AZ23C24-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AZ23C24-TP is an active Zener diode array manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for surface mount applications in SOT-23 packaging. This component functions as a 1 Pair Common Anode Zener diode array with a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V and maximum power dissipation of 300 mW. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), making it suitable for standard manufacturing environments. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary manufacturer part becomes unavailable or when supply chain optimization is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AZ23C24-TP is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part AZ23C24-7-F meets all critical substitution criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - Zener (Nom): 24 V
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power - Max: 300 mW
• Impedance (Max): 80 Ohms
• Configuration: 1 Pair Common Anode

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: TO-236-3, SC-59, SOT-23-3
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Supplier Device Package: SOT-23 / SOT-23-3

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The substitute part shares the same base product number (AZ23C24) and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AZ23C24-7-F manufactured by Diodes Incorporated is a direct substitute for the AZ23C24-TP. Both parts are active products with identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and regulatory compliance status. The substitute part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards.

Selection between the two parts should be based on availability, lead time, and supply chain requirements. The AZ23C24-7-F currently maintains higher inventory levels (53,300 pcs) compared to the AZ23C24-TP (3,611 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AZ23C24-7-F be used as a direct replacement for AZ23C24-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical parameters (24 V Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW maximum power, 80 Ohms maximum impedance), configuration (1 Pair Common Anode), and mechanical packaging (SOT-23-3). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature specifications between these parts?

A: The AZ23C24-TP does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The AZ23C24-7-F specifies -65°C to 150°C. For applications requiring confirmed temperature performance, the AZ23C24-7-F provides explicit operating range documentation.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited). They are suitable for equivalent manufacturing and environmental applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number suffixes (-TP vs. -7-F)?

A: The suffixes indicate different manufacturer designations and packaging specifications. The -TP suffix denotes Tape & Reel packaging from Micro Commercial Co, while -7-F denotes the Diodes Incorporated variant. Both use identical SOT-23-3 package specifications and are functionally equivalent.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts use the same SOT-23-3 surface mount package with identical pin configuration and footprint. They are interchangeable in PCB assembly processes without requiring design or layout modifications.
