DZ23B6V8-G3-08

Overview

The DZ23B6V8-G3-08 is a dual common cathode Zener diode array manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a tight tolerance of 2%. The device is housed in an SOT-23-3 surface-mount package and dissipates up to 300 mW. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, offering high reliability for compact circuit designs requiring precise voltage regulation.

Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration integrates two independent Zener diodes into a single compact footprint.
• High precision voltage regulation achieved through a strict 2% tolerance on the 6.8 V breakdown voltage.
• Robust thermal performance supports operation across a wide industrial temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable dual supply rails
• Over-voltage protection stages in signal conditioning paths
• Clamping applications in portable electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G3 confirms lead-free compliance and RoHS adherence as per Vishay standards. Confirm the package designation matches SOT-23-3 requirements for your PCB layout. Ensure the 2% tolerance variant meets your circuit's precision needs compared to standard 5% options.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual isolated references are needed in minimal space. The 300 mW power rating suits low-current regulation tasks. Compare leakage current specifications against other series if ultra-low noise is critical. Verify thermal management capabilities for enclosed environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23 series of dual Zener arrays. It complements single-diode packages like BZX84 by providing two regulated nodes in one SOT-23-3 housing. The series offers various voltage options while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics and physical dimensions for design flexibility.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as AZ23B6V8-G3-08 which shares the same package but uses a common anode configuration. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Other Vishay SOT-23-3 Zener arrays may require schematic adjustments due to differing internal connections.
