Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PDZ36B-QZ is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part PDZ36B,115 shares identical electrical specifications with the main part: 36 V nominal Zener voltage, ±2% tolerance, 400 mW maximum power dissipation, 60 Ohms maximum impedance, 50 nA reverse leakage current at 27 V, and 1.1 V maximum forward voltage at 100 mA. Both parts operate at a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and are housed in the SC-76 SOD-323 surface mount package.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format. The PDZ36B-QZ is supplied in tape and reel (TR) format, while PDZ36B,115 is available in cut tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® format. Both parts are manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc., maintain active product status, comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, and carry identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PDZ36B,115 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the PDZ36B-QZ. Both parts are manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. and maintain active product status. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical performance.

The PDZ36B-QZ in tape and reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes where continuous reel feeding is required. The PDZ36B,115 in cut tape and Digi-Reel® format accommodates lower-volume production runs, manual assembly operations, or alternative feeder systems.

Both parts comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, carry AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, and maintain MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. Either part is suitable for applications requiring 36 V Zener regulation at 400 mW power dissipation in surface mount SOD-323 packages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PDZ36B,115 be used as a direct replacement for PDZ36B-QZ in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same 36 V nominal Zener voltage, ±2% tolerance, 400 mW power rating, and SOD-323 package. Circuit performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between tape and reel (TR) and cut tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape and reel packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place equipment. Cut tape and Digi-Reel® packaging provides components in shorter tape segments or alternative reel formats, typically for lower-volume production or manual assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts qualified for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both PDZ36B-QZ and PDZ36B,115 carry AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

Q: Does moisture sensitivity differ between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-volume manufacturing?

A: Interchangeability depends on assembly equipment compatibility. The PDZ36B-QZ tape and reel format is optimized for continuous automated feeding. The PDZ36B,115 cut tape and Digi-Reel® format may require different feeder configurations. Verify equipment compatibility before switching between packaging formats.

Q: What is the base product number for these parts?

A: The base product number is PDZ36, which encompasses the 36 V Zener diode family. Both PDZ36B-QZ and PDZ36B,115 are variants of this base product with identical electrical specifications.
