Procurement Notes

This specific part number (AZ23C10-7-G) is officially listed as obsolete and no longer in production by the manufacturer. Verification of availability should focus on finding direct replacement equivalents or checking for surplus stock from authorized distributors. Ensure that any substitute components meet the original electrical specifications and package dimensions to maintain circuit integrity.

Selection Notes

Designers should consider the AZ23C10-7-F as a potential active alternative within the same series. When selecting replacements, verify that the new component maintains the 10 V Zener voltage, 300 mW power rating, and SOT-23-3 footprint. Confirm that the thermal characteristics and impedance values are compatible with the existing circuit requirements to ensure reliable operation.

Part Context

The AZ23C10-7-G belongs to the AZ23C10 series of Zener diode arrays produced by Diodes Incorporated. This series provides dual Zener diodes in a single compact package, offering a solution for applications needing multiple voltage references or clamping points. The component is categorized under discrete semiconductors, specifically diodes and rectifiers, targeting surface-mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

The AZ23C10-7-F is identified as a direct replacement for the obsolete AZ23C10-7-G. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics and the SOT-23-3 package. Engineers should validate the pinout compatibility and thermal performance when transitioning from the G suffix variant to the F suffix variant.
