DZ23C5V6-E3-08

Overview

The DZ23C5V6-E3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode from the Vishay DZ23 series, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5 %. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and features a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 µA at 1 V. Dynamic resistance is specified at 40 Ω (max) at the test current. It supports a power dissipation of up to 500 mW when mounted on a lead-clamped FR-4 board, or 300 mW on a standard footprint. The component functions within an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Silicon planar construction for stable voltage regulation
• ESD protection capability exceeding 8 kV via human body model
• RoHS-compliant commercial grade material categorization

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring low-profile packaging
• General-purpose voltage clamping and protection
• Biasing networks in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify compliance requirements against project specifications before procurement. Confirm that the E3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance without halogenated flame retardants. Ensure the ordering code matches the required tape-and-reel quantity of 3000 units per reel. Validate that the commercial grade designation meets the thermal and environmental standards of the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5.6 V reference is needed in an SOT-23 form factor. Consider the 40 Ω dynamic resistance limit for noise-sensitive designs. Verify that the 5 mA test current aligns with the circuit's biasing constraints. Evaluate the -55 °C to +150 °C operating range against ambient conditions. Compare power dissipation limits based on the specific PCB copper area available for heat sinking.

Part Context

This part 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 using standardized E24 grading. All devices share the same SOT-23 physical dimensions and pinout configuration. The series offers both commercial grade and AEC-Q101 qualified variants for automotive applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 5.6 V nominal voltage, SOT-23 package, and ±5 % tolerance. Verify equivalent dynamic resistance and leakage current specifications. Check if alternative manufacturers offer identical marking codes for automated assembly compatibility.
