AZ23C5V1-7-G

Overview

The AZ23C5V1-7-G is a dual common anode Zener diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features two independent Zener diodes sharing a single anode terminal within a compact SOT-23 surface-mount package. The device provides a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with a tolerance of ±5%. It operates at a test current of 5 mA and supports a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW. The component functions reliably across a junction temperature range from -65°C to +150°C, making it suitable for general-purpose voltage reference and protection applications in space-constrained designs.

Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration integrates two Zener diodes into a single compact footprint.
• High thermal stability ensures reliable operation across a wide industrial temperature range.
• Compact SOT-23 surface-mount package facilitates automated assembly and dense PCB layouts.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring multiple stable potential levels
• Transient voltage suppression in signal lines
• Clamping applications in portable electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact electrical specifications required for the design. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener solution is needed in a minimal footprint. Verify that the 5.1 V breakdown voltage aligns with circuit requirements. Confirm that the 300 mW power rating suffices for the expected operating conditions. Check compatibility with standard SOT-23 reflow soldering profiles during the design phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23C series of dual Zener arrays from Diodes Incorporated. The series offers various voltage options in the same SOT-23 package to simplify inventory management. These devices are designed for cost-sensitive consumer electronics and industrial applications requiring reliable voltage regulation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' dual common anode Zener arrays in SOT-23 packages with matching 5.1 V ratings and 300 mW power dissipation. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical tolerances before substitution.
