Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part selection in the Diodes, Rectifiers category is based on explicit matching or compatibility of the following key parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max)
• Current - Average Rectified (Io)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr)
• Package / Case
• Mounting Type
• RoHS and REACH compliance
• Product status (Active)

Both main and substitute parts must have the same package type, electrical ratings, mounting method, and environmental compliance. Only listed specifications are considered.

Parameter Comparison

Both devices are supplied in the same DO-201AD axial through-hole package. Either part meets requirements for environmental certifications and status for production selection, strictly per the provided parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key electrical parameters to check when substituting rectifier diodes?
A1: Key parameters are voltage - DC reverse (Vr) (Max), current - average rectified (Io), voltage - forward (Vf) (Max) at specified current, and reverse recovery time (trr).

Q2: Are EGP31A-E3/C and 1N5400G-T mechanically interchangeable?
A2: Both use the DO-201AD axial through-hole package, making them compatible for direct substitution in designs using this footprint.

Q3: Is RoHS or REACH status important in selecting a substitute?
A3: Yes, both EGP31A-E3/C and 1N5400G-T are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting common environmental and international compliance standards.

Q4: Do both diodes share the same mounting method?
A4: Yes, both EGP31A-E3/C and 1N5400G-T are designed for through-hole mounting.

Q5: How does reverse recovery time (trr) affect substitution in this component category?
A5: Reverse recovery time (trr) is a critical parameter for applications where diode speed matters; EGP31A-E3/C is fast recovery (50 ns), while 1N5400G-T is standard recovery (2 µs), as provided. Only switch if specifications align with application requirements based strictly on design criteria.
