DZ23C3V6HE3-TP

Overview

The DZ23C3V6HE3-TP is a dual Zener diode array manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC) in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It features two common cathode Zener diodes with a nominal voltage of 3.6 V and a tolerance of ±5%. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW, a test current of 5 mA, and a maximum Zener impedance of 95 Ohms at the test current. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and is qualified under AEC-Q101 standards for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diodes integrated into a single compact SOT-23 package
• Common cathode configuration for simplified circuit design
• AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability requirements
• Tight voltage matching between internal diodes with delta Vz ≤5%

Applications

• Automotive electronic circuits requiring voltage reference or protection
• Portable devices utilizing space-constrained surface mount layouts
• General purpose voltage regulation and clamping applications

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized MCC distributors to avoid counterfeit risks. Confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free finish specifications match project requirements. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level 1 guidelines before soldering. Review datasheet revisions for any updates to electrical characteristics or packaging details prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode Zener array is required in an SOT-23 footprint. Verify that the 3.6 V nominal voltage and 300 mW power rating suit the specific circuit load. Consider the 95 Ohm impedance value for dynamic regulation needs. Ensure the operating temperature range covers the intended environmental conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23C series of dual Zener diodes from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage options ranging from 2.4 V to 47 V in the same SOT-23 package. The HE3 suffix indicates Halogen-free and RoHS compliant construction. The TP suffix specifies tape and reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must maintain the SOT-23-3 package, 3.6 V nominal voltage, and dual common cathode configuration. Verify equivalent power dissipation and impedance characteristics. Cross-reference AEC-Q101 qualification if automotive use is required.
