Electrical Characteristics:

• Zener Voltage (Nominal): 6.8 V
• Power Rating: 100 mW
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Reverse Leakage Current: 500 nA @ 3.5 V

Compliance & Environmental:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99
• HTSUS Code: 8541.10.0050

Product Status:

• SDZT15R6.8 maintains Active status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity

The substitution is valid where the GDZ8EPT2R6.8 was specified, provided the mechanical package compatibility (Surface Mount SMD0603) aligns with the application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SDZT15R6.8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete GDZ8EPT2R6.8. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 Compliant status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and regulatory requirements. The identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0050) classifications confirm equivalent export and tariff treatment.

Supply Chain Continuity: The SDZT15R6.8 is classified as Active, providing assured long-term availability and procurement stability. Current inventory of 18,790 units supports immediate procurement requirements.

Environmental Specifications: Identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) ensures equivalent handling, storage, and assembly process compatibility with existing manufacturing procedures.

Electrical Equivalence: The specified electrical parameters (6.8 V Zener voltage, 100 mW power rating, ±5% tolerance) establish functional equivalence for applications requiring these characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SDZT15R6.8 directly replace the GDZ8EPT2R6.8 in existing designs?

A: The SDZT15R6.8 provides electrical equivalence based on the specified Zener voltage (6.8 V), power rating (100 mW), and tolerance (±5%). Substitution is valid provided the application accommodates the Surface Mount SMD0603 package format. Verification of mechanical fit and PCB layout compatibility is required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the GDZ8EPT2R6.8?

A: The GDZ8EPT2R6.8 is classified as Obsolete. The SDZT15R6.8 is an Active product from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these components?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 Compliant with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), ECCN (EAR99), and HTSUS (8541.10.0050) classifications.

Q: What packaging format does the SDZT15R6.8 use?

A: The SDZT15R6.8 is supplied in Surface Mount SMD0603 package format (2-SMD, No Lead). This differs from the GDZ8EPT2R6.8 packaging specification, which was not provided. PCB design modifications may be required if the original design utilized a different package type.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for the SDZT15R6.8?

A: The SDZT15R6.8 operates at a maximum temperature of 150°C.

Q: Is the reverse leakage current specification critical for substitution?

A: The SDZT15R6.8 specifies reverse leakage current of 500 nA @ 3.5 V. This parameter should be verified against the original GDZ8EPT2R6.8 specification to confirm compatibility with the application's leakage requirements.
