Engineering Selection Recommendations
DFLZ20-TP is a direct substitute manufactured by Micro Commercial Co with active product status. This part maintains identical zener voltage, power rating, and tolerance specifications. The SOD-123F package variant is mechanically compatible with SOD-123 footprints on PCBs. DFLZ20-TP exhibits lower impedance (15 Ohms versus 22 Ohms) and reduced reverse leakage current (1 µA versus 5 µA), representing improved electrical performance characteristics. ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating ensure full compatibility with the original part's environmental and handling requirements. Active product status provides assured long-term availability.
MM1W20 is a parametric equivalent manufactured by NextGen Components with active product status. This part matches the zener voltage, power rating, tolerance, impedance, and operating temperature range of the original 1N4747AW-TP. The MM1W20 is supplied in SOD-123 packaging, identical to the original part. RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating satisfy environmental requirements. The MM1W20 series designation indicates a dedicated product line for 1 W zener diodes. Active product status and high inventory availability (21,106 pieces) support production continuity.
Both substitute parts are suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring 20 V, 1 W zener diode functionality. Selection between DFLZ20-TP and MM1W20 depends on manufacturer preference, supply chain considerations, and specific circuit performance requirements related to impedance and leakage current specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can DFLZ20-TP be used as a direct replacement for 1N4747AW-TP?
A: Yes. DFLZ20-TP meets all critical electrical specifications: 20 V zener voltage, 1 W power rating, ±5% tolerance, and -55°C to 150°C operating range. The SOD-123F package is mechanically compatible with SOD-123 PCB footprints. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating.
Q: What is the difference between SOD-123 and SOD-123F packages?
A: SOD-123F is a variant of the SOD-123 package family. Both are surface mount packages with compatible PCB footprints and lead configurations. The "F" designation indicates a specific manufacturing variant. Mechanical compatibility allows use of SOD-123F components in SOD-123 footprints.
Q: How do impedance differences affect circuit performance?
A: Impedance (Zzt) affects the dynamic resistance of the zener diode. DFLZ20-TP has lower impedance (15 Ohms) compared to 1N4747AW-TP and MM1W20 (22 Ohms). Lower impedance results in better voltage regulation under load changes. For most applications, both values are acceptable; however, circuits requiring tighter voltage regulation may benefit from the lower impedance of DFLZ20-TP.
Q: Why is reverse leakage current specified at different voltage levels?
A: Reverse leakage current is voltage-dependent. The 1N4747AW-TP specifies 5 µA @ 15.2 V, while DFLZ20-TP specifies 1 µA @ 15 V. These measurements are taken at slightly different reverse bias voltages. Lower leakage current indicates better diode quality and reduced power dissipation in standby conditions.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. 1N4747AW-TP is ROHS3 compliant. DFLZ20-TP is ROHS3 compliant. MM1W20 is RoHS compliant. All parts meet environmental and hazardous substance restrictions for electronic components.
Q: What does MSL Level 1 mean for moisture sensitivity?
A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Components rated MSL 1 do not require special drying or moisture-barrier packaging. All three parts (1N4747AW-TP, DFLZ20-TP, and MM1W20) are rated MSL 1, ensuring identical handling and storage requirements.
Q: Why is 1N4747AW-TP marked as obsolete?
A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. DFLZ20-TP and MM1W20 are active products with ongoing manufacturing and supply availability. Using active substitute parts ensures long-term component availability for production and field service applications.
Q: Can MM1W20 be used interchangeably with DFLZ20-TP?
A: Yes, within the constraints of the specified parameters. Both parts provide 20 V, 1 W zener functionality with ±5% tolerance and -55°C to 150°C operating range. MM1W20 uses SOD-123 packaging (identical to the original), while DFLZ20-TP uses SOD-123F (compatible variant). Impedance differs slightly (22 Ohms versus 15 Ohms), which may affect voltage regulation performance in specific circuit designs.
