BZD17C13P R3G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BZD17C13P R3G is a 13 V, 800 mW Zener diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation in Sub SMA surface mount packaging. This component is classified as an active product and is RoHS3 compliant. Zener diodes of this specification are used in voltage regulation and protection circuits where precise voltage reference and power dissipation characteristics are required. Substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements that align with alternative manufacturer offerings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BZD17C13P R3G is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All substitute parts must meet the following criteria:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Voltage - Zener (Nominal): 13 V
• Power - Maximum: 800 mW
• Impedance (Maximum): 10 Ohms
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 2 µA @ 10 V
• Voltage - Forward (Maximum) @ If: 1.2 V @ 200 mA
• Package / Case: DO-219AB
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute parts listed below are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and belong to the BZD27C series. These components satisfy all electrical specifications and packaging requirements equivalent to the main part. Differences in operating temperature range and optional automotive qualification do not preclude substitution when application requirements permit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—BZD27C13P-E3-08, BZD27C13P-HE3-08, and BZD27C13P-M3-08—are functionally equivalent to the BZD17C13P R3G based on electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

BZD27C13P-E3-08: Standard industrial-grade Zener diode with equivalent electrical performance and extended lower operating temperature limit (-65°C versus -55°C). Suitable for general-purpose applications requiring 13 V regulation at 800 mW dissipation.

BZD27C13P-HE3-08: Automotive-qualified variant meeting AEC-Q101 standards. This part carries additional qualification for automotive applications and extended temperature performance. Selection of this variant is appropriate when automotive-grade reliability and traceability are required.

BZD27C13P-M3-08: Standard industrial-grade variant from the BZD27-M series with equivalent electrical specifications and extended lower operating temperature limit. Functionally interchangeable with BZD27C13P-E3-08 for non-automotive applications.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and active product status. The extended operating temperature range (-65°C lower limit) of Vishay variants provides additional thermal margin compared to the main part specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BZD27C13P-E3-08, BZD27C13P-HE3-08, and BZD27C13P-M3-08 be used interchangeably with BZD17C13P R3G?

A: Yes, all three substitute parts meet the electrical and mechanical specifications of the BZD17C13P R3G. They share identical Zener voltage (13 V), maximum power dissipation (800 mW), impedance (10 Ohms), reverse leakage current (2 µA @ 10 V), forward voltage (1.2 V @ 200 mA), and package type (DO-219AB). Selection depends on application requirements and qualification needs.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is automotive qualification. BZD27C13P-HE3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications, while BZD27C13P-E3-08 and BZD27C13P-M3-08 are standard industrial-grade components. All three have extended lower operating temperature limits (-65°C) compared to the main part (-55°C).

Q: Are there any package compatibility issues when substituting these parts?

A: No. All substitute parts use the DO-219AB package, which is mechanically and electrically compatible with the Sub SMA package designation of the main part. Surface mount assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), matching the environmental and regulatory status of the BZD17C13P R3G.

Q: Should I select the automotive-qualified variant (BZD27C13P-HE3-08) for non-automotive applications?

A: Selection of the automotive-qualified variant is not required for non-automotive applications. BZD27C13P-E3-08 and BZD27C13P-M3-08 provide equivalent electrical performance for standard industrial use. Automotive qualification adds cost and is necessary only when automotive-grade traceability and reliability standards are specified.

Q: What is the impact of the extended operating temperature range on substitution?

A: The substitute parts operate from -65°C to 175°C, compared to the main part's -55°C to 175°C range. This extended lower temperature limit provides additional thermal margin and does not restrict substitution. Applications operating within the main part's temperature range are fully supported by all substitute parts.
