DZ23C6V2-G3-18

Overview

The DZ23C6V2-G3-18 is a silicon planar Zener diode from the Vishay DZ23-G series, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a standard tolerance of ±5 %. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and features a dynamic resistance of 10 Ω and a reverse leakage current of 3 μA maximum. It supports a power dissipation of up to 500 mW and functions within an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Silicon planar construction for reliable small-signal regulation
• Graded Zener voltages aligned with international E24 standards
• ESD protection capability exceeding 8 kV via human body model

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable low-voltage biasing
• Overvoltage protection stages in signal conditioning paths
• Clamping applications in portable electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the specific voltage and tape configuration required for production. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details directly from the manufacturer's documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6.2 V reference is needed in a compact SOT-23 footprint. Ensure the application current remains near the 5 mA test point to maintain accuracy within the specified ±5 % tolerance band.

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, offering standardized grading across multiple packages including SOT-23.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other DZ23C6V2 variants such as the -E3 or -HE3 suffixes if lead-free or halogen-free specifications are mandatory. Verify electrical equivalence against alternative manufacturers' SOT-23 Zener arrays.
