**TECH PUBLIC** · Zener Diodes · SOD-523

TPZ12VC-523 from TECH PUBLIC, in a SOD-523. 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 | K | passive | Cathode; the datasheet gives the TPZ12VC zener voltage as 11.40 V min, 12.00 V typ and 12.60 V max at IZT = 5 mA. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode; forward voltage is 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA, and power dissipation is limited to 150 mW. |
