DZ23C24-G3-08

Overview

The DZ23C24-G3-08 is a dual common cathode small signal Zener diode from the Vishay DZ23-G series, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a standard tolerance of ±5 %. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and features a maximum dynamic resistance of 70 Ω at this current level. Electrical characteristics include a reverse leakage current of 50 μA at 19 V and a temperature coefficient ranging from 8 to 10 x 10⁻⁴/°C. The component supports an operating junction temperature up to 150 °C and is rated for commercial grade applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration within a compact SOT-23 footprint
• Graded Zener voltages according to international E24 standards
• ESD protection capability exceeding 8 kV via human body model

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable dual-channel regulation
• Clamping and protection stages in low-voltage signal paths
• Biasing networks in general-purpose electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm tape width and reel dimensions. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization requirements prior to finalizing procurement orders. Ensure that the ordering code matches the exact voltage tolerance and packaging specifications required by the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode topology is necessary within a limited board area. Evaluate the thermal resistance parameters if power dissipation exceeds standard levels. Verify that the 5 % voltage tolerance aligns with circuit precision requirements and that the operating temperature range meets environmental conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23-G series of silicon planar Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.2 V to 75 V, utilizing standardized E24 grading. The G3 suffix indicates green, commercial grade construction compliant with specific environmental directives.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other DZ23-G series variants for different voltage ratings or AEC-Q101 qualified versions if automotive reliability is required. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
