AZ23C3V0-7

Overview

The AZ23C3V0-7 is a dual surface mount Zener diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT-23 package. It features a common anode configuration with two independent Zener elements sharing a single terminal. The nominal Zener voltage is 3.0 V, operating within a range of 2.8 V to 3.2 V at a test current of 5.0 mA. Maximum power dissipation is rated at 300 mW, and the device supports an operating temperature range from -65°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 95 Ω at 1 kHz and a typical temperature coefficient of -0.060 %/°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diodes integrated into a single compact SOT-23 package for space-constrained designs.
• Common anode configuration simplifies circuit layout and reduces component count.
• Manufactured using lead-free, halogen-free, and antimony-free materials compliant with RoHS directives.
• Qualified to AEC-Q101 standards with high ESD protection ratings for automotive reliability.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring dual stable voltage rails.
• Clamping and protection stages in signal processing paths.
• Automotive electronic modules requiring AEC-Q101 qualified components.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. Confirm that the requested part matches the commercial grade designation rather than the automotive Q-suffix variant. Ensure compatibility with automated insertion equipment specifications. Validate that the packaging type aligns with manufacturing requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener array with a common anode topology is required. Evaluate the 300 mW power dissipation limit against thermal constraints in the final assembly. Consider the negative temperature coefficient for applications sensitive to thermal drift. Verify that the SOT-23 footprint fits the available PCB area.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AZ23C series, which provides various Zener voltage options in a standardized surface mount format. The series is designed for general-purpose voltage regulation and protection tasks. It serves as a compact alternative to discrete single Zener diodes, offering design flexibility while maintaining consistent electrical performance across the product line.
