AZ23C8V2-G3-08

Overview

The AZ23C8V2-G3-08 is a dual common anode silicon planar Zener diode array from the AZ23-G series, manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It provides two independent Zener diodes sharing a common anode terminal within a compact SOT-23 surface-mount package. The nominal Zener voltage is 8.2 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. Electrical characteristics are defined at a test current (IZT1) of 5 mA, featuring a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA and a dynamic resistance (ZZ) of 7 Ω. The device operates across a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C and supports a power dissipation of up to 500 mW.

Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration for efficient space utilization in circuit designs
• Silicon planar technology ensuring robust performance and reliability
• Compliance with RoHS standards and halogen-free material composition

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable dual supply rails
• Overvoltage protection stages for sensitive signal lines
• Clamping applications in data communication interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels. Confirm that the ordering code matches the specific voltage tolerance and packaging requirements. Ensure compliance with environmental directives such as RoHS and REACH before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this variant when a dual Zener array with a common anode topology is required. The ±5% tolerance suits general-purpose regulation tasks. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction-to-lead thermal resistance values under different mounting conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AZ23-G series of small signal Zener diodes. The series offers a wide range of graded voltages according to the E24 standard. Variants are available with different voltage tolerances and AEC-Q101 automotive qualifications upon request.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other AZ23C8V2 variants with different tape-and-reel quantities or lead-free designations, provided the electrical parameters remain identical.
