Product details
Overview
DZ23C43-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a dual common-cathode 43V Zener diode pair in SOT23 package, rated for 300mW total power dissipation, with ±5% matching between zener voltages and 100Ω typical zener impedance at 5mA. It provides precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained dual-rail protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DZ23C43-7-F datasheet, DZ23C43-7-F pinout, DZ23C43-7-F application, or DZ23C43-7-F equivalent, this device supports matched dual-voltage regulation, low-temperature-coefficient clamping (±0.11%/°C), and JEDEC-qualified reliability in commercial-grade SOT23 assembly.
Technical Context
This dual Zener operates in common-cathode configuration: pins 1 and 3 are anodes, pin 2 is shared cathode. Each diode exhibits nominal 43V breakdown (40–46V range) with 32V minimum reverse voltage and 700Ω maximum knee impedance at 1mA.
Thermal resistance is 417°C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 PCB; derating begins above 40°C ambient. The device meets JEDEC high-reliability standards and is fully RoHS-compliant with halogen- and antimony-free "Green" molding compound.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24-bit ADC inputs from ESD-induced overvoltage in factory automation sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail clamping element limiting differential input swing to ±43V while preserving common-mode integrity. Use Value: Matched VZ ensures symmetrical clipping, minimizing DC offset error and harmonic distortion in precision measurement paths. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding CC1/CC2 communication lines against transient surges during hot-plug events in USB-C PD controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage clamp referenced to ground, absorbing ±20kV HBM ESD pulses without latch-up. Use Value: Common-cathode architecture allows single-point grounding and eliminates need for two separate Zener footprints near high-speed data lanes. |
| Programmable Logic Controller I/O Protection | DC-DC Converter Feedback Divider Stabilization |
Use Scenario: Shielding 24V digital input modules from field-wiring induced transients in PLC backplanes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end overvoltage suppressor placed before optocoupler input, limiting voltage to safe isolation barrier levels. Use Value: 300mW rating sustains repeated 100ns/1A surge events without degradation; SOT23 fits dense I/O header layouts. |
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback node voltage in isolated flyback converters using TL431-based regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt reference supplementing TL431, improving loop stability under light-load conditions. Use Value: +0.11%/°C TC and matched dual Zeners enable tighter output voltage tolerance across –40°C to +85°C operating range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX79-C43,113 | Single 43V Zener in DO-35 glass package; no dual configuration or VZ matching spec | Requires two devices and board area for dual-rail use; lacks common-cathode convenience | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher pulse power (500mW) is required |
| DZ23C47-7-F | 47V nominal (44–50V range); +0.11%/°C TC; otherwise identical SOT23 dual-common-cathode construction | Higher clamping threshold; suitable where 43V is marginal for system overvoltage margin | Choose for designs needing 47V standoff with same footprint, thermal, and layout compatibility |
Compared with BZX79-C43,113 and DZ23C47-7-F, DZ23C43-7-F uniquely delivers matched 43V dual-zener performance in a single SOT23 footprint-enabling compact, thermally efficient, and symmetric voltage limiting unattainable with discrete or non-matched alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DZ23C43-7-F?
The device is rated for 300mW total power dissipation across both Zener diodes. Derating begins linearly above 40°C ambient temperature, reaching zero power at 150°C junction temperature. This rating assumes mounting on FR4 PCB with Diodes' recommended pad layout (2.0mm × 0.8mm solder pads).
How is the common-cathode configuration used in circuit design?
Pin 2 serves as the shared cathode node, typically tied to system ground or a stable reference potential. Pins 1 and 3 connect independently to protected nodes-enabling simultaneous clamping of two signals (e.g., differential pairs or complementary rails) to the same reference level without cross-coupling.
Does DZ23C43-7-F meet automotive qualification requirements?
No-DZ23C43-7-F is a commercial-grade part qualified to JEDEC high-reliability standards but not AEC-Q101. For automotive applications, Diodes offers the Q-suffix variant DZ23C43Q-7-F, which undergoes PPAP, is manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities, and meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements.
What is the significance of the "≤5% ΔVZ" specification?
This indicates the maximum absolute difference in nominal Zener voltage between the two integrated diodes under identical test conditions (IZT = 5mA, TA = 25°C). It enables predictable, symmetrical clamping behavior in differential circuits-critical for minimizing common-mode error in precision analog signal chains.
