DZ23C36-HE3-08

Overview

The Vishay DZ23C36-HE3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode in the DZ23 series, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a standard tolerance of ±5 %. The device operates at a test current of 2 mA and features a maximum reverse leakage current of 50 nA at 27 V. Dynamic resistance is specified at 87 Ω under these conditions. It is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications, supports a junction temperature up to 150 °C, and offers ESD protection exceeding 8 kV via the human body model.

Feature Summary

• AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive reliability standards
• ESD capability exceeding 8 kV (HBM) and 800 V (MM)
• RoHS-compliant HE3 technology for commercial and automotive use

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable regulation
• Overvoltage protection in automotive electronic modules
• Clamping applications in signal processing paths

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the specific suffix requirements for your region and tape configuration. Confirm AEC-Q101 qualification status if automotive compliance is mandatory. Ensure the component meets RoHS directives before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a 36 V Zener voltage with ±5 % tolerance is required in a compact SOT-23 footprint. Consider the 2 mA test current and 87 Ω dynamic resistance for circuit design accuracy. Verify thermal dissipation limits based on the specific PCB layout and ambient operating conditions.

Part Context

This component 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, all graded according to the international E24 standard. The DZ23C36 variant specifically targets applications needing precise 36 V regulation within the common SOT-23 form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay DZ23 series parts with identical voltage ratings but different suffixes for packaging or qualification. Cross-brand replacements must match the SOT-23 package, 36 V nominal voltage, ±5 % tolerance, and power dissipation capabilities.
