The Vishay AZ23C56-HE3_A-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode in the AZ23 series, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a ±5% tolerance and operates at a test current of 2 mA. The device has a maximum reverse leakage current of 42 µA at 50 V and a dynamic resistance of 135 Ω at 1 kHz. Rated for AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, it dissipates up to 500 mW (300 mW on FR-4) and withstands junction temperatures up to 150 °C.
Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the ordering code against official Vishay documentation. Confirm that the HE3_A suffix indicates AEC-Q101 compliance and RoHS adherence. Ensure storage conditions remain within specified limits to maintain solderability and prevent moisture absorption prior to assembly.
Select this variant when a 56 V breakdown voltage with standard tolerance is required in an SOT-23 footprint. Consider the 2 mA test current for low-power biasing scenarios. Evaluate thermal constraints carefully, as power dissipation drops significantly above ambient temperatures exceeding 75 °C.
This component belongs to the AZ23 series of small-signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series offers various voltage grades from 2.2 V to 75 V in the SOT-23 package. The HE3_A designation specifically denotes the automotive-qualified, lead-free version compliant with international environmental standards.
Direct substitutes include other AZ23C56 variants such as AZ23C56-E3-08 or AZ23C56-G3-08, provided automotive qualification is not mandatory. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting components from different manufacturers.
The marking code for this specific part number is D73.
The datasheet specifies the dynamic resistance (ZZ) at a test frequency of 1 kHz.
While it provides clamping functionality, its primary design is for voltage regulation and reference applications rather than high-energy transient suppression.
