AU01AV Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The AU01AV, manufactured by Sanken Electric USA Inc., is a fast recovery general-purpose diode with a maximum reverse voltage of 600 V and a forward current capability of 500 mA. This component is commonly used in rectification and general power control applications where reliability and fast recovery speed are critical. The product is active and RoHS compliant, ensuring suitability for current production requirements. Given supply chain dynamics, packaging requirements, or inventory demands, it is necessary to identify alternative models that are parametric equivalents, ensuring uninterrupted production and function without deviation from the specified electrical or mechanical criteria.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by matching key electrical parameters, mechanical configuration, and compliance status. The parameters governing substitute selection for the AU01AV in the diodes, rectifiers category are:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max)
• Current - Average Rectified (Io)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If
• Speed and Reverse Recovery Time (trr)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr
• Mounting Type and Package / Case
• Operating Temperature - Junction
• RoHS Status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)
• ECCN

Substitute models must have identical values in these parameters to ensure full compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AU01AV and AU01AV0 are active products from Sanken Electric USA Inc., categorized as diodes and rectifiers. They are RoHS compliant, with Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), and classified under ECCN EAR99. Product selection between AU01AV and AU01AV0 can be based on packaging type (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the essential criteria for substituting AU01AV in a design?
A1: Substitution requires matching voltage - DC reverse rating, current - average rectified, forward voltage at the operating current, reverse recovery time, reverse leakage, mounting type, package/case, operating temperature range, RoHS status, and moisture sensitivity level.

Q2: Are AU01AV and AU01AV0 identical except for packaging?
A2: Yes, all electrical and mechanical parameters are identical except for the packaging method. AU01AV is supplied as Tape & Reel (TR), and AU01AV0 is supplied as Cut Tape (CT).

Q3: Can AU01AV0 directly replace AU01AV on a PCB?
A3: Yes, both have the same through hole, axial package and fit identically in the same PCB footprint.

Q4: Does the change from Tape & Reel to Cut Tape affect component performance?
A4: No, the change affects only the packaging format, not the device's electrical or mechanical characteristics.

Q5: Are both AU01AV and AU01AV0 compliant with current environmental and supply chain certifications?
A5: Yes, both parts are RoHS compliant, have MSL 1 (Unlimited), and are classified under ECCN EAR99.
