**Diodes Incorporated** · Zener Diodes · SOT-23

DZ23C15-7-F from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A1 | passive | Anode of Zener diode 1 (bottom-left lead in the top view), which has a nominal Zener voltage of 13.8 to 15.6V at IZT = 5.0mA for the DZ23C15. |
| 2 | A2 | passive | Anode of Zener diode 2 (bottom-right lead in the top view), which has a nominal Zener voltage of 13.8 to 15.6V at IZT = 5.0mA for the DZ23C15. |
| 3 | K | passive | Common cathode of both Zener diodes (single top lead in the top view), with total power dissipation limited to 300mW. |
