EU2Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The EU2Z, manufactured by Sanken Electric USA Inc., is a general-purpose diode intended for rectification applications. It is classified under Diodes, Rectifiers, with an active product status. The diode operates at a maximum reverse voltage of 200 V, supports average rectification current up to 1A, features fast recovery characteristics, and is provided in an axial, through-hole package. Identifying alternative models is essential for situations involving supply constraints, compliance requirements, or application-specific certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is strictly determined by matching the key electrical and mechanical parameters: reverse voltage rating, average rectified current, forward voltage at specified current, speed (including recovery time), reverse leakage current at maximum voltage, mounting type, package form factor, operating temperature range, and product status. Only parts fully specifying these parameters are included in the substitute group. RoHS status, ECCN code, and moisture sensitivity level further filter the compatibility for compliance-oriented applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For substitution, verify current product status and compliance requirements. EU2Z is RoHS compliant and active. 1N3611 and 1N5614 are active but RoHS non-compliant. 1N5615 is discontinued at Digi-Key and lacks RoHS status information. All substitute parts share identical core electrical and mechanical parameters within the supplied details, but only EU2Z meets RoHS compliance based on provided data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What core parameters must match for a valid diode substitute in this category?
A1: The key substitution parameters are reverse voltage rating, average rectified current, forward voltage specification at the test current, recovery speed, reverse leakage current, mounting method, package type, operating temperature range, product status, and compliance indicators.

Q2: Are all substitutes provided in an axial, through-hole form factor?
A2: Yes, all listed substitute parts are supplied in axial, through-hole packages as specified.

Q3: Why do compliance and product status matter for substitution?
A3: Compliance and status determine suitability for regulated applications and supply continuity. For example, EU2Z is RoHS compliant and active, whereas substitutes may not meet such requirements.

Q4: Is voltage and current rating sufficient for substitution?
A4: Voltage and current rating alone are not sufficient. Substitution also requires matching forward voltage, speed, leakage characteristics, mounting type, and compliance requirements.

Q5: What if substitute operating temperature ranges differ?
A5: Selection must be made based on the application's required operating temperature and the provided temperature specification of each part. Only the values listed above may be considered for compatibility.
