AZ23C36-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AZ23C36-7 is a Zener Diode Array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, configured as a 1 Pair Common Anode device with a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V and maximum power dissipation of 300 mW. The component is housed in a SOT-23-3 surface mount package and operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

The AZ23C36-7 is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical equivalence across all critical parameters including Zener voltage, power rating, impedance, and package configuration.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AZ23C36-7 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

Voltage - Zener (Nom): 36 V
Tolerance: ±5%
Power - Max: 300 mW
Impedance (Max): 90 Ohms
Configuration: 1 Pair Common Anode
Package / Case: TO-236-3, SC-59, SOT-23-3
Mounting Type: Surface Mount

All identified substitute parts maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging format (bulk versus tape & reel) does not affect electrical equivalence and represents a logistical distinction only.

The AZ23C36-TP is manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and maintains electrical equivalence across all specified parameters including Zener voltage, tolerance, power rating, impedance, and package configuration. This part is in active production with 4,007 pcs in stock. The AZ23C36-TP carries ROHS3 compliance certification and is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Operating temperature range is not specified in available documentation. This part represents an alternative source option from a different manufacturer while maintaining full electrical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AZ23C36-7-F be used as a direct replacement for the AZ23C36-7?

A: Yes. The AZ23C36-7-F maintains identical electrical parameters including 36 V Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW power rating, 90 Ohms maximum impedance, and 1 Pair Common Anode configuration. Both components use the SOT-23-3 package. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and regulatory compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between the AZ23C36-7 and AZ23C36-7-F?

A: The AZ23C36-7 and AZ23C36-7-F are electrically identical. The AZ23C36-7-F is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format suitable for automated assembly, whereas the AZ23C36-7 is supplied in bulk format. The AZ23C36-7-F is ROHS3 compliant while the AZ23C36-7 is non-compliant. The AZ23C36-7-F is currently in active production.

Q: Is the AZ23C36-TP compatible with designs using the AZ23C36-7?

A: Yes. The AZ23C36-TP maintains all critical electrical parameters: 36 V Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW power rating, 90 Ohms maximum impedance, and 1 Pair Common Anode configuration. The package type (SOT-23-3) is identical. The AZ23C36-TP is manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and is ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus Tape & Reel) is a logistical distinction only and does not affect electrical performance or component specifications. Both formats contain identical die and lead configurations.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: The AZ23C36-7-F and AZ23C36-TP are both ROHS3 compliant. The original AZ23C36-7 is non-compliant. Compliance status should be verified against specific application requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the AZ23C36-TP?

A: Operating temperature range for the AZ23C36-TP is not specified in available technical documentation. The AZ23C36-7 and AZ23C36-7-F both specify -65°C to 150°C operating range.
