Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BZD17C68P RUG are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - Zener (Nominal): 68 V
• Power - Maximum: 800 mW
• Impedance (Maximum): 80 Ohms
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 1 µA @ 51 V
• Voltage - Forward (Maximum) @ If: 1.2 V @ 200 mA
• Package / Case: DO-219AB
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical performance specifications and package compatibility. The substitute parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and operate across an extended lower temperature range (-65°C minimum versus -55°C for the main part), providing equivalent or superior performance in thermal operating conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—BZD27C68P-E3-08, BZD27C68P-E3-18, and BZD27C68P-M3-08—are direct functional equivalents to the BZD17C68P RUG. Selection among these alternatives is determined by packaging and inventory requirements rather than electrical performance differences.

BZD27C68P-E3-08: Supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging with 6,200 units in stock. Suitable for applications requiring smaller order quantities or mixed component procurement.

BZD27C68P-E3-18: Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with 50,909 units in stock. Recommended for high-volume production runs and automated assembly processes requiring standard reel quantities.

BZD27C68P-M3-08: Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with 17,300 units in stock. Represents the BZD27-M series variant with equivalent electrical specifications and intermediate inventory availability.

All substitute parts maintain active product status, RoHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected classification. The extended operating temperature range (-65°C minimum) of substitute parts provides thermal margin beyond the main part specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BZD27C68P variants be used as direct replacements for BZD17C68P RUG?

A: Yes. All three BZD27C68P variants (E3-08, E3-18, and M3-08) are direct functional equivalents. They maintain identical electrical specifications including 68 V nominal Zener voltage, 800 mW maximum power dissipation, 80 Ohms maximum impedance, and identical forward and reverse leakage characteristics. Package compatibility is confirmed as DO-219AB for all parts.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute part numbers?

A: The three substitute parts differ only in packaging format and inventory availability. BZD27C68P-E3-08 is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format (6,200 units available). BZD27C68P-E3-18 is supplied in Tape & Reel format (50,909 units available). BZD27C68P-M3-08 is supplied in Tape & Reel format (17,300 units available). All three maintain identical electrical performance.

Q: Are there temperature range differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part BZD17C68P RUG operates from -55°C to 175°C. All three substitute parts operate from -65°C to 175°C. The extended lower temperature range of substitute parts provides additional thermal margin and does not restrict their use in applications designed for the main part.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. The main part and all three substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). All parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0050) classifications.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: BZD27C68P-E3-18 is recommended for high-volume production due to its Tape & Reel packaging format and highest inventory availability (50,909 units). This packaging format is optimized for automated assembly processes and standard production reel quantities.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All electrical parameters are identical: 68 V nominal Zener voltage, 800 mW maximum power, 80 Ohms maximum impedance, 1 µA reverse leakage at 51 V, and 1.2 V maximum forward voltage at 200 mA.
