Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VLZ2V7-GS08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Zener voltage: 2.7 V nominal
• Maximum power dissipation: 500 mW
• Maximum impedance: 100 Ohms
• Forward voltage: 1.5 V maximum at 200 mA
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C

Mechanical and Compliance Criteria:

• Surface Mount mounting type
• SOD-80 package family compatibility
• Automotive grade classification
• AEC-Q101 qualification
• ROHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical parameters identically and maintain automotive-grade qualification with AEC-Q101 certification. Package variants within the SOD-80 family (QuadroMELF and MiniMELF) are considered compatible when all other parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TLZ2V7-GS08 is a direct electrical and functional equivalent to the VLZ2V7-GS08. Both components are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and meet identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 2.7 V zener voltage, 500 mW power rating, 100 Ohms maximum impedance, and -65°C to 175°C operating temperature range.

Both parts carry Automotive grade classification and AEC-Q101 qualification, ensuring compliance with automotive reliability standards. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

The primary distinction is product status: the VLZ2V7-GS08 is Obsolete, while the TLZ2V7-GS08 is Active. The package variant differs (QuadroMELF versus MiniMELF), both within the SOD-80 family. The TLZ2V7-GS08 is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format, whereas the main part does not specify packaging format.

For applications requiring the VLZ2V7-GS08 specification, the TLZ2V7-GS08 provides full electrical and functional substitution with the advantage of active production status and current availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TLZ2V7-GS08 be used as a direct replacement for the VLZ2V7-GS08?

A: Yes. The TLZ2V7-GS08 meets all electrical specifications of the VLZ2V7-GS08, including zener voltage, power dissipation, impedance, forward voltage, and operating temperature range. Both components carry identical Automotive grade and AEC-Q101 qualification.

Q: What is the difference between QuadroMELF and MiniMELF packages?

A: Both are variants within the SOD-80 package family. QuadroMELF and MiniMELF differ in physical dimensions and lead configuration, but maintain electrical equivalence. PCB layout and footprint design must accommodate the specific package variant selected.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the VLZ2V7-GS08 and TLZ2V7-GS08 are ROHS3 compliant, carry AEC-Q101 qualification, and maintain MSL 1 rating. Compliance profiles are identical.

Q: Why is the VLZ2V7-GS08 marked as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part has been discontinued from active production by the manufacturer. The TLZ2V7-GS08, with identical electrical specifications and active production status, is available as a substitute for ongoing applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus other formats) affects supply chain logistics and handling but does not alter electrical characteristics or performance of the component itself.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the VLZ2V7-GS08 and TLZ2V7-GS08 are classified as Automotive grade and hold AEC-Q101 qualification, meeting automotive reliability and quality standards.
