AZ23C5V6Q-7-F

Overview

The AZ23C5V6Q-7-F is a dual surface mount Zener diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT-23 package. It features a common anode configuration with two independent Zener diodes sharing a single terminal. The nominal Zener voltage is 5.6 V with a tolerance range of 5.2 V to 6.0 V at a test current of 5.0 mA. Maximum power dissipation is rated at 300 mW, and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 417 °C/W. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance (Zzt) of 40 Ohms at Izt = 5.0 mA and a typical temperature coefficient of +0.020 %/°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diodes integrated into a single compact SOT-23 case for space-efficient circuit designs

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific automotive qualification requirements if applicable to the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener array with common anode topology is required in a small surface-mount footprint. Ensure the 5.6 V nominal voltage and 300 mW power rating align with the circuit's operational limits and thermal management capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23C series of dual surface mount Zener diodes from Diodes Incorporated. The series offers various voltage options in the same SOT-23 package, providing design flexibility for different voltage reference needs while maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives include other dual Zener arrays in SOT-23 packages with similar electrical specifications. Verify pinout compatibility, particularly the common anode configuration, and ensure equivalent power dissipation and voltage tolerance ratings before substitution.
