QZX363C15-7-G

Overview

The QZX363C15-7-G is a quad common anode Zener diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features four independent Zener diodes integrated within a single SOT-363-6 surface-mount package. The device provides a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with a tolerance of 6.12% at a test current of 5 mA. It supports a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW and operates across an extended temperature range from -65°C to +150°C. The component exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA and a Zener impedance of 30 Ohms, ensuring stable voltage regulation in compact electronic designs.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent Zener diodes into a single quad common anode configuration for space-efficient circuit design.
• Provides precise voltage regulation with a nominal 15 V output and tight tolerance characteristics.
• Engineered for high thermal stability and reliable operation across extreme industrial temperature ranges.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring multiple regulated rails
• Over-voltage protection networks in signal conditioning paths
• Clamping applications in multi-channel data acquisition systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation during procurement, as variations such as -7-F or -7-G may exist within the same family. Confirm RoHS compliance status and AEC-Q101 qualification requirements against the project specifications. Ensure the selected distributor sources genuine components directly from authorized channels to guarantee authenticity and traceability. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history to confirm compatibility with existing design parameters.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad Zener array is required in a minimal footprint SOT-363 package. The 15 V nominal voltage suits applications needing moderate reference levels. Consider the 300 mW power rating and -65°C to +150°C operating range for harsh environments. Evaluate the 30 Ohm impedance and 100 nA leakage specs against noise sensitivity requirements. Compare against dual or single Zener alternatives if fewer channels suffice.
