AZ23C3V0

Overview

The AZ23C3V0 is a dual common anode Zener diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 3.0 V with a tolerance range of 2.8 V to 3.2 V at a test current (Izt) of 5 mA. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW and a junction temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance (Zzt) of 95 Ω and a leakage current (Ir) of 0.1 µA at a reverse voltage of 1 V.

Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration for space-efficient circuit design
• Moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 standard
• Halogen-free molding compound compliant with IEC 61249-2-21

Applications

• Low voltage stabilizers or voltage references
• Adapters
• Lighting applications
• On-board DC/DC converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging type, as variations exist between reel and cut tape formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to integration. Ensure component authenticity by sourcing directly from authorized distributors or verified supply channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener solution with a common anode is required in a compact SOT-23 footprint. Verify that the 300 mW power dissipation rating meets thermal requirements. Check if the 3.0 V nominal voltage aligns with system reference needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23C series, which covers Zener voltages from 2.7 V to 51 V. All members share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical testing conditions, differing primarily in breakdown voltage specifications and marking codes.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-referencing requires matching the dual common anode topology, SOT-23 package, and 3.0 V nominal voltage. Verify equivalent power ratings and impedance values to ensure functional compatibility.
