DZ23C18-7-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 the first Zener diode (DZ23C18 VZ 16.8 to 19.1 V at IZT = 5.0 mA), with the cathode common to pin 3. |
| 2 | A2 | passive | Anode of the second Zener diode (DZ23C18 VZ 16.8 to 19.1 V at IZT = 5.0 mA), with the cathode common to pin 3. |
| 3 | K | passive | Common cathode of both Zener diodes, shown at the top of the device schematic (300 mW total power dissipation). |

- Symbol:
DZ23C18-7-F - Footprint:
Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23 - 3D model: SOT-23, generated from the KiCad footprint (body from the F.Fab outline, terminals on the pads, 1.025 mm tall, datasheet A, nominal). Neither the vendor nor KiCad ships a 3D model for this package, so the dimensions come from the datasheet drawing where it was read and are defaults otherwise (see provenance.model_3d_generated), not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
