AZ23C36W-TP

Overview

The AZ23C36W-TP is a Zener diode array manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a dual common anode configuration housed in an SOT-323 surface-mount package. The nominal Zener voltage is 36 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The maximum power dissipation is rated at 200 mW. The device exhibits a maximum dynamic impedance of 90 Ohms and a reverse leakage current of 100 nA at 27 V. It is designed for general-purpose voltage regulation applications within electronic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration for space-efficient circuit design
• Compact SOT-323 surface-mount packaging
• Standardized 36 V nominal voltage regulation

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• General-purpose voltage regulation
• Protection against overvoltage transients

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix W indicates the SOT-323 package variant when sourcing replacements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor datasheets prior to integration into environmentally regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component where a dual common anode Zener array is required in a small footprint. Ensure the 200 mW power rating and 36 V breakdown voltage align with the target circuit requirements. Verify that the SOT-323 package dimensions fit the available PCB real estate constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23C series of Zener diode arrays from MCC. It shares the common anode topology with other variants in the family but differs in voltage rating and package type. The W suffix specifically denotes the SOT-323 form factor, distinguishing it from other package options like SOT-23.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include AZ23C36HE3-TP, which offers similar electrical characteristics but utilizes an SOT-23 package. Designers must account for potential pinout or physical dimension differences when swapping between SOT-323 and SOT-23 packages.
