AZ23C5V6-TP

Overview

The AZ23C5V6-TP is a dual Zener diode array manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a common anode configuration with two independent diodes housed in a single SOT-23 surface-mount package. The nominal Zener voltage is 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Reverse leakage current is specified at 1 µA @ 1 V, and the maximum Zener impedance is 40 Ohms.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diode array integrated into a compact SOT-23 surface-mount package
• Common anode configuration for simplified circuit design
• High thermal stability with a wide operating junction temperature range

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring dual stable potentials
• Clamping and protection stages in signal conditioning paths
• Biasing networks in low-power electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized MCC distributors or certified suppliers. Request original datasheets and material compliance certificates to confirm RoHS and REACH adherence. Inspect packaging integrity upon receipt to prevent moisture damage or pin contamination during storage and handling.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener solution with common anode topology is required in space-constrained designs. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 5.6 V nominal rating and that power dissipation remains within the 300 mW limit. Verify compatibility with standard SOT-23 footprint layouts and reflow soldering profiles.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23C series of dual Zener arrays from Micro Commercial Components. It shares the same electrical characteristics and package type as variants like AZ23C5V6L-TP but differs in power rating and specific parameter tolerances. The series provides standardized solutions for multi-diode applications without requiring discrete components.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include AZ23C5V6L-TP and AZ23C5V6HE3-TP from MCC, which share the SOT-23 package and common anode configuration. Cross-manufacturer equivalents such as BZX584-C5V6 or MMSZ5232B may be considered if pinout and electrical parameters align with the application requirements.
