DZ23C10-E3-08

Overview

The Vishay DZ23C10-E3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode in the DZ23 series, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a standard tolerance of ±5 %. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and features a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 7 V. Dynamic resistance is specified at 15 Ω (at Izt1) and 70 Ω (at Izt2). It supports a junction temperature up to 150 °C and offers ESD protection exceeding 8 kV via human body model standards.

Feature Summary

• Silicon planar construction for reliable voltage regulation
• High electrostatic discharge robustness per AEC-Q101 standards
• RoHS-compliant commercial grade material categorization

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable low-voltage rails
• Input protection stages for sensitive electronic components
• Clamping applications in signal conditioning paths

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering code matches the required tape-and-reel quantity. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the component marking code aligns with internal traceability requirements before initiating production integration.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a 10 V reference is needed within a compact SOT-23 footprint. Consider the 5 mA test current requirement for biasing networks. Evaluate thermal dissipation limits against ambient operating conditions to ensure safe junction temperatures during continuous operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Vishay DZ23 series of small signal Zener diodes. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.2 V to 75 V using standardized E24 grading. All variants share the same SOT-23 physical dimensions and mounting characteristics, allowing for flexible design scaling across different voltage requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay DZ23 series parts with identical packaging but different voltage ratings. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the SOT-23 outline, 10 V nominal voltage, and ±5 % tolerance specifications to maintain circuit compatibility.
