DZ23C11-TP

Overview

The DZ23C11-TP is a dual common cathode Zener diode array manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It is housed in an SOT-23-3 surface-mount package. The device features a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V with a power dissipation rating of 300 mW. Electrical specifications include a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA and a Zener impedance of 20 Ohms at a test current of 5 mA. The unit operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration for space-efficient circuit design
• Glass passivated junction construction for enhanced stability
• Surface-mount SOT-23-3 packaging suitable for automated assembly

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring dual stable potentials
• Clamping applications in signal conditioning stages
• Protection networks in portable electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as manufacturing parameters may evolve through production change notices. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier or manufacturer documentation prior to integration into regulated products. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel or cut tape format for your assembly line equipment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener solution is required in a minimal footprint SOT-23-3 package. The 300 mW power rating supports moderate current applications. Verify that the 11 V breakdown voltage aligns with the target circuit requirements and that the 20 Ohm impedance meets noise sensitivity constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23C series of dual Zener arrays from MCC. It shares the same physical package and general electrical characteristics with variants such as the DZ23C10-TP and DZ23C12-TP, differing primarily in the specific Zener voltage rating. The series is designed for compact consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same family include the DZ23C10-TP and DZ23C12-TP. Cross-manufacturer replacements require verification of the SOT-23-3 footprint, dual common cathode configuration, and equivalent 300 mW power dissipation rating.
