AZ23C3V3-7-G

Overview

The AZ23C3V3-7-G is a dual Zener diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent diodes sharing a single cathode terminal. The nominal Zener voltage is 3.3 V with a tolerance of ±5%. Maximum power dissipation is rated at 300 mW, and the test current is specified at 5 mA. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. This specific suffix variant is documented as discontinued status by major distributors.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diode array integrated into a compact three-terminal surface-mount package
• Common cathode configuration allowing for shared reference or protection applications
• Automotive-grade qualification compliant with AEC-Q101 standards

Applications

• Voltage clamping and transient suppression in automotive electronic control units
• ESD protection for data lines in vehicle infotainment systems
• Reference voltage generation in low-power industrial sensor circuits

Part Context

This component belongs to the AZ23C series of dual Zener arrays from Diodes Incorporated. The series offers various voltage options within the same SOT-23 footprint to simplify bill-of-materials management. The -G suffix typically denotes a lead-free and halogen-free compliant version, though this specific part number has reached end-of-life status in the commercial supply chain.
