AZ23C27-TP

Overview

The AZ23C27-TP is a Zener diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It belongs to the AZ23C series and is housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. The device features a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a power dissipation rating of 300 mW. It exhibits a voltage tolerance of ±5% and a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA at the test voltage. The component operates within a temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C, with a specified Zener impedance of 50 Ohms.

Feature Summary

• Compact SOT-23 surface-mount design for automated placement
• High-temperature resilience up to 150 °C junction temperature
• Wide Zener voltage range availability within the series

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Over-voltage protection
• Clamping applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet for the AZ23C27-TP variant, as product listings may occasionally display parameters for similar series members like the AZ23C27W-TP. Confirm the package type and power rating match the design requirements before ordering. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the application specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 27 V regulation point is needed in a compact SMD footprint. The 300 mW power rating supports moderate current loads. Compare against the AZ23C27W-TP if a lower 200 mW power rating or different packaging is acceptable for cost optimization.

Part Context

This part is part of the MCC AZ23C family of Zener diodes. The series offers various voltage options in the SOT-23 package. It serves as a standard solution for low-power voltage regulation tasks in consumer electronics and industrial control boards where space is limited.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents from other manufacturers offering SOT-23 Zener diodes with 27 V nominal voltage and 300 mW power rating. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
