Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SLA6868MZ is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer: Sanken Electric USA Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility and performance consistency)
• Base Product Number: SLA6868 (indicates same core architecture and functional family)
• Output Configuration: Half Bridge (3) (electrical topology must remain identical)
• Technology: Power MOSFET (semiconductor technology class must match)
• Motor Type: Brushless DC (BLDC) (application class must be maintained)
• Current - Output: 2.5A (load handling capability must be equivalent)
• Voltage - Supply: 14.6V ~ 16.5V (input voltage range must be compatible)
• Voltage - Load: 500V (Max) (maximum load voltage rating must be maintained)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (PCB assembly method must be compatible)
• Interface: Logic (control signal interface type must match)

The SLA6868MH qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on identical alignment across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SLA6868MH is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete SLA6868MZ. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: output configuration, current rating, supply voltage range, load voltage maximum, and interface type.

The SLA6868MH is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and support. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting environmental and reliability standards.

The package designation for SLA6868MH includes an exposed pad variant in addition to formed leads, providing enhanced thermal management capability compared to the original SLA6868MZ. The operating temperature specification for SLA6868MH is rated to 150°C (TJ) maximum, compared to the SLA6868MZ range of -20°C to 150°C (TJ). For applications requiring the full lower temperature range, design validation is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SLA6868MH directly replace the SLA6868MZ in existing designs?

A: Yes. The SLA6868MH maintains identical electrical specifications for output configuration, current rating, supply voltage, load voltage, and logic interface. Both components are manufactured by Sanken Electric USA Inc. and share the same base product architecture (SLA6868). Through-hole mounting compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between the package designations?

A: The SLA6868MZ uses 24-SSIP Formed Leads. The SLA6868MH uses 24-SSIP Exposed Pad with Formed Leads. The exposed pad variant in the SLA6868MH provides improved thermal dissipation characteristics. Both maintain the same 24-pin through-hole footprint and pin configuration.

Q: Are there operating temperature differences between these parts?

A: The SLA6868MZ is specified for -20°C to 150°C (TJ). The SLA6868MH is specified for 150°C (TJ) maximum. For applications requiring operation below 0°C, the lower temperature specification of the SLA6868MZ should be verified against actual system requirements before substitution.

Q: Why is the SLA6868MZ listed as obsolete?

A: The SLA6868MZ has been superseded by the SLA6868MH, which offers equivalent electrical performance with active production status and improved thermal management through the exposed pad package variant.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the SLA6868MZ and SLA6868MH are RoHS Compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What applications are these parts designed for?

A: Both components are designed for home appliance applications utilizing brushless DC (BLDC) motor control with half-bridge driver topology and logic-level interface control.
