MMBZ16VALT116 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MMBZ16VALT116 is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection in surface-mount applications. This unidirectional dual-channel Zener diode operates with a 13V reverse standoff voltage and provides 23V maximum clamping voltage at peak pulse current. The component is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic circuit protection requirements. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and component availability across manufacturing cycles.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MMBZ16VALT116 is determined by strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the TVS diode category. The following parameters establish substitution validity:

• Unidirectional channel configuration: 2 channels
• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 13V (Max)
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 15.2V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 23V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 1.7A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 40W
• Package / Case: TO-236-3, SC-59, SOT-23-3
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Base Product Number: MMBZ16

The MMBZ16VALYT116 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and compatible packaging. Packaging variation (Tape & Reel versus standard packaging) does not affect electrical performance or circuit compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MMBZ16VALT116 and MMBZ16VALYT116 are active products manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor with identical electrical performance specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements and supply chain considerations:

• Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements for regulated markets
• Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, eliminating special storage or handling requirements
• The MMBZ16VALYT116 is available in Tape & Reel packaging, suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations
• The MMBZ16VALT116 standard packaging accommodates lower-volume or mixed-component procurement scenarios
• Electrical performance is identical across all specified parameters, ensuring direct circuit compatibility

Selection should prioritize component availability and procurement logistics without compromising circuit protection performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MMBZ16VALYT116 replace MMBZ16VALT116 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications including reverse standoff voltage (13V), breakdown voltage (15.2V), clamping voltage (23V), peak pulse current (1.7A), and power dissipation (40W). They are packaged in the same TO-236-3/SOT-23-3 form factor and are functionally interchangeable.

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

A: The primary difference is packaging format. MMBZ16VALYT116 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration for automated pick-and-place assembly, while MMBZ16VALT116 uses standard packaging. Electrical performance and circuit functionality are identical.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both MMBZ16VALT116 and MMBZ16VALYT116 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component use in regulated markets.

Q: Do these components require special handling or storage?

A: No. Both components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating no special moisture control or baking requirements during storage or handling.

Q: Can I use these TVS diodes for power line protection applications?

A: No. Both components are specified for general-purpose applications only. Power line protection is not supported by these components.
