Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: SDZT15R6.8

The SDZT15R6.8 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete GDZ8EPT2R6.8B. Selection of this component is supported by:

1. Compliance Continuity: Both components maintain ROHS3 Compliant status and identical MSL classification, ensuring regulatory and environmental requirements are preserved in replacement designs.

2. Active Product Status: The SDZT15R6.8 is designated as Active, providing assurance of continued manufacturing availability and supply chain stability, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the original part.

3. Regulatory Alignment: Identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications confirm that export and tariff compliance requirements remain unchanged during component substitution.

4. Electrical Equivalence: The substitute part provides the specified 6.8 V Zener voltage rating with 100 mW power dissipation capability, meeting the functional requirements of the original design.

5. Packaging Consideration: The SDZT15R6.8 is supplied in SMD0603 surface mount packaging with Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® options, requiring PCB layout verification to confirm compatibility with existing design footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: The GDZ8EPT2R6.8B is classified as obsolete. The SDZT15R6.8 is an active equivalent that maintains electrical specifications and compliance certifications while ensuring continued availability.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between the two parts?

A: Both components provide 6.8 V Zener voltage rating and 100 mW power dissipation. The SDZT15R6.8 specifies ±5% tolerance and 500 nA reverse leakage current @ 3.5 V. Detailed specifications for the obsolete part are not provided in the reference data.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these components?

A: The GDZ8EPT2R6.8B uses GMD2 packaging. The SDZT15R6.8 uses SMD0603 surface mount packaging (2-SMD, No Lead). PCB footprint verification is required to confirm physical compatibility.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the GDZ8EPT2R6.8B and SDZT15R6.8 are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL classification of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Can the SDZT15R6.8 be used as a direct replacement without design modification?

A: Electrical specifications are equivalent. However, the packaging transition from GMD2 to SMD0603 requires PCB layout and footprint verification to confirm physical compatibility with existing designs.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The SDZT15R6.8 has 18,790 pieces in stock as new original inventory, providing immediate availability for procurement and production requirements.

Q: Are export and tariff classifications affected by this substitution?

A: No. Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0050) classifications, ensuring no change to export or tariff compliance requirements.
