GSOT03-G3-08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GSOT03-G3-08 is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This component provides transient overvoltage protection with a 3.3V reverse standoff voltage and 12.3V maximum clamping voltage, designed for general-purpose surface mount applications in the SOT-23-3 package. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified based on identical electrical performance parameters and compatible packaging specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the GSOT03-G3-08 are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical voltage ratings: 3.3V reverse standoff, 4V breakdown minimum, 12.3V clamping maximum
• Matching peak pulse current: 30A (8/20µs)
• Identical peak pulse power: 369W
• Matching capacitance specification: 420pF @ 1MHz
• Compatible package: SOT-23-3 surface mount
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C
• Same manufacturer: Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division
• Equivalent RoHS and regulatory compliance status

The GSOT03-E3-08 meets all substitution criteria through identical electrical specifications and compatible packaging, with the primary difference being the supply packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the GSOT03-G3-08 and GSOT03-E3-08 are Active status components from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division with identical electrical specifications and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by supply packaging requirements: the GSOT03-G3-08 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the GSOT03-E3-08 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both parts carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The choice between these substitutes depends on procurement volume and assembly line packaging compatibility rather than electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GSOT03-E3-08 be used as a direct replacement for GSOT03-G3-08?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with matching voltage ratings (3.3V standoff, 12.3V clamping), current ratings (30A peak pulse), and operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C). Both use the SOT-23-3 surface mount package and are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is the supply packaging format. GSOT03-G3-08 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while GSOT03-E3-08 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Electrical specifications and physical package dimensions are identical.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: Yes. GSOT03-G3-08 has 1,107 pieces in stock, while GSOT03-E3-08 has 10,270 pieces in stock. Availability may influence selection based on project timeline and volume requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both GSOT03-G3-08 and GSOT03-E3-08 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical SOT-23-3 package dimensions and surface mount specifications, allowing direct substitution on PCB layouts without design modifications.
