Pioneer VSX 531.Sourcing zener diodes

[Fritter]

Hi,
Pioneer VSX 531

I have a zener - ZJ4v3b - to replace on a pioneer AV amp. Closest replacement I can find is NZX4v3b (I think!)
I can only find them at RS and in quantities of 200.
Wondered if anyone can guide me to another replacement or a supplier that doesn't require a 200 lot order ?
Many thanks.

Re: Sourcing zener diodes

mouser but expensive your numbers dont work at rs but do at farnell

Re: Sourcing zener diodes

Farnell had a 6 week lead time for a minimum 1000 order IIRC. The ZJ code is the original component.

Re: Sourcing zener diodes

You're correct about the RS code. The component I think will be a replacement is TZX4v3B. Just checked the basket that has been there for three days

Re: Sourcing zener diodes

would a 5 percent C version be close enough ? can buy them in twenties at rs .

I'm not sure. The 5 channels are all using the same component and they're very small, although there is room on the board.

i suppose you could get 20 and see if you can select one that's closest to 4.3v without knowing the circuit and what the 4.3v is for i cant start to guess .
