Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part selection in the Diodes, Zener category is based strictly on the following key parameters: nominal Zener voltage, tolerance, maximum impedance, reverse leakage current at specified voltage, maximum forward voltage at specified current, operating temperature range, mounting type, and package/case. Substitutes listed meet or exceed these criteria with no deviation in supplied details.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CDLL5242A and CDLL5242B are active products in the Diodes, Zener category, supplied in identical DO-213AB packages and exhibiting matched electrical parameters. Neither part is RoHS compliant, and both have a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 1 (unlimited). The substitute CDLL5242B offers a tighter tolerance (±5%) while meeting all other specified requirements and certifications as per provided data.
