1N5394GP-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 1N5394GP-TP is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 300 V DC reverse voltage and 1.5 A average rectified current in a DO-15 through-hole package. This component is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary for applications requiring continued support of existing designs, legacy system maintenance, or when primary stock availability is limited.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1N5394GP-TP are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

  • Voltage Rating: DC reverse voltage of 300 V (maximum)
  • Current Rating: Average rectified current of 1.5 A
  • Forward Voltage: Maximum 1.4 V at 1.5 A forward current
  • Recovery Speed: Standard recovery characteristics exceeding 500 ns at currents greater than 200 mA
  • Package Type: DO-15 through-hole axial configuration
  • Temperature Range: Operating junction temperature from -55°C to 150°C
  • Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. Variations in secondary parameters such as reverse leakage current or junction capacitance do not disqualify substitution when primary electrical and mechanical specifications are matched.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PG5394_R2_00001 manufactured by Panjit International Inc. is a parametric equivalent substitute for the 1N5394GP-TP. Both components satisfy identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all primary ratings and operating conditions.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the 1N5394GP-TP is designated "Not For New Designs," while the PG5394_R2_00001 maintains "Active" status. This status difference indicates that the Panjit part represents the current production equivalent and is the appropriate selection for ongoing applications.

Both parts carry identical compliance certifications: RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and equivalent ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Moisture sensitivity level is rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both components, indicating no special moisture handling requirements.

Secondary parameter variations—specifically the lower reverse leakage current (1 µA versus 5 µA) and higher junction capacitance (25 pF versus 15 pF) in the PG5394_R2_00001—remain within acceptable tolerances for general-purpose rectification applications and do not impact functional substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PG5394_R2_00001 be used as a direct replacement for the 1N5394GP-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical specifications for voltage rating (300 V), current rating (1.5 A), forward voltage (1.4 V @ 1.5 A), recovery speed, package type (DO-15 through-hole), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C). Physical and electrical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the 1N5394GP-TP?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and promotion of this part number. The PG5394_R2_00001 with "Active" status represents the current production equivalent and should be selected for new applications or ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there differences in reverse leakage current between these parts?

A: Yes. The 1N5394GP-TP specifies 5 µA reverse leakage at 300 V, while the PG5394_R2_00001 specifies 1 µA. Both values are within acceptable ranges for general-purpose rectifier applications and do not affect substitution eligibility.

Q: Do both parts require identical PCB footprints and mounting procedures?

A: Yes. Both components use the DO-15 axial through-hole package with identical physical dimensions and lead spacing. No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are compliance certifications equivalent between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts carry RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications. No regulatory differences exist between the two components.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these diodes?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage procedures apply without special environmental controls.
