Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PLZ2V2A-HG3_A/H is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Zener voltage nominal: 2.21 V
• Tolerance: ±4.07%
• Maximum power dissipation: 960 mW
• Maximum impedance: 120 Ohms
• Reverse leakage current: 120 µA @ 700 mV
• Forward voltage: 900 mV @ 10 mA
• Operating temperature: 150°C (TJ)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package type: DO-219AC (microSMF)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• Automotive grade qualification: AEC-Q101
• RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH status: REACH Unaffected

The substitute part PLZ2V2A-G3/H maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference lies in packaging configuration (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect component functionality or performance in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PLZ2V2A-HG3_A/H (Primary Part): Select this part number when Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is required for automated assembly processes. This configuration is standard for high-volume production environments. The part maintains active product status with 3232 units in stock.

PLZ2V2A-G3/H (Substitute Part): Select this part number when Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging is acceptable or preferred. This configuration supports both manual and semi-automated assembly workflows. The part maintains active product status with 1287 units in stock.

Substitution Criteria: Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory compliance certifications. The PLZ2V2A-G3/H is a direct functional equivalent suitable for applications where the PLZ2V2A-HG3_A/H is specified, provided that packaging and supply chain requirements are compatible with Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® configuration.

Both parts comply with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, ROHS3, and REACH requirements, making them suitable for automotive and industrial applications requiring regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PLZ2V2A-G3/H be used as a direct replacement for PLZ2V2A-HG3_A/H in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same 2.21 V nominal Zener voltage, 960 mW power rating, DO-219AC package, and all electrical parameters. The only difference is packaging configuration (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®), which does not affect circuit performance.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical compliance status: AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). They are suitable for identical application environments.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) is a continuous reel format optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® provides flexibility for both manual component selection and semi-automated processes. Both formats contain the same component; the difference is in supply and handling configuration.

Q: Can I substitute PLZ2V2A-G3/H for PLZ2V2A-HG3_A/H in an existing production line?

A: Substitution is possible if your assembly equipment can accommodate Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging. If your production line is configured exclusively for Tape & Reel input, the PLZ2V2A-HG3_A/H is the appropriate choice. Consult your assembly equipment specifications and supply chain requirements.

Q: Are these parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both PLZ2V2A-HG3_A/H and PLZ2V2A-G3/H are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and are part of the PLZ series with base product number PLZ2V2.

Q: What is the tolerance specification for the Zener voltage?

A: Both parts have a Zener voltage tolerance of ±4.07% at the nominal 2.21 V specification. This tolerance applies to all units within the same part number.

Q: Are these parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts carry automotive grade qualification and AEC-Q101 certification, making them suitable for automotive and industrial applications requiring regulatory compliance and reliability standards.
