AZ23C3V6_R1_00001

Overview

The AZ23C3V6_R1_00001 is a dual surface mount Zener diode from the Panjit AZ23C2V4 series, housed in an SOT-23 package. It features a common anode configuration with a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V and a tolerance range of 3.42 V to 3.78 V. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 95 Ohms at a test current of 5.0 mA, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 15 µA at 1.0 V.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diodes integrated in a single common anode configuration for space-efficient circuit design.
• Compliant with EU RoHS 2011/65/EU directives and manufactured using halogen-free green molding compound.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable low-voltage regulation.
• Clamping applications for transient voltage suppression in signal lines.
• Biasing networks in portable electronic devices utilizing automated assembly processes.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging quantity and reel specifications. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS status and material composition prior to procurement. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required marking code for identification purposes during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener array with a common anode topology is required in a compact SOT-23 footprint. Evaluate the thermal resistance and power derating curves to ensure adequate heat dissipation under operating conditions. Consider the reverse leakage current and impedance specifications relative to the target application's sensitivity requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23C2V4 series, which offers a wide range of Zener voltages from 2.4 V to 51 V in the same SOT-23 package. The series is designed for automatic insertion and general-purpose surface mount applications. Other variants in the series share identical mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics but differ in electrical parameters.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other AZ23CxVx part numbers with matching voltage ratings if available. Cross-brand replacements must be verified for pin compatibility, voltage tolerance, and power dissipation limits. Ensure any alternative maintains the common anode configuration to fit existing board layouts.
