AZ23B10-G3-08

Overview

The AZ23B10-G3-08 is a dual common anode silicon planar Zener diode array from the Vishay AZ23-G series, housed in a surface-mount SOT-23 package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a tight ±2% tolerance. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and dissipates up to 300 mW on an FR-4 board. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA and a dynamic resistance of 15 Ω. It supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration for space-efficient circuit design
• High precision ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• ESD protection exceeding 8 kV (HBM) and 800 V (MM)
• Lead-free construction compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• Precision voltage reference circuits
• Over-voltage protection stages
• Signal clipping and waveform shaping

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm reel size and tape specifications. Ensure that the component meets the required environmental compliance standards for the intended application. Cross-reference the part number with official distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and traceability before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener array with high voltage accuracy is required in a compact footprint. The ±2% tolerance makes it suitable for applications demanding precise voltage regulation. Consider the thermal resistance and power dissipation limits relative to the ambient operating conditions to ensure reliable performance within the specified temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23-G series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series offers a wide range of graded Zener voltages according to the E24 standard. The 'B' designation indicates the tighter 2% tolerance variant, while the 'G3' suffix denotes lead-free packaging. These devices are designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring stable voltage references.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include AZ23B10-E3-08 and AZ23B10-G3-18. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters when substituting with components from other manufacturers.
