Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The identified substitute parts for BZG04-13TR are BZG04-13-HM3-08 and BZG04-13-M3-08. Both substitutes share the same base product number (BZG04) and are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring design compatibility at the component family level. The substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

Common Electrical & Mechanical Parameters:

• Identical package designation: DO-214AC (SMA)
• Same mounting type: Surface Mount
• Shared manufacturer and product family lineage
• Identical RoHS3 compliance status
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)
• Same REACH and ECCN classifications

Substitution Logic: Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status, addressing the obsolescence of the original BZG04-13TR. The substitutes maintain automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) and are available in tape and reel packaging for production environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BZG04-13-HM3-08 and BZG04-13-M3-08 are qualified substitutes for the obsolete BZG04-13TR based on shared package geometry, mounting technology, and automotive-grade compliance certifications. The substitutes maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL ratings, and AEC-Q101 qualification status required for automotive applications.

Selection between the two substitute parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain logistics, as both parts are functionally equivalent within the BZG04-M series. BZG04-13-M3-08 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, with 799 pieces currently in stock. BZG04-13-HM3-08 is an upgrade variant with 617 pieces available.

Both substitutes are active products with current manufacturing status, ensuring long-term supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BZG04-13-HM3-08 and BZG04-13-M3-08 be used interchangeably with BZG04-13TR?

A: Both parts share identical package designations (DO-214AC, SMA), mounting types (Surface Mount), and automotive compliance certifications (AEC-Q101, ROHS3). They are functionally equivalent substitutes for the obsolete BZG04-13TR in applications requiring the same physical footprint and electrical performance envelope.

Q: What is the difference between BZG04-13-HM3-08 and BZG04-13-M3-08?

A: Both parts are members of the BZG04-M series with identical electrical specifications and package designations. The primary distinction is inventory availability and supply chain designation. BZG04-13-M3-08 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging format as the original?

A: The substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The original BZG04-13TR packaging format is not specified in the available data.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain automotive-grade qualification?

A: Yes. Both BZG04-13-HM3-08 and BZG04-13-M3-08 carry automotive-grade designation with AEC-Q101 qualification, identical to the original part. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Why is the original BZG04-13TR classified as obsolete?

A: The BZG04-13TR has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The active substitute parts within the BZG04-M series provide equivalent functionality and are recommended for all new designs and production applications.
