Product details
Overview
BZX585-C75,115 from Nexperia is a 75 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 in space-constrained low-power circuits such as sensor biasing and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-C75,115 datasheet, BZX585-C75,115 pinout, BZX585-C75,115 application, or BZX585-C75,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (75 V), tolerance (±5 %), differential resistance (170 Ω at IZ = 2 mA), thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder point), and ultra-small SOD523 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. Its 75 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 2 mA, with temperature coefficient of +80.2 mV/K and reverse current ≤0.05 µA at VR = 57 V.
Designed for surface-mount use in FR4 PCBs with ~35 mm² copper area at cathode, it delivers low thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W) and supports surge handling up to 40 W for 100 µs square-wave pulses at Tj = 25 °C prior to surge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75 V nominal at IZ = 2 mA; actual range 71.25 V to 78.75 V per ±5 % tolerance |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² Cu at cathode - defines continuous DC operating limit |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 170 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output impedance in shunt regulator designs |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 57 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max at IF = 100 mA - relevant for polarity-check or ESD protection configurations |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 65 K/W junction-to-solder point - enables accurate thermal modeling when mounted on standard SMT pads |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD523 (SC-79), ultra-small flat-lead surface-mount plastic package (1.25 mm × 0.85 mm × 0.65 mm), marked with cathode band on terminal 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal - reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for voltage regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact SOD523 footprint | Enables placement in <1.3 mm² board area - critical for wearables, hearing aids, and miniaturized IoT sensors |
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Supports cost-sensitive applications where tight regulation is secondary to size and reliability |
| Low differential resistance (170 Ω) | Minimizes output voltage drift under load variation - improves stability in feedback references |
| High surge capability (40 W, 100 µs) | Clamps ESD and fast transients without degradation - eliminates need for external TVS in many Class 2 designs |
| Low leakage (0.05 µA @ 57 V) | Preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits by limiting standby current draw |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Biasing | Portable Device Reference |
|---|---|

Use Value: +80.2 mV/K temperature coefficient allows predictable thermal drift compensation; SOD523 reflow compatibility ensures robust assembly in high-vibration environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-B75,115 | Same package and 75 V nominal voltage but ±2 % tolerance (vs. ±5 %); higher test current (5 mA vs. 2 mA) | Used where tighter regulation stability is required, e.g., metrology-grade references | Select when absolute voltage accuracy outweighs cost sensitivity and leakage budget |
| MMSZ5267ET1G | SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.4 mm), 75 V ±5 %, 500 mW Ptot, 200 Ω rdiff at 20 mA | Larger footprint and higher power rating - suited for higher-current regulation or less space-constrained boards | Choose when thermal margin >300 mW is needed or legacy SOD-123 layout reuse is prioritized |
Compared with BZX585-B75,115, the C75 variant trades voltage precision for lower cost and reduced leakage; versus MMSZ5267ET1G, it sacrifices power handling and thermal mass for 55 % smaller board area and better high-frequency decoupling due to lower capacitance (0.05 pF).

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-C75,115 at 75 V?
The device is not rated for continuous operation at 75 V in reverse bias. Its maximum continuous reverse current is defined by power dissipation: at 75 V, Imax = Ptot / VZ = 300 mW / 75 V = 4 mA. Exceeding this risks thermal runaway due to junction temperature exceeding 150 °C.
Can BZX585-C75,115 be used in place of a 75 V Zener with ±2 % tolerance?
No - BZX585-C75,115 has ±5 % tolerance (71.25 V to 78.75 V), while ±2 % variants like BZX585-B75,115 span 73.5 V to 76.5 V. Substitution requires verifying system-level voltage margin, especially in precision references where 3.5 V window difference affects accuracy.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance compared to SOD-123?
SOD523 offers lower Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W versus ~120 K/W for SOD-123, enabling faster heat transfer to solder joint, but its smaller copper pad area limits absolute power handling. At 300 mW, SOD523 reaches ~20 K above ambient - acceptable for intermittent loads but unsuitable for sustained 75 V/4 mA operation without derating.
Is BZX585-C75,115 suitable for automotive applications?
No - this part is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification unless declared in the data sheet. For automotive reset or biasing, use AEC-Q200-compliant alternatives such as PZM7.5A or BZX84-C75VL, which undergo extended temperature cycling and vibration testing.
