GSAZ23C5V6

Overview

The GSAZ23C5V6 is a dual surface mount Zener diode from the GSAZ23Cxxx series manufactured by Good-Ark Semiconductor. It features a common anode configuration within an SOT-23 package. The nominal Zener voltage is 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%. Electrical characteristics include a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW, a test current (IZT) of 5 mA, and a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 1.0 Ω at IZT. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and supports storage temperatures from -65°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diodes integrated in a single common anode configuration for space-efficient circuit design.
• Tight voltage tolerance of ±5% ensures consistent performance across manufacturing batches.
• Moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL Class 1) compatibility facilitates standard automated assembly processes.

Applications

• General voltage regulation circuits
• Mobile and handheld electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation as Good-Ark Semiconductor when sourcing this component. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel packaging format. Ensure the part number corresponds exactly to the 5.6 V variant within the GSAZ23Cxxx series to avoid confusion with other voltage ratings in the family.

Selection Notes

Select the GSAZ23C5V6 when a dual Zener solution with a common anode is required in an SOT-23 footprint. The 300 mW power rating suits low-power signal conditioning tasks. Verify that the 5.6 V breakdown voltage aligns with the target circuit requirements and that the ±5% tolerance meets the system's precision specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GSAZ23Cxxx series, which offers a wide selection of Zener voltages ranging from 2.4 V to 51 V. All devices in this series share the same SOT-23 package dimensions and thermal characteristics, allowing for standardized board layouts across different voltage reference designs.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay AZ23C5V6 or Diodes Incorporated DZ23C5V6 for pin-compatible alternatives. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same common anode configuration and meet the 300 mW power dissipation requirement.
