DZ23C36HE3-TP

Overview

The DZ23C36HE3-TP is a dual Zener diode in a common cathode configuration, housed in an SOT-23 package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a tolerance range of 34.20 V to 37.80 V at a test current of 5.0 mA. The device features a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW and a thermal resistance of 417°C/W from junction to ambient. Electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance of 90 Ω at the test current and a reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 27.0 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diodes integrated into a single common cathode case for space-saving designs.
• Tight voltage matching between both diodes with a delta Vz of less than or equal to 5%.
• Qualified for automotive applications under AEC-Q101 standards.
• Halogen-free construction with epoxy meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Applications

• Automotive electronic circuits requiring AEC-Q101 qualified components.
• Voltage reference generation in precision analog signal conditioning.
• Overvoltage protection for sensitive low-power semiconductor inputs.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by purchasing exclusively from Micro Commercial Components directly or their authorized distributors. Counterfeit parts pose significant risks; unauthorized sources do not provide warranty coverage. Ensure ordering suffixes match specifications, as they indicate compliance attributes such as RoHS status rather than functional changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a matched pair of Zener diodes is required in a compact surface-mount footprint. The 300 mW power rating suits low-current regulation tasks. Verify that the 36 V breakdown voltage aligns with circuit requirements and that the SOT-23 package dimensions fit the board layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23C series, which covers Zener voltages from 2.4 V to 47 V in the SOT-23 package. All devices in this series share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics while varying only in electrical breakdown parameters. The HE3 designation indicates Halogen-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing processes.

Replacement Considerations

Other members of the DZ23C series (e.g., DZ23C33HE3-TP, DZ23C39HE3-TP) offer identical packaging and thermal profiles with different voltage ratings. Cross-referencing requires confirming that the alternative voltage matches the specific circuit design needs without altering the physical assembly.
