandatory and space permits |
Compared with BZX585-C3V9,135, the BZX585-B3V9,135 improves voltage accuracy at the expense of unit cost, while MMSZ4V3T1G trades ultra-small size and surge robustness for higher power handling and lower impedance-making BZX585-C3V9,135 optimal for miniaturized, transient-hardened 3.9 V reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 3.9 V?
The BZX585-C3V9,135 is rated for 200 mA maximum forward current, but its Zener operation is specified at test currents up to 5 mA for regulation parameters. Continuous reverse current must be limited by external series resistance to ensure power dissipation stays within 300 mW at ambient temperature-typically limiting IZ to ≤76 mA at 3.9 V on standard FR4.
Can this diode replace a 3.3 V Zener in an existing design?
No-BZX585-C3V9,135 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V (3.71–4.10 V range), not 3.3 V. Substituting it for a 3.3 V part would raise regulated voltage by ~18 %, potentially damaging downstream 3.3 V logic. For 3.3 V regulation, consider BZX585-C3V3,135 (3.14–3.47 V).
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance compared to SOD323?
The SOD523 package has higher thermal resistance: Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W versus ~250 K/W for SOD323 under identical PCB conditions. This reduces maximum allowable power dissipation by ~30 % at elevated ambient temperatures, requiring careful thermal layout with cathode-side copper pour to maintain reliability.
Is this part suitable for automotive applications?
No-BZX585-C3V9,135 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products like this Zener are unsuitable for safety-critical or automotive use. For automotive-grade Zeners, select Nexperia's Automotive Qualified (AQ) series with documented PPAP and qualification reports.
