AZ23C10W-7-F

Overview

The AZ23C10W-7-F is a dual surface mount Zener diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT-323 package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a tolerance range of 9.4 V to 10.6 V at a test current of 5 mA. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 200 mW and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Electrical specifications include a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 15 Ohms at IZT = 5 mA, a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.2 µA at VR = 7.0 V, and a typical voltage temperature coefficient between 4.5 mV/°C and 8.0 mV/°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm packaging details. Ensure that any requested variants match the exact part number requirements for the intended application. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm mechanical and electrical parameters remain consistent with design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener array in an ultra-small SOT-323 package is required. Consider the 200 mW power dissipation limit and the specific 10 V nominal voltage characteristics. Evaluate the ESD ratings and temperature coefficient against the environmental conditions of the target system to ensure reliable operation under expected stress levels.
