AZ23C30-G3-08

Overview

The AZ23C30-G3-08 is a dual common anode silicon planar Zener diode array from the Vishay AZ23-G series, housed in a SOT-23 surface-mount package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V with a ±5% tolerance and a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW on an FR-4 board. The device operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C and includes ESD protection exceeding 8 kV (HBM) and 800 V (MM). Electrical characteristics include a dynamic resistance of 80 Ω at 2 mA and a reverse leakage current of 50 μA at 27 V.

Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration for space-efficient circuit design
• ESD protection capability compliant with AEC-Q101 standards
• Green commercial grade material categorization

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring dual independent references
• Clamping and protection stages in signal processing paths
• Biasing networks in low-power electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer's document number 86339 and revision 1.2 against official Vishay channels. Confirm that the ordering code matches the specific electrical tolerances and packaging requirements defined in the datasheet prior to finalizing acquisition.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common anode topology is required within a compact SOT-23 footprint. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C operating range and that the thermal management strategy supports the 300 mW power dissipation limit on standard FR-4 substrates.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23-G series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series offers a wide range of graded Zener voltages from 2.2 V to 75 V, providing standardized options for various voltage regulation and protection applications across consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include AZ23B30-G3-08 for tighter ±2% tolerance or AZ23C30-G3-18 for alternative reel packaging. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before implementing any cross-series replacements.
