Hi everyone, i'm new here and this a probably a really basic silly question but although I have good knowledge & understanding of many types of PCB components I am struggling with Diode properties.
I'm looking for a replacement for a HZS4C-1TD zener diode which are very hard to find. I do have some 4.3V & 7.5V 1/2 watt BZX55C zeners and have tried to compare both data sheets but am worried that they wont be compatible. I think the 4.3V ones would be a match but would appreciate the more knowledgeable of you out there to confirm this for me.
Going forward it would be good to know what I need to be looking for in the data sheets to match up any future alternative diodes
I work a lot on repairing vintage electronic equipment and so regularly struggle to find the OEM parts.
Thanks in advance
