DZ23C5V6-7-F

Overview

The DZ23C5V6-7-F is a dual Zener diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It features a common cathode configuration with two silicon junctions within a single molded plastic case. The nominal Zener voltage is 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%, operating within a range of 5.2 V to 6.0 V at a test current of 5.0 mA. Maximum power dissipation is rated at 300 mW, and the device supports an operating temperature range from -65°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 40 Ω at 1 kHz and a typical temperature coefficient of +0.020 %/°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diodes integrated in a single common cathode configuration for space-efficient circuit design.
• Manufactured using lead-free, halogen-free, and antimony-free green molding compound compliant with RoHS directives.
• Designed for automated insertion processes with standardized SOT-23 packaging dimensions.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable dual supply rails.
• Transient voltage suppression in low-power signal lines.
• Clamping applications in portable electronic devices.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required qualification level. The standard commercial version utilizes the -7-F suffix, while automotive-grade variants require the Q-7-F suffix. Confirm compliance with specific environmental standards such as RoHS 3 and REACH requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact dual Zener solution is needed for voltage regulation or protection. Ensure the 5.6 V nominal voltage aligns with circuit requirements. Consider the thermal resistance of 417 °C/W and apply appropriate derating if ambient temperatures exceed standard operating ranges.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23C series of 300mW dual surface mount Zener diodes. The series spans various voltage ratings from 2.7 V to 51 V, all sharing the same SOT-23 footprint and common cathode architecture. The -F suffix indicates tape and reel packaging suitable for high-volume automated assembly.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives include the AZ23 series for common anode configurations. Other manufacturers offering equivalent SOT-23 dual Zener arrays should be evaluated based on matching electrical parameters and package dimensions.
