DZ23C13-E3-08

Overview

The Vishay DZ23C13-E3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode from the DZ23 series, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 13 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 10 V. Dynamic resistance is specified at 25 Ω (at Izt1) and 110 kΩ⁻¹ (at Izt2). Power dissipation reaches 500 mW on FR-4 boards with recommended footprints. Operating temperature ranges from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Silicon planar construction for stable voltage regulation
• E24 standard grading with ±5 % voltage tolerance
• ESD protection exceeding 8 kV HBM and 800 V MM per AEC-Q101
• RoHS-compliant commercial grade packaging

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable bias points
• Clamping applications for signal line protection
• General-purpose voltage regulation in compact PCB layouts

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm reel size and tape specifications. Ensure that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Confirm that the commercial grade designation aligns with your project's environmental standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 13 V reference is required within a small SOT-23 footprint. Consider the ±5 % tolerance and 5 mA test current for circuit design accuracy. Evaluate thermal management needs if operating near the 150 °C junction limit. Verify ESD robustness requirements against the documented human body model ratings.

Part Context

This part 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 values. The base product line offers commercial-grade performance, while HE3 variants provide automotive qualification under AEC-Q101 standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Vishay DZ23C13 variants with different packaging suffixes such as -18 for larger reels. Cross-brand equivalents must match the 13 V nominal voltage, SOT-23 package dimensions, and power dissipation limits.
