AZ23C15_R1_00001

Overview

The AZ23C15_R1_00001 is a dual surface mount Zener diode from the AZ23C2V4 series manufactured by Panjit International Inc. It features a common anode configuration within an SOT-23 molded plastic case. The nominal Zener voltage is 15 V, with a range of 14.25 V to 15.75 V at a test current of 5 mA. Maximum Zener impedance is 30 Ohms at IZT and 200 Ohms at IZK. Maximum reverse leakage current is 0.1 µA at 11.0 V. Power dissipation is rated at 300 mW, with a thermal resistance of 417 °C/W. Operating junction and storage temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diodes integrated in a single common anode package for space-efficient circuit design.
• Compliant with EU RoHS 2011/65/EU directives and utilizes halogen-free green molding compound.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring dual stable potentials.
• Clamping and protection stages in automated assembly environments.
• General-purpose voltage regulation in low-power electronic systems.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official Panjit documentation prior to integration. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging format and marking code. Ensure compliance with environmental standards relevant to the target deployment region. Cross-reference electrical parameters with the latest datasheet revision to account for potential manufacturing updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener solution with a shared anode terminal is required in a compact SOT-23 footprint. The 300 mW power rating supports moderate current applications. Verify that the 15 V nominal voltage aligns with system requirements. Consider the 30 Ohm impedance value for precision needs. Evaluate thermal constraints given the 417 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23C2V4 series, which encompasses dual Zener diodes with voltages ranging from 2.4 V to 51 V. The series shares identical mechanical dimensions and maximum ratings across all voltage variants. Other members include AZ23C14 and AZ23C16, differing primarily in nominal breakdown voltage and associated impedance values.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include AZ23C14 (14 V) and AZ23C16 (16 V). These parts share the SOT-23 package and common anode configuration but differ in nominal voltage. Verify that the alternative voltage level meets the specific circuit requirements before substitution.
