DZ23C5V6-G3-08

Overview

The DZ23C5V6-G3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode from the Vishay DZ23-G series, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a standard tolerance of ±5 %. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and provides a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 μA at 1 V. Dynamic resistance is specified at 40 Ω under these conditions. It supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C and offers ESD protection exceeding 8 kV via the human body model.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for robust voltage regulation
• Provides high electrostatic discharge immunity suitable for sensitive circuits
• Complies with international E24 standard voltage grading

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable low-voltage rails
• Protection against transient overvoltage events in signal lines
• Clamping applications in general-purpose electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix to confirm reel dimensions and quantity. The '-08' designation indicates units are supplied on an 8 mm tape wound on a 7-inch reel with a minimum order quantity of 15,000 units. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS status directly with the manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 5.6 V reference is needed within a compact SOT-23 footprint. Ensure the application current does not exceed the 5 mA test condition to maintain accuracy. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics if power dissipation nears the 300 mW limit on standard FR-4 boards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23-G series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.2 V to 75 V, all sharing the same physical SOT-23 package form factor. The G3 suffix denotes green commercial grade materials compliant with environmental directives.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 5.6 V nominal voltage, SOT-23-3 package, and ±5 % tolerance. Verify that alternative components meet the same dynamic resistance and leakage current specifications to ensure circuit performance parity.
