AZ23C2V2-E3-08

Overview

The Vishay AZ23C2V2-E3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode array featuring two common anode configurations housed in an SOT-23 package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 2.2 V with a tolerance of ±5 %. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 μA at 1 V. Dynamic resistance is specified at 120 Ω, while the temperature coefficient ranges from -9 to -4 x 10⁻⁴/°C. Power dissipation reaches 500 mW on FR-4 boards, supporting operation between -55 °C and +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration for compact circuit integration
• ESD protection capability exceeding 8 kV via human body model
• RoHS-compliant commercial grade construction

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring low voltage stability
• Clamping applications for signal lines
• Protection stages in portable electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the ordering code against official Vishay documentation. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required tape and reel specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common anode topology is necessary within a minimal footprint. The low voltage rating suits precision references where standard single diodes are insufficient. Verify thermal management requirements against the 500 mW dissipation limit under expected operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23 series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series offers a wide range of graded voltages according to the E24 standard. The 'C' designation indicates the standard ±5 % tolerance level available for general-purpose applications.

Replacement Considerations

AZ23B2V2-E3-08 provides tighter ±2 % tolerance. AZ23C2V2-G3-08 offers equivalent electrical performance with alternative packaging options.
