PLZ6V2C-HG3_A/H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PLZ6V2C-HG3_A/H is an automotive-grade Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This surface mount component operates at a nominal Zener voltage of 6.28 V with a maximum power dissipation of 960 mW in the DO-219AC (microSMF) package. The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards and maintains active product status.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same product series, enabling direct replacement in applications where component availability or inventory requirements necessitate alternative sourcing within the same specification envelope.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PLZ6V2C-HG3_A/H is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Nominal Zener voltage: 6.28 V
• Voltage tolerance: ±2.55%
• Maximum power dissipation: 960 mW
• Maximum impedance: 10 Ohms
• Reverse leakage current: 5 µA @ 3 V
• Forward voltage: 900 mV @ 10 mA
• Operating temperature: 150°C (TJ)

Mechanical & Packaging Parameters:

• Package type: DO-219AC (microSMF)
• Mounting configuration: Surface Mount
• Tape & Reel packaging format

Compliance & Qualification:

• Automotive grade classification
• AEC-Q101 qualification
• ROHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

Substitute parts must maintain identical values across all listed parameters. Variations in any electrical specification, package designation, or qualification status disqualify a component from direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PLZ6V2C-G3/H is a parametric equivalent to the PLZ6V2C-HG3_A/H based on identical electrical specifications and package configuration. Both components are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division within the PLZ series and maintain ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory Availability: The PLZ6V2C-G3/H maintains significantly higher stock levels (22,526 pcs) compared to the PLZ6V2C-HG3_A/H (773 pcs), making it suitable for high-volume production requirements or extended lead-time mitigation.

Product Status: Both components maintain active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and supply chain stability.

Compliance Requirements: Applications requiring explicit automotive-grade certification and AEC-Q101 qualification should reference the original part number specifications, as automotive qualification details are not provided in the substitute part data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PLZ6V2C-G3/H be used as a direct replacement for PLZ6V2C-HG3_A/H?

A: Yes, the PLZ6V2C-G3/H is a parametric equivalent. All electrical parameters, including Zener voltage (6.28 V), power rating (960 mW), impedance (10 Ohms), and operating temperature (150°C), are identical. The package configuration (DO-219AC surface mount) and compliance status (ROHS3, MSL 1) are also equivalent.

Q: Are there any differences in the package or mounting between these parts?

A: No. Both components use the DO-219AC (microSMF) package in Tape & Reel format with surface mount configuration. PCB layout and reflow soldering parameters remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix differences (-HG3_A/H versus -G3/H)?

A: The suffix variations indicate different manufacturing or qualification batches within the PLZ6V2 base product line. The electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical across these designations.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Both components are manufactured to automotive standards and maintain ROHS3 compliance. Specific automotive qualification details (AEC-Q101) are documented for the PLZ6V2C-HG3_A/H. Applications requiring explicit automotive certification should confirm qualification status with the manufacturer.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating, and why does it matter?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components can be stored indefinitely without desiccant packaging and do not require special handling prior to soldering.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Identical electrical specifications and package configuration allow interchangeable use within the same assembly. However, traceability and quality documentation should reflect the specific part number used in each unit.
