EU 2AV Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Sanken Electric USA Inc. EU 2AV is a general-purpose, fast recovery diode rated at 600 V and 1 A in an axial through-hole package, categorized under Diodes, Rectifiers. The device is RoHS Compliant and features fast reverse recovery time, making it suitable for applications requiring efficient switching and rectification. Despite being an active product with stock available, there may be situations requiring the selection of alternative part numbers—such as changes in packaging, part numbering, or supply chain considerations—while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the category of diodes and rectifiers is allowed strictly when all primary electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. Key parameters enabling substitution include: maximum reverse voltage (600 V), average rectified current (1A), maximum forward voltage at rated current (1.4 V @ 1A), fast recovery speed (trr 400 ns), maximum reverse leakage current (10 µA at 600 V), through-hole axial mounting, identical operating temperature range, and compliance attributes such as RoHS status and MSL rating. All substitutes listed share these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute diodes—EU 2AV1 and EU02AV1—share identical electrical and mechanical parameters with the main part number EU 2AV. All devices are active, RoHS compliant, and have an unlimited Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1), ensuring suitability for general RoHS-compliant applications. Packaging is the primary distinction among these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria are used for finding equivalent and substitute diodes, rectifiers for EU 2AV?
A1: Only parts with matching electrical ratings (Vr, Io, Vf, trr, leakage current), identical package type (axial, through-hole), operating temperature range, and compliance certifications (RoHS, MSL) are considered.

Q2: Are there differences in form, fit, or function among EU 2AV, EU 2AV1, and EU02AV1?
A2: There are no differences in form, fit, or function among these part numbers. Electrical, thermal, and mechanical characteristics are consistent. Packaging format (Tape & Reel or Cut Tape) is the only distinction.

Q3: Is there any difference when selecting a substitute based on RoHS compliance or MSL rating?
A3: No. All parts—EU 2AV, EU 2AV1, and EU02AV1—are RoHS compliant and have an MSL of 1 (Unlimited). This ensures identical compliance across these substitute options.

Q4: Can EU 2AV1 and EU02AV1 be directly interchanged with EU 2AV in a design?
A4: Yes, as all critical specifications (electrical ratings, package, mounting type, temperature range, compliance) are identical.

Q5: How should packaging differences be considered in selection?
A5: Selection between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape should be based on assembly process requirements; Cut Tape and Tape & Reel do not affect the diode’s electrical or mechanical parameters.
