DZ23C10-TP

Overview

The DZ23C10-TP is a dual common cathode Zener diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It operates within the SOT-23-3 surface-mount package, measuring 3.04 mm in length, 1.4 mm in width, and 1.12 mm in height. The device features a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW and a voltage tolerance of 5%. It supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C with a test current of 5 mA. The component weighs approximately 8 mg per unit and is supplied in reel or cut tape formats.

Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration for space-efficient circuit design
• High thermal stability supporting extended industrial temperature ranges
• Compact SOT-23-3 footprint suitable for automated surface-mount assembly

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before integration, as manufacturing revisions may alter mechanical dimensions or electrical tolerances. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation rather than distributor summaries. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, such as reel or cut tape, to align with production line equipment specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener structure is required in a minimal footprint. The 300 mW power rating dictates the maximum current handling capability under steady-state conditions. Designers must account for the 5% voltage tolerance during precision reference calculations. The SOT-23-3 package limits thermal dissipation compared to larger packages, necessitating adequate PCB copper area for heat spreading.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23C series of dual Zener diodes from Micro Commercial Components. The series provides multiple voltage options within the same physical package to simplify inventory management. The DZ23C10-TP specifically addresses applications needing two regulated voltage points from a single component, reducing board space and assembly steps compared to discrete solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other MCC dual Zener diodes in the SOT-23-3 package, such as the AZ23C10-TP. Verify that substitute parts match the exact pinout configuration and electrical parameters, particularly the Zener impedance and leakage current specifications, to ensure circuit compatibility.
