Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PG5396_R2_00001 manufactured by Panjit International Inc. is a direct parametric equivalent to the 1N5396GP-TP. Both components meet identical electrical specifications for reverse voltage, average rectified current, forward voltage drop, and recovery speed. Both are packaged in DO-15 through-hole axial configuration and comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

The primary distinction is product status: the 1N5396GP-TP is designated "Not For New Designs," while the PG5396_R2_00001 maintains "Active" status. This makes the PG5396_R2_00001 the preferred selection for new applications and ongoing production requiring this diode specification.

Secondary parameter variations (reverse leakage current and junction capacitance) fall within acceptable equivalence ranges for general-purpose rectifier applications and do not preclude substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PG5396_R2_00001 be used as a direct replacement for the 1N5396GP-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (500 V reverse voltage, 1.5 A average rectified current, 1.4 V forward voltage drop) and identical mechanical packaging (DO-15 through-hole axial). Both comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. The PG5396_R2_00001 is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the 1N5396GP-TP?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and promotion of this part number. For new applications, the active equivalent PG5396_R2_00001 should be selected to ensure long-term supply availability and manufacturer support.

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

A: The PG5396_R2_00001 specifies 1 µA reverse leakage at 500 V, compared to 5 µA for the 1N5396GP-TP. This represents improved leakage performance and does not affect substitution eligibility for general-purpose rectifier applications.

Q: Do these diodes have different junction capacitance values?

A: The PG5396_R2_00001 specifies 25 pF at 4 V, 1 MHz, compared to 15 pF for the 1N5396GP-TP. This difference is within acceptable ranges for standard recovery rectifier applications and does not preclude direct substitution.

Q: Are both parts available in the same package configuration?

A: Yes. Both the 1N5396GP-TP and PG5396_R2_00001 are supplied in DO-204AC, DO-15 axial through-hole packages, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in PCB layouts and circuit designs.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
