Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the required voltage tolerance and packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the component meets specific environmental operating conditions. Cross-reference datasheet revision numbers to guarantee accurate electrical parameters during procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required nominal voltage and tolerance specifications. Evaluate thermal management requirements to ensure power dissipation limits are not exceeded under operating conditions. Consider package dimensions and mounting style compatibility with the target printed circuit board layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23 series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series offers a wide range of Zener voltages from 2.2 V to 75 V, all graded according to the E24 standard. These devices are designed for general-purpose voltage regulation and transient suppression in compact electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 36 V nominal voltage, ±5 % tolerance, and SOT-23 package. Verify equivalent power dissipation ratings and thermal resistance values. Ensure any substitute component maintains similar dynamic resistance and leakage current characteristics for circuit compatibility.
