Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1N5407-AP is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 800 V DC reverse voltage (Vr) maximum
• Current Rating: 3 A average rectified current (Io)
• Forward Voltage: Maximum forward voltage drop at rated current
• Reverse Leakage: Maximum reverse leakage current at rated voltage
• Package: DO-201AD axial through-hole configuration
• Recovery Speed: Standard recovery characteristics
• Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C junction operating range
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification

Parts are grouped as direct substitutes when all electrical parameters fall within the specified tolerances and the mechanical package remains identical. Parametric equivalents maintain the same functional performance while originating from alternative manufacturers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1N5407GP-AP is the primary direct substitute for the obsolete 1N5407-AP. Both parts are manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and share identical mechanical packaging (DO-201AD axial through-hole). The 1N5407GP-AP is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability. The forward voltage specification of 1.1 V at 3 A (versus 1 V for the original) represents a minor increase within acceptable tolerance for general-purpose rectification applications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical reverse voltage, current, and temperature specifications.

1N5407G A0G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) is a parametric equivalent offering identical electrical performance in voltage, current, and reverse leakage characteristics. This part is also in active production. The capacitance specification differs at 25 pF versus 40 pF, which may be relevant in high-frequency or noise-sensitive applications but does not affect standard rectification performance. This part is supplied in cut tape packaging, which may require consideration for automated assembly processes.

Selection between 1N5407GP-AP and 1N5407G A0G should be based on supply chain requirements, packaging format compatibility, and any application-specific sensitivity to forward voltage or capacitance parameters. Both parts satisfy the core functional requirements of the obsolete 1N5407-AP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1N5407GP-AP directly replace the 1N5407-AP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1N5407GP-AP maintains identical voltage rating (800 V), current rating (3 A), reverse leakage (5 µA @ 800 V), package type (DO-201AD axial), and mounting configuration (through-hole). The forward voltage increase from 1 V to 1.1 V at 3 A is within acceptable tolerance for general-purpose rectification circuits.

Q: What is the difference between the 1N5407GP-AP and 1N5407G A0G?

A: Both parts meet the same voltage, current, and temperature specifications. The primary differences are manufacturer (Micro Commercial Co versus Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation), packaging format (standard versus cut tape), and capacitance specification (40 pF versus 25 pF at 4 V, 1 MHz). Electrical performance in rectification applications is equivalent.

Q: Does the capacitance difference between 1N5407GP-AP and 1N5407G A0G affect circuit performance?

A: The capacitance difference (40 pF versus 25 pF) is relevant only in applications where diode junction capacitance influences circuit behavior, such as high-frequency switching or noise-sensitive analog circuits. For standard rectification applications, this difference is not functionally significant.

Q: Are both substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1N5407GP-AP and 1N5407G A0G are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification, matching the compliance profile of the original 1N5407-AP.

Q: What is the availability status of these substitute parts?

A: The 1N5407GP-AP and 1N5407G A0G are both in active production status, ensuring ongoing availability. The original 1N5407-AP is classified as obsolete.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Yes, provided the PCB footprint accommodates the DO-201AD axial package. Both substitute parts use identical through-hole mounting configuration and package dimensions. The 1N5407G A0G is supplied in cut tape format, which may require different handling in automated assembly processes compared to standard packaging.
