Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TLZ36B-GS08 is determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Zener Voltage (Nominal): 36 V
• Power Dissipation (Maximum): 500 mW
• Package Type: DO-213AC / MINI-MELF / SOD-80 surface mount
• Mounting Configuration: Surface mount technology
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The BZV55-C36,115 meets all primary substitution criteria. Both devices share identical nominal Zener voltage, maximum power rating, and compatible surface mount packaging. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Secondary parameters including impedance, reverse leakage current, forward voltage, and operating temperature range may vary within acceptable tolerances for equivalent functional performance in voltage regulation and protection circuits.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: TLZ36B-GS08

The TLZ36B-GS08 is the specified component for applications requiring the exact electrical and mechanical characteristics defined in the design. This part is active-status with 182,695 units in stock inventory. Full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment for commercial and industrial applications.

Equivalent Substitute: BZV55-C36,115

The BZV55-C36,115 manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. is a direct functional equivalent. Both devices are ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rated, and REACH unaffected. The substitute maintains identical nominal Zener voltage (36 V) and maximum power dissipation (500 mW) with compatible DO-213AC / MINI-MELF / SOD-80 surface mount packaging. The BZV55-C36,115 offers an extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C versus -65°C to 175°C), providing additional thermal margin in high-temperature environments. Inventory availability of 19,043 units supports supply chain flexibility.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in voltage regulation, transient suppression, and protection circuit applications where the 36 V Zener voltage and 500 mW power rating are specified design parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BZV55-C36,115 be used as a direct replacement for the TLZ36B-GS08?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical nominal Zener voltage (36 V), maximum power dissipation (500 mW), and compatible surface mount packaging (DO-213AC / MINI-MELF / SOD-80). Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Electrical performance is equivalent for voltage regulation and protection applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The BZV55-C36,115 includes a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance specification, whereas the TLZ36B-GS08 does not specify tolerance. The BZV55-C36,115 has slightly higher maximum impedance (90 Ohms versus 75 Ohms) and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C versus -65°C to 175°C). Reverse leakage current and forward voltage specifications differ due to measurement conditions, but both devices meet functional requirements for 36 V Zener applications.

Q: Are the packages physically identical?

A: Yes. Both the TLZ36B-GS08 and BZV55-C36,115 use DO-213AC / MINI-MELF / SOD-80 surface mount packaging. Physical dimensions and PCB footprints are compatible, permitting direct board-level substitution without layout modification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both devices are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The TLZ36B-GS08 is the primary specified component. The BZV55-C36,115 is identified as an equivalent substitute for supply chain contingency or when extended temperature range performance is required.
