AZ23B6V2-E3-18

Overview

The AZ23B6V2-E3-18 is a dual common anode silicon planar Zener diode array from the Vishay AZ23 series, housed in a SOT-23 surface-mount package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and provides a maximum dynamic resistance of 10 Ω. Electrical characteristics include a reverse leakage current of 1 μA at 4 V and a temperature coefficient ranging from -1 to 7 × 10⁻⁴/°C. It supports an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C and offers ESD protection exceeding 8 kV (HBM) and 800 V (MM).

Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration for compact circuit integration.
• High electrostatic discharge robustness compliant with AEC-Q101 standards.
• Tight voltage tolerance of ±2% for precision regulation applications.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable low-voltage rails.
• Overvoltage protection stages in signal conditioning paths.
• Clamping networks in automotive-grade electronic modules.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code suffix matches the required reel size and quantity. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details against the latest manufacturer documentation before finalizing purchase orders. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6.2 V reference is needed in a small footprint. The ±2% tolerance distinguishes it from standard ±5% variants. Verify that the thermal dissipation limits on FR-4 boards align with the specific application's power budget and ambient temperature constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23 series of small-signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.2 V to 75 V in both ±2% and ±5% tolerances, utilizing the standardized SOT-23 package for automated surface-mount assembly.
