PDZ5.6B-QF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PDZ5.6B-QF is an automotive-grade Zener diode manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc., designed for voltage regulation and protection applications requiring 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage with 400 mW power dissipation capability. The device is packaged in SOD-323 surface mount configuration and maintains Active product status. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when packaging format requirements differ.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of Zener diodes is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The PDZ5.6B-QF and its identified substitute maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters: nominal Zener voltage (5.6 V), tolerance (±2%), maximum power dissipation (400 mW), impedance (50 Ohms maximum), reverse leakage current (1 µA @ 2.5 V), forward voltage (1.1 V @ 100 mA), and operating temperature rating (150°C). Both devices utilize the SOD-323 package configuration and surface mount technology. The substitute part differs only in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility. Both parts maintain Active product status, automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101), and identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PDZ5.6B-QF and PDZ5.6B,115 are Active products manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. with identical electrical specifications and automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101). Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical performance. The PDZ5.6B-QF is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations. The PDZ5.6B,115 is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format, suitable for lower-volume applications or manual assembly processes. Both parts comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and maintain identical electrical characteristics across all specified parameters. Component selection should be based on packaging format compatibility with assembly equipment and procurement volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PDZ5.6B,115 be used as a direct replacement for PDZ5.6B-QF in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with matching Zener voltage (5.6 V), tolerance (±2%), power rating (400 mW), impedance (50 Ohms), reverse leakage current (1 µA @ 2.5 V), forward voltage (1.1 V @ 100 mA), and operating temperature (150°C). The SOD-323 package and surface mount configuration are identical. Substitution is valid for all circuit applications where PDZ5.6B-QF is specified.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on a reel, optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging supplies components on tape segments or alternative reel formats, suitable for lower-volume production or manual assembly. Both formats contain identical components with no electrical or functional differences.

Q: Are both parts qualified for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both PDZ5.6B-QF and PDZ5.6B,115 carry automotive-grade designation and AEC-Q101 qualification, meeting automotive industry reliability and quality standards.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no moisture-related storage or handling restrictions.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, with identical regulatory compliance status.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection is based on manufacturing and supply chain requirements. For high-volume automated assembly, PDZ5.6B-QF (Tape & Reel) is appropriate. For lower-volume or manual assembly processes, PDZ5.6B,115 (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) is appropriate. Both are equally suitable from an electrical and reliability standpoint.
