VCUT0714A-02Z-GS08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCUT0714A-02Z-GS08 is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This component provides transient overvoltage protection with dual voltage ratings (7V and 14V reverse standoff) and is designed for surface mount applications in SOD-923 packaging. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain availability for new production and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VCUT0714A-02Z-GS08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage ratings: Reverse standoff voltage of 7V and 14V (dual channel protection)
• Breakdown voltage: Minimum 7.3V and 14.5V
• Clamping voltage: Maximum 17V and 30V at peak pulse current
• Peak pulse current capability: 5A and 2A (8/20µs)
• Peak pulse power dissipation: 54W and 63W
• Bidirectional protection: Single channel, dual voltage configuration
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C
• Surface mount technology with compatible footprint
• RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The VCUT0714A-HD1-GS08 meets all electrical and environmental specifications while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VCUT0714A-HD1-GS08 is the direct electrical equivalent of the obsolete VCUT0714A-02Z-GS08. Both components are manufactured by Vishay and share identical electrical performance specifications across all critical parameters including voltage ratings, current handling, and power dissipation.

The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status with substantial inventory availability (754,150 units in stock versus 1,370 units for the obsolete part). Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental standards.

The primary design consideration is the package transition from SOD-923 to SOD-882 (LLP1006-2L). This change requires PCB layout verification to confirm footprint compatibility. The electrical performance remains unchanged, making this substitution suitable for both new designs and field replacements where package dimensions can be accommodated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between VCUT0714A-02Z-GS08 and VCUT0714A-HD1-GS08?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical voltage ratings (7V and 14V reverse standoff), breakdown voltages (7.3V and 14.5V minimum), clamping voltages (17V and 30V maximum), peak pulse currents (5A and 2A at 8/20µs), and power dissipation (54W and 63W). Operating temperature range and capacitance specifications are also identical.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The VCUT0714A-02Z-GS08 is obsolete with limited inventory, while the VCUT0714A-HD1-GS08 is active with high availability. The package changes from SOD-923 to SOD-882 (LLP1006-2L), and the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Can I use VCUT0714A-HD1-GS08 as a direct replacement on existing PCBs designed for VCUT0714A-02Z-GS08?

A: Electrical substitution is direct. However, the package change from SOD-923 to SOD-882 requires PCB footprint verification. The physical dimensions and pin configuration differ, so layout compatibility must be confirmed before implementation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both VCUT0714A-02Z-GS08 and VCUT0714A-HD1-GS08 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, meeting current environmental and manufacturing standards.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The VCUT0714A-02Z-GS08 has been discontinued by Vishay. The VCUT0714A-HD1-GS08 represents the active equivalent in the product line, offering the same electrical performance with improved supply chain availability.
