Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BZX79-B68,113 are identified based on electrical equivalence and mechanical compatibility. The substitution criteria are strictly limited to the following parameters:

• Voltage - Zener (Nom) (Vz): 68 V
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Power - Max: 400 mW
• Impedance (Max) (Zzt): 240 Ohms
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 50 nA @ 47.6 V
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 900 mV @ 10 mA
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 200°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DO-204AH, DO-35, Axial
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these parameters are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. Packaging format differences (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) do not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BZX79-B68,113 and BZX79-B68,143 are Active products manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. and maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements:

• BZX79-B68,113 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.
• BZX79-B68,143 is supplied in Cut Tape format, suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, and lower-volume applications.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications. The choice between these equivalents depends solely on procurement format and assembly methodology, not on electrical performance or functional capability.
