Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GLL4735-E3/97 is permissible when the following electrical and mechanical parameters remain constant:

• Voltage - Zener (Nominal): 6.2 V
• Power - Maximum: 1 W
• Impedance (Maximum): 2 Ohms
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 50 µA @ 3 V
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 150°C
• Package / Case: DO-213AB, MELF
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variations in tolerance specification and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) do not affect functional equivalence when these core parameters are maintained. The substitute part GLL4735A-E3/96 meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both GLL4735-E3/97 and GLL4735A-E3/96 are Active products with identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The primary distinction between these parts is the tolerance specification and packaging format. The GLL4735A-E3/96 offers tighter tolerance (±5% versus ±10%), which provides improved voltage regulation accuracy in applications requiring stricter zener voltage control. Both parts maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity rating and are suitable for long-term storage and deployment in standard industrial environments. Selection between these parts should be based on tolerance requirements and packaging format compatibility with assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GLL4735A-E3/96 be used as a direct replacement for GLL4735-E3/97?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications for zener voltage, power rating, impedance, reverse leakage current, and operating temperature range. The GLL4735A-E3/96 features tighter tolerance (±5% versus ±10%), making it functionally compatible and suitable for direct substitution in applications where the main part is specified.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components on tape segments cut to specific lengths, suitable for lower-volume applications or manual assembly. Both formats contain identical components in the same DO-213AB MELF package.

Q: Does the ±5% tolerance of GLL4735A-E3/96 affect circuit performance compared to the ±10% tolerance of GLL4735-E3/97?

A: The tighter tolerance of GLL4735A-E3/96 results in more precise zener voltage output within a narrower range. In applications where voltage regulation accuracy is critical, the ±5% tolerance provides improved performance. In applications with less stringent voltage control requirements, both tolerance levels are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both GLL4735-E3/97 and GLL4735A-E3/96 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
