Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PDZ16B,135 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Zener (Nom) (Vz): 16 V
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Power - Max: 400 mW
• Impedance (Max) (Zzt): 20 Ohms
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 50 nA @ 12 V
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 100 mA
• Operating Temperature (TJ): 150°C
• Package / Case: SC-76, SOD-323
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The PDZ16B,135 differs from its substitute only in packaging format. The main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics, mechanical specifications, and regulatory compliance certifications. This substitution accommodates different procurement and assembly workflows without affecting circuit performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PDZ16B,135 and PDZ16B,115 are active products from Nexperia USA Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than functional performance.

PDZ16B,135 (Tape & Reel format) is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where continuous reel feeding is standard practice.

PDZ16B,115 (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format) accommodates lower-volume production runs, manual assembly workflows, or procurement scenarios where reel quantities exceed immediate requirements.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols. The electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and regulatory certifications are identical across both part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PDZ16B,115 be used as a direct replacement for PDZ16B,135 in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®). Circuit performance, voltage regulation, and protection characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) supplies components on continuous reels suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® provides components in shorter tape segments or alternative reel formats, accommodating smaller production volumes or manual assembly processes.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between PDZ16B,135 and PDZ16B,115?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 (unlimited) ratings. Regulatory and environmental certifications are equivalent.

Q: Do both parts operate at the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts have a maximum operating temperature (TJ) of 150°C and identical thermal characteristics.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: PDZ16B,135 in Tape & Reel format is optimized for high-volume automated assembly, where continuous reel feeding maximizes throughput and reduces handling time.

Q: Which part should be selected for low-volume or prototype applications?

A: PDZ16B,115 in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format is suitable for lower-volume production, prototype development, or applications where smaller quantities per order are required.

Q: Are the electrical parameters identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Zener voltage (16 V), tolerance (±2%), power rating (400 mW), impedance (20 Ohms), reverse leakage current (50 nA @ 12 V), and forward voltage (1.1 V @ 100 mA) are identical across both part numbers.
