Sanken EM 1AV Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Sanken Electric USA Inc. EM 1AV is a standard recovery axial diode designed for general-purpose rectification applications, with 600 V maximum DC reverse voltage and 1A average rectified current. It features through-hole mounting and is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The product is active and RoHS compliant, suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial designs that require robust 600 V/1A rectifier diodes.

Determining equivalent or substitute diodes is essential for supply chain reliability, multi-source strategies, and seamless transition in the event of lead-time, inventory shortages, or packaging requirements. Substitutions must maintain identical key electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute selection is based strictly on identical values for the following key parameters: voltage rating (600 V), current rating (1A), forward voltage (970 mV @ 1A), reverse leakage current (10 µA @ 600 V), recovery speed (standard recovery >500ns), package/case (Axial), mounting type (Through Hole), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C), RoHS compliance, and MSL 1. Substitutes listed share these exact specifications with the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitutes, EM 1AV1 and EM01AV1, are active, RoHS compliant, and possess Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), identical to the main part EM 1AV. Selection may be guided solely by packaging requirements and current inventory levels. No differences in compliance or certification exist among the listed options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the strict criteria for substituting EM 1AV with another diode?
A1: Substitution requires identical ratings for voltage (600 V), current (1A), forward voltage (970 mV @ 1A), reverse leakage current (10 µA @ 600 V), recovery speed, package (Axial), mounting (Through Hole), operating temperature range, RoHS status, and MSL.

Q2: Are there mechanical differences among EM 1AV, EM 1AV1, and EM01AV1?
A2: No. All devices share the same axial package and through-hole mounting type.

Q3: Is packaging considered when selecting between EM 1AV, EM 1AV1, and EM01AV1?
A3: Yes. EM 1AV uses Tape & Reel (TR) packaging; EM 1AV1 and EM01AV1 use Cut Tape (CT). Select according to your assembly line or inventory preference.

Q4: Are there differences in compliance or reliability designations?
A4: No. All versions are RoHS compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) and are listed as active products.
