Product details
Overview
BZX585-C5V1,115 from Nexperia is a 5.1 V ±5 % tolerance Zener 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 regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog and digital supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C5V1,115 datasheet, BZX585-C5V1,115 pinout, BZX585-C5V1,115 application, or BZX585-C5V1,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, differential resistance (400 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder point), cathode-marked ultra-small SMD footprint, and surge capability under 100 µs square-wave pulses.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 5.1 V reference across load variations, with temperature coefficient of −0.5 to +1.2 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. Its low 400 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal output impedance under nominal 5 mA test current.
The device uses planar epitaxial silicon construction with metallized cathode termination, optimized for reflow soldering on FR4 PCBs with ≥35 mm² copper area at the cathode tab. Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 65 K/W supports reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under pulsed conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.85 V to 5.36 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output range for low-voltage reference circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 400 Ω (typ) at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 2.0 µA at VR = 3.0 V - ensures low leakage in standby or high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² Cu - sets continuous DC power handling limit |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs, square wave - enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max at IF = 100 mA - relevant for polarity-check or series-forward protection configurations |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - quantifies thermal path efficiency from die to PCB, critical for pulse reliability |
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; designed for high-density PCB layouts and automated placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries reverse current during Zener conduction |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-biased path for voltage reference operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables cost-effective regulation where tight initial accuracy is sufficient without trimming |
| 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating | Supports robust ESD and surge suppression in I/O protection circuits per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 |
| 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance | Allows safe dissipation of short-duration transients without requiring large copper pours |
| Low 2.0 µA reverse leakage at 3.0 V | Minimizes quiescent current in battery-powered voltage monitor or reset circuits |
| SOD523 package footprint (1.25 × 0.85 mm) | Reduces board space by >50 % vs. SOD323, enabling miniaturization in wearables and IoT sensors |
Applications
| Power Supply Rail Clamp | Reference Voltage Source |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-B5V1,115 | ±2 % tolerance (vs. ±5 %), higher cost, tighter VZ spread (4.90–5.10 V) | Required where initial accuracy <±20 mV is mandatory, e.g., precision DAC references | Select when tighter tolerance justifies premium pricing and board-level calibration is impractical |
| MMSZ5231B-7-F | Same 5.1 V nominal, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, higher rdiff (600 Ω) | Preferred for manual assembly or legacy footprints; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Choose when larger package improves solder joint reliability or matches existing SOD-123 land patterns |
Compared with BZX585-C5V1,115, the BZX585-B5V1,115 offers superior initial accuracy at the expense of cost and yield sensitivity, while MMSZ5231B-7-F trades miniaturization for higher power handling and relaxed thermal constraints in less space-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle?
The BZX585-C5V1,115 has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; its DC operation is limited by total power dissipation of 300 mW at 25 °C ambient. At 5.1 V, this corresponds to ~59 mA average Zener current. Exceeding this causes junction temperature rise beyond safe limits unless board-level thermal design compensates.
Can this diode be used in series with another Zener for higher voltage reference?
Yes - stacking multiple BZX585-C5V1,115 diodes in series yields additive Zener voltages (e.g., two in series ≈ 10.2 V), but tolerance accumulates (±5 % each → ±7.1 % total), and thermal coupling between devices affects stability. Differential resistance also sums linearly, increasing output impedance.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOD523 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. Recommended peak temperature is 260 °C for ≤30 seconds; solder land pattern matches IPC-7351B SOIC-2 density, with 0.5 mm pad width and 1.4 mm center-to-center spacing per Figure 12 in the datasheet.
How does temperature affect regulation accuracy in practical use?
At IZ = 5 mA, the BZX585-C5V1,115 exhibits a temperature coefficient of −0.5 to +1.2 mV/K. Over a 70 °C range (−25 to +45 °C), this produces up to ±84 mV drift - acceptable for non-critical biasing but insufficient for metrology-grade references without external compensation.
