Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAZ8056GML is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Zener voltage must be 5.6 V nominal
• Impedance (Zzt) must not exceed 40 Ohms
• Package must be SOD-323F or equivalent surface mount configuration
• Moisture sensitivity level must be 1 (Unlimited) or better

Acceptable Variations:

• Tolerance may vary from ±5% to ±7%
• Power dissipation rating may exceed 150 mW (higher ratings are acceptable for the same voltage class)
• Reverse leakage current may vary within specified operating conditions
• Forward voltage characteristics may differ within specified test conditions

The identified substitute parts BZX84J-C5V6,115 and MM3Z5V6T1G meet these criteria while offering improved availability and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BZX84J-C5V6,115 (Nexperia USA Inc.): This substitute offers active product status with higher power dissipation capability (550 mW versus 150 mW). The component is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications and ROHS3 compliant. The tighter tolerance specification (±5%) provides improved voltage regulation characteristics. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C ~ 150°C. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance and automotive-grade reliability.

MM3Z5V6T1G (onsemi): This substitute provides active product status with moderate power dissipation increase (300 mW versus 150 mW). The component is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C ~ 150°C. Forward voltage specification at 10 mA (900 mV) aligns closely with the original part. This part offers a balanced alternative with improved availability and current manufacturing support.

Both substitutes maintain the critical electrical parameters of 5.6 V nominal voltage and 40 Ohms maximum impedance. Selection between these options depends on specific application thermal requirements and compliance certifications needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BZX84J-C5V6,115 directly replace MAZ8056GML in all applications?

A: BZX84J-C5V6,115 maintains identical nominal voltage (5.6 V) and impedance (40 Ohms) specifications. The higher power rating (550 mW) is compatible with circuits designed for 150 mW operation. Physical package compatibility (SOD-323F) is confirmed. Verification of specific circuit requirements is necessary for applications with strict thermal or tolerance specifications.

Q: What is the difference between MM3Z5V6T1G and BZX84J-C5V6,115?

A: Both parts share the same 5.6 V nominal voltage and 40 Ohms impedance. MM3Z5V6T1G offers 300 mW power rating and ±7% tolerance. BZX84J-C5V6,115 offers 550 mW power rating, ±5% tolerance, and AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Package designations differ slightly (SOD-323 versus SOD-323F), though both are surface mount configurations compatible with standard PCB layouts.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: MAZ8056GML uses SMini2-F3 package designation (SC-90, SOD-323F). BZX84J-C5V6,115 uses SOD-323F package. MM3Z5V6T1G uses SOD-323 package. All three are surface mount configurations with compatible footprints for standard SOD-323 PCB layouts. Physical dimensions and lead configurations are compatible with existing designs.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitute parts?

A: BZX84J-C5V6,115 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. MM3Z5V6T1G carries ROHS3 compliance. Both parts are REACH unaffected. Selection should consider specific application compliance requirements.

Q: How do tolerance specifications affect circuit performance?

A: MAZ8056GML specifies ±6% tolerance. BZX84J-C5V6,115 specifies ±5% tolerance (tighter). MM3Z5V6T1G specifies ±7% tolerance (wider). For voltage regulation applications requiring precise 5.6 V output, BZX84J-C5V6,115 provides superior tolerance performance. For general-purpose applications, all three parts maintain acceptable voltage regulation within typical circuit design margins.
