DZ23C36-TP Zener Diode Array Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DZ23C36-TP is an active Zener diode array manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, configured as a 1 Pair Common Cathode device with a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V and maximum power dissipation of 300 mW. This component is packaged in SOT-23 surface mount configuration and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across manufacturers. Alternative sourcing becomes necessary to address inventory availability, supply chain continuity, or procurement preferences while maintaining identical functional performance in circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DZ23C36-TP is permissible when the following critical parameters remain constant across manufacturers:

• Voltage - Zener (Nominal): 36 V
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power - Maximum: 300 mW
• Impedance (Maximum): 90 Ohms
• Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode
• Package / Case: TO-236-3, SC-59, SOT-23-3
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The DZ23C36-7-F manufactured by Diodes Incorporated satisfies all substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance status. Packaging format differs between Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® for the primary part and Tape & Reel (TR) for the substitute, representing a procurement variation rather than a functional difference.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DZ23C36-TP and DZ23C36-7-F are active products with confirmed ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is determined by procurement requirements and supply chain considerations rather than functional performance differences.

The DZ23C36-TP is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging format with 998 pieces in current inventory. The DZ23C36-7-F is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format with 3227 pieces in current inventory. Both configurations are suitable for automated assembly processes. The choice between these parts should be based on packaging format compatibility with production equipment and inventory availability requirements.

All regulatory and compliance certifications are equivalent across both parts, including RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DZ23C36-7-F be used as a direct replacement for the DZ23C36-TP in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 36 V nominal Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW maximum power dissipation, and 90 Ohms maximum impedance. The 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration and SOT-23-3 package are mechanically and electrically compatible. Substitution does not require circuit redesign or validation.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® and Tape & Reel (TR) represent different procurement and handling formats for the same component. Both formats contain identical parts in SOT-23-3 packages suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. The selection between formats depends on production equipment compatibility and inventory management preferences.

Q: Are there any operating temperature differences between these parts?

A: The DZ23C36-TP does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The DZ23C36-7-F specifies an operating temperature range of -65°C to 150°C. Both parts are suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications. If operation outside standard temperature ranges is required, the DZ23C36-7-F with specified temperature ratings should be selected.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the DZ23C36-TP and DZ23C36-7-F are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0050) codes. Regulatory compliance is equivalent across both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the ±5% tolerance specification?

A: The ±5% tolerance indicates the acceptable variation in the nominal 36 V Zener voltage across the manufacturing range. Both parts maintain this tolerance specification, ensuring consistent voltage regulation performance across all units produced. This tolerance is critical for applications requiring precise voltage reference or protection circuits.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-volume production?

A: Yes. Both parts are surface mount components in identical SOT-23-3 packages with equivalent electrical specifications. They are compatible with standard automated assembly equipment. Production changeover between these parts requires only procurement and inventory management adjustments, with no modifications to assembly processes or circuit board designs.
