Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VLZ24C-GS08 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Zener voltage within acceptable tolerance of 23.72 V nominal
• Power dissipation rating of 500 mW or greater
• Impedance (Zzt) of 35 Ohms maximum
• Reverse leakage current specification
• Forward voltage characteristics at specified current

Mechanical & Environmental Compatibility:

• Surface Mount mounting type
• SOD-80 package family compatibility
• Operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C minimum
• Automotive grade qualification (AEC-Q101)
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)

The TLZ24C-GS08 meets all substitution criteria through equivalent electrical performance, identical power rating, matching impedance specification, compatible package family, and maintained automotive qualification standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TLZ24C-GS08 is the direct substitute for the VLZ24C-GS08 based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory and quality standards are preserved in substitution.

Product Status: The TLZ24C-GS08 carries Active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (6993 Pcs) compared to the obsolete VLZ24C-GS08 (676 Pcs). This ensures long-term supply chain reliability and production continuity.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part delivers equivalent electrical characteristics across all critical parameters: identical 500 mW power rating, matching 35 Ohms impedance, and identical forward voltage specification. The nominal Zener voltage of 24 V represents a 0.28 V variance from the 23.72 V specification, which falls within standard Zener diode tolerance bands for this voltage class.

Reverse Leakage Improvement: The TLZ24C-GS08 demonstrates superior reverse leakage performance at 40 nA @ 22 V compared to 40 µA @ 22 V in the main part, indicating enhanced device quality and reduced leakage current characteristics.

Package Compatibility: Both parts utilize SOD-80 package family specifications with Surface Mount mounting. The substitute employs MiniMELF variant geometry while the main part uses QuadroMELF variant. Both variants maintain SOD-80 electrical and thermal characteristics within the specified operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the VLZ24C-GS08?

A: The VLZ24C-GS08 is classified as Obsolete. The TLZ24C-GS08 is an Active product with equivalent electrical specifications and superior inventory availability, ensuring design continuity and production support.

Q: Are the Zener voltage specifications identical between the two parts?

A: The VLZ24C-GS08 is rated at 23.72 V nominal, while the TLZ24C-GS08 is rated at 24 V nominal. This 0.28 V difference is within standard Zener diode tolerance specifications for the 24 V voltage class and does not affect functional compatibility in typical circuit applications.

Q: Do both parts share the same package specification?

A: Both parts use the SOD-80 package family and Surface Mount mounting type. The VLZ24C-GS08 uses the QuadroMELF variant, while the TLZ24C-GS08 uses the MiniMELF variant. Both variants maintain equivalent SOD-80 electrical and thermal performance characteristics.

Q: Are automotive and compliance certifications maintained in the substitute part?

A: Yes. Both the VLZ24C-GS08 and TLZ24C-GS08 carry Automotive grade classification, AEC-Q101 qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. All regulatory and quality standards are preserved.

Q: What is the difference in reverse leakage current between the two parts?

A: The VLZ24C-GS08 specifies 40 µA @ 22 V reverse leakage, while the TLZ24C-GS08 specifies 40 nA @ 22 V. The substitute part exhibits significantly lower reverse leakage current, indicating improved device characteristics and reduced off-state current.

Q: Can the TLZ24C-GS08 be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: The TLZ24C-GS08 meets all electrical, thermal, and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. The SOD-80 package family compatibility and identical power rating, impedance, and forward voltage specifications ensure functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Q: What is the inventory status difference between these parts?

A: The VLZ24C-GS08 has 676 Pcs in stock as an obsolete part. The TLZ24C-GS08 has 6993 Pcs in stock as an active product, providing substantially greater availability for current and future production requirements.
