Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VLZ13-GS08 is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Zener voltage: 13 V nominal
• Maximum power dissipation: 500 mW
• Maximum impedance: 14 Ohms
• Forward voltage: 1.5 V maximum at 200 mA
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Surface mount mounting type
• SOD-80 package family compatibility
• Automotive grade qualification
• AEC-Q101 certification

The substitute part TLZ13-GS08 meets all critical electrical specifications and maintains automotive qualification. The primary distinction is the packaging variant within the SOD-80 family (MiniMELF versus QuadroMELF) and the product status transition from Obsolete to Active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TLZ13-GS08 is a direct electrical equivalent to the VLZ13-GS08 with identical performance specifications across all critical parameters. Both components maintain AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance.

The primary distinction is product status: the VLZ13-GS08 is Obsolete, while the TLZ13-GS08 is Active. Selection of the TLZ13-GS08 provides access to an actively manufactured component with ongoing supply availability.

Both components are packaged within the SOD-80 family. The VLZ13-GS08 uses QuadroMELF packaging, while the TLZ13-GS08 uses MiniMELF packaging. Both variants are surface mount configurations with identical electrical performance. PCB layout and footprint compatibility must be evaluated based on specific design requirements.

The TLZ13-GS08 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, supporting automated assembly processes. The VLZ13-GS08 packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TLZ13-GS08 replace the VLZ13-GS08 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TLZ13-GS08 meets all electrical specifications of the VLZ13-GS08, including zener voltage, power rating, impedance, forward voltage, and operating temperature range. Both components carry AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. PCB footprint compatibility must be confirmed, as the components use different SOD-80 packaging variants (MiniMELF versus QuadroMELF).

Q: What is the difference between SOD-80 QuadroMELF and SOD-80 MiniMELF?

A: Both are SOD-80 package family variants used for surface mount diodes. QuadroMELF and MiniMELF differ in physical dimensions and footprint geometry. Component selection must account for PCB layout constraints and assembly equipment compatibility. Electrical performance is identical between the two variants.

Q: Why is the VLZ13-GS08 marked as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the component is no longer in active production. The TLZ13-GS08 represents the active equivalent, providing continued access to the same electrical specifications through an actively manufactured part.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both the VLZ13-GS08 and TLZ13-GS08 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both carry AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What packaging format is the TLZ13-GS08 supplied in?

A: The TLZ13-GS08 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, supporting automated pick-and-place assembly processes. The VLZ13-GS08 packaging format is not specified in the available data.
