DZ23C36-7-F

Overview

The DZ23C36-7-F is a dual surface mount Zener diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT-23 package. It features a common cathode configuration with a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW. The nominal Zener voltage ranges from 34 V to 38 V at a test current of 5.0 mA. Maximum Zener impedance is specified as 90 Ω at the test current and 250 Ω at a knee current of 1.0 mA. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diodes integrated into a single common cathode case for space-efficient designs
• High reliability qualification meeting JEDEC standards for demanding environments
• Lead-free construction fully compliant with RoHS directives and free of halogens and antimony

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable dual supply rails
• Over-voltage protection stages in signal conditioning paths
• Clamping applications in automated assembly compatible PCB layouts

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels or direct manufacturer engagement. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required commercial grade specifications. Ensure packaging details align with automated insertion requirements. Validate compliance documentation against current regulatory standards before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a matched pair of Zener diodes is required in a minimal footprint. The common cathode arrangement simplifies circuit topology compared to discrete solutions. Evaluate thermal resistance constraints relative to the 300 mW dissipation limit. Consider the ±5% voltage matching tolerance between the two internal diodes for precision applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23C series of dual surface mount Zener diodes produced by Diodes Incorporated. The series spans various voltage ratings from 2.7 V to 51 V within the same SOT-23 form factor. The -7-F suffix indicates commercial grade qualification and tape-and-reel packaging suitable for high-volume manufacturing processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other DZ23C36 variants such as DZ23C36-7 without the F suffix if reel packaging is not critical. Automotive qualified equivalents are available in the AZ23 series or Q-suffix parts from the same manufacturer family.
