MAZ8062GML Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAZ8062GML is a Zener diode manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, rated at 6.2 V nominal with 150 mW maximum power dissipation in a surface mount SMini2-F3 package. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for new designs and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain the 6.2 V Zener voltage specification while accommodating variations in power rating, impedance, and package configuration within acceptable electrical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAZ8062GML is determined by the following critical electrical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Zener voltage: 6.2 V nominal (core functional requirement)
• Package compatibility: Surface mount SOD-323F or equivalent mechanical footprint
• Mounting type: Surface mount technology

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Power rating: Minimum 150 mW (substitute parts may exceed this specification)
• Impedance: Maximum 30 Ohms (substitute parts with lower impedance are acceptable)
• Reverse leakage current: Maximum 200 nA @ 4 V (substitute parts with higher leakage remain functionally compatible)
• Voltage tolerance: ±6% or better (substitute parts with ±5% tolerance exceed specification)

Both identified substitute parts maintain the 6.2 V Zener voltage specification and surface mount configuration. Variations in power dissipation capability, impedance characteristics, and leakage current do not preclude functional substitution when the application circuit design accommodates these parameter differences.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BZX84J-C6V2,115 (Nexperia USA Inc.)

This substitute provides the highest power dissipation capability at 550 mW, exceeding the original 150 mW specification by 3.67 times. The part maintains identical package configuration (SC-90, SOD-323F) and achieves superior impedance performance at 10 Ohms versus 30 Ohms. Product status is active with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. The ±5% voltage tolerance is tighter than the original ±6% specification. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance or where circuit design benefits from lower impedance characteristics.

MM3Z6V2T1G (onsemi)

This substitute provides 300 mW power dissipation, doubling the original 150 mW specification. The part uses SOD-323 package configuration, which is mechanically compatible with SOD-323F footprints in most PCB layouts. Impedance is 10 Ohms, matching the Nexperia alternative. Product status is active with ROHS3 compliance and -65°C to 150°C operating temperature range. Forward voltage is optimized at 900 mV @ 10 mA, providing superior performance at the original test condition. This substitute offers a balanced approach between power capability enhancement and cost considerations.

Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the original MAZ8062GML component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BZX84J-C6V2,115 be used as a direct replacement for MAZ8062GML?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain 6.2 V Zener voltage specification and identical SC-90, SOD-323F package configuration. The higher power rating (550 mW vs. 150 mW) and lower impedance (10 Ohms vs. 30 Ohms) are compatible with circuit designs originally specified for the MAZ8062GML.

Q: What is the difference between SOD-323F and SOD-323 packages?

A: SOD-323F and SOD-323 are mechanically compatible surface mount packages with identical lead spacing and footprint dimensions. Both packages accommodate the same PCB land pattern. The "F" designation in SOD-323F indicates a specific variant, but substitution between these package types is standard practice in surface mount assembly.

Q: Does the ±5% tolerance of substitute parts affect circuit performance compared to the ±6% original specification?

A: No. The ±5% tolerance of substitute parts is tighter than the original ±6% specification, meaning substitute parts maintain Zener voltage within a narrower range. This represents an improvement in voltage regulation accuracy.

Q: How does the increased power rating of substitute parts affect thermal management?

A: Substitute parts with higher power ratings (300 mW or 550 mW versus 150 mW) dissipate more heat at equivalent current levels. Circuit designs must ensure adequate thermal dissipation through PCB copper area, thermal vias, or heat sinking. If the original design provided thermal management for 150 mW operation, substitute parts with higher ratings will operate at lower junction temperatures under identical current conditions.

Q: Are there compliance or qualification differences between the substitute parts?

A: BZX84J-C6V2,115 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, suitable for automotive applications. MM3Z6V2T1G does not specify automotive qualification but maintains ROHS3 compliance. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for commercial and industrial applications. Application requirements determine whether automotive qualification is necessary.

Q: What is the significance of the lower impedance (10 Ohms) in substitute parts?

A: Lower impedance improves voltage regulation stability and reduces output impedance variation across the operating current range. This characteristic enhances circuit performance in applications requiring precise voltage reference or transient response characteristics. Lower impedance is a performance advantage over the original 30 Ohms specification.
