Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PDZ7.5BF are identified through parametric equivalence. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Voltage - Zener (Nom): 7.6 V
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Power - Max: 400 mW
• Impedance (Max): 60 Ohms
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 500 nA @ 4 V
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 900 mV @ 10 mA
• Operating Temperature: 150°C (TJ)
• Package / Case: SC-76, SOD-323
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these specifications are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. The PDZ7.5BF and PDZ7.5BZ share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics, differing only in packaging configuration (Tape & Reel designation).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PDZ7.5BF and PDZ7.5BZ are active products manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with all critical parameters matching across zener voltage, power dissipation, impedance, leakage current, and forward voltage characteristics. Both components support the same operating temperature range of 150°C (TJ) and are packaged in SOD-323 format suitable for surface mount assembly.

Selection between PDZ7.5BF and PDZ7.5BZ is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical performance. The PDZ7.5BZ maintains higher inventory availability (26,905 pieces) compared to PDZ7.5BF (10,775 pieces), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications. Both parts carry identical regulatory certifications and environmental compliance status.
