• Clamping applications in low-power electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and manufacturer part number against official MCC documentation before procurement. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer. Ensure the component matches the required voltage and package specifications for the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode Zener array is required in an SOT-23 package. Verify that the 6.8 V nominal voltage and 300 mW power rating align with the circuit's operational needs. Check the Zener impedance and leakage current specifications against the system's precision and noise requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DZ23C series of Zener diode arrays from Micro Commercial Components. It shares the SOT-23-3 footprint with other variants in the family, differing primarily in Zener voltage values and internal configuration. The series provides compact solutions for multi-voltage reference or protection tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the dual common cathode configuration, SOT-23 package, and 6.8 V Zener voltage. Verify equivalent power dissipation and impedance characteristics. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering identical pinouts and electrical specifications for compatibility.
