Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF15005S-E3/45 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 50 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1.5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 1.5 A
• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Technology: Standard
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: 4-SMD, Gull Wing

The substitute parts DF15005S and DF15005S-T are functionally equivalent to the main part number. Both are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated and share the same base product number (DF15005). The primary differences between these parts are packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel) and inventory availability, not electrical or mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers—DF15005S-E3/45, DF15005S, and DF15005S-T—are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply requirements:

• DF15005S-E3/45: Tube packaging, suitable for lower-volume applications or manual assembly processes.
• DF15005S: Bulk packaging, appropriate for high-volume manufacturing with custom tape-and-reel conversion or direct bulk handling.
• DF15005S-T: Tape & Reel packaging, optimized for automated assembly lines and standard pick-and-place equipment.

All parts meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications for single-phase bridge rectification at 50 V / 1.5 A ratings. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99) are identical across all three options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF15005S and DF15005S-T be used interchangeably with DF15005S-E3/45?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical ratings (50 V peak reverse voltage, 1.5 A average rectified current, 1.1 V forward voltage drop) and mechanical specifications (4-SMD Gull Wing package, surface mount). The differences are packaging format (Tube, Bulk, or Tape & Reel) and manufacturer sourcing.

Q: What is the difference between DF15005S and DF15005S-T?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging: DF15005S is supplied in Bulk format, while DF15005S-T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling preferences.

Q: Are there any temperature range differences between these parts?

A: The DF15005S-E3/45 operates from -55°C to 150°C, while DF15005S and DF15005S-T operate from -65°C to 150°C. Both ranges cover standard industrial and commercial applications. The substitute parts offer a slightly extended lower temperature limit.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (Unlimited) for all parts.

Q: Which part should I select for automated assembly?

A: DF15005S-T (Tape & Reel format) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. DF15005S (Bulk) and DF15005S-E3/45 (Tube) are better suited for manual or semi-automated processes.
