BZD17C15P RVG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BZD17C15P RVG is a 15 V, 800 mW Zener diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation in Sub SMA surface mount packaging. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility within the Zener diode category. Alternative part numbers may be required due to inventory availability, packaging format preferences, or specific manufacturing qualifications for end-use applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of Zener diodes is determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters: nominal Zener voltage (15 V), maximum power dissipation (800 mW), package type (DO-219AB), mounting configuration (Surface Mount), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Tolerance variations and operating temperature ranges are noted where they differ from the main part. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) represents a logistical distinction without impact on electrical performance or board-level compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain electrical equivalence at the 15 V, 800 mW specification level and are packaged in DO-219AB surface mount configuration. Selection among these alternatives is based on the following criteria:

BZD17C15P R3G is a direct parametric equivalent from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation with improved tolerance (±5% versus ±6%) and identical operating temperature range. This part is suitable for applications where tighter voltage tolerance is beneficial and packaging format (Cut Tape) is compatible with assembly processes.

BZD17C15P-E3-08 from Vishay General Semiconductor maintains core electrical specifications with operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. This part is appropriate for applications where the upper temperature limit of 150°C is sufficient and Vishay sourcing is preferred.

BZD27C15P-HE3-08 and BZD27C15P-M3-08 from Vishay General Semiconductor extend the operating temperature range to -65°C to 175°C. The BZD27C15P-HE3-08 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive-grade applications. Both parts support wider temperature extremes compared to the main part.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), matching the regulatory and environmental requirements of the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BZD17C15P R3G be used as a direct replacement for BZD17C15P RVG?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation with identical nominal Zener voltage (15 V), maximum power (800 mW), impedance (10 Ohms), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C). The primary difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) and tolerance specification (±5% versus ±6%). The tighter tolerance of BZD17C15P R3G provides improved voltage accuracy.

Q: What is the difference between BZD17C15P-E3-08 and BZD27C15P variants?

A: BZD17C15P-E3-08 is manufactured by Vishay and maintains the BZD17 base series designation. BZD27C15P-HE3-08 and BZD27C15P-M3-08 are from the BZD27 series, also by Vishay. All three maintain 15 V nominal Zener voltage and 800 mW power rating. The BZD27 variants extend the lower operating temperature limit to -65°C (versus -55°C for BZD17C15P-E3-08). The BZD27C15P-HE3-08 includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification.

Q: Are there packaging compatibility considerations when substituting these parts?

A: All substitute parts use DO-219AB package in surface mount configuration, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility on PCB layouts designed for the BZD17C15P RVG. Packaging format differences (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) affect supply chain and assembly logistics but do not impact board-level performance or footprint.

Q: Which substitute part is suitable for automotive applications?

A: BZD27C15P-HE3-08 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is rated for -65°C to 175°C operating temperature. This part is specified for automotive-grade Zener diode requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet ROHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), matching the regulatory status of the main part BZD17C15P RVG.
