DZ23C13-G3-08

Overview

The DZ23C13-G3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode from the Vishay DZ23-G series, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 13 V with a tolerance of ±5 %. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and exhibits a maximum dynamic resistance of 25 Ω at this current level. Reverse leakage current is limited to 0.1 μA when tested at 10 V. The component supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C and provides ESD protection exceeding 8 kV via the human body model.

Feature Summary

• Dual-element common cathode configuration within a compact SOT-23 footprint
• Graded Zener voltages aligned with international E24 standards
• High electrostatic discharge robustness for sensitive circuit environments

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable DC levels
• Overvoltage protection stages in signal conditioning paths
• Clamping applications in low-power electronic assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the specific voltage grade and tape reel quantity required for production. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization standards before finalizing supply agreements. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements to maintain solderability and device integrity during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 13 V reference is needed in space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities against ambient temperature profiles to ensure junction temperatures remain within safe limits. Consider the dynamic resistance specifications for applications demanding high stability under varying load currents.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23-G series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series offers a wide range of standard voltage values in a standardized surface-mount package. These devices are designed for general-purpose voltage regulation and protection tasks in commercial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other DZ23C13 variants such as DZ23C13-G3-18 or DZ23C13-E3-18, which share identical electrical characteristics but differ in packaging quantities. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance when transitioning between different reel sizes or lead-free suffixes.
