AZ23C27WHE3-TP

Overview

The AZ23C27WHE3-TP is a Zener diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It belongs to the AZ23C series of dual Zener arrays housed in an SOT-323 surface-mount package. The device features a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a tolerance of ±5%. It has a maximum power dissipation of 200 mW and includes one pair of common anode configurations. The component is designed for applications requiring compact voltage regulation solutions in space-constrained electronic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener array configuration with common anode topology
• Compact SOT-323 surface-mount packaging for space-efficient designs
• Standardized ±5% voltage tolerance for precise regulation

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits in portable electronics
• Signal clipping and protection in communication devices
• Biasing networks in integrated circuit interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with specific tape-and-reel or cut-tape requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region and production batch.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener solution with a common anode is required in an SOT-323 footprint. Ensure the operating voltage aligns with the 27 V nominal specification and that the 200 mW power rating suffices for the intended thermal environment. Verify pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Part Context

This part is part of MCC's AZ23C family of dual Zener diodes. Similar variants include AZ23C2V4WHE3-TP and AZ23C36W-TP, which offer different voltage ratings within the same package style. These components are commonly used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems where small form factors are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the SOT-323 package, 27 V Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, and common anode configuration. Verify electrical parameters such as impedance and leakage current against original specifications before substitution.
