DZ23C10-E3-18

Overview

The Vishay DZ23C10-E3-18 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 within a test current range of 2 to 5 mA and features a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 μA at 7.5 V. Electrical characteristics include a dynamic resistance (ZZ) of 15 Ω at IZT1 and a temperature coefficient ranging from 5 to 8 × 10⁻⁴/°C. It supports power dissipation up to 500 mW and functions across an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.
