Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for FMG-G2CS in the diodes, rectifiers category is determined by strict alignment in the following allowed parameters: technology (standard diode), DC reverse voltage (Vr), average rectified current (Io), maximum forward voltage (Vf), recovery speed, reverse recovery time (trr), reverse leakage current, mounting type, package/case, and compliance certifications. Substitute diodes must match or exceed these specifications for reliable equivalence and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FMG-G2CS is specified as obsolete and its available stock is finite. Both STTH512FP and STTH810FP are classified as active products, available in new original inventory, and compliant with ROHS3 and unrestricted moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). These substitute rectifier diodes meet or exceed the main part’s certifications and compliance criteria. Selection of substitutes should be based on alignment with electrical performance, mechanical fit, and certified compliance status provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What electrical characteristics must match for substitution?
A: Substitute diodes must provide equal or higher ratings for voltage (Vr), average current (Io), and equal or faster reverse recovery time (trr). Technology type (standard) and forward voltage (Vf) also must match within provided specifications.

Q2: Are package or mounting differences a factor in compatibility?
A: All listed substitutes use a through-hole mounting type and compatible TO-220 full-pack cases; mechanical compatibility should be verified for board layout and pin assignments based strictly on supplied package/case and supplier device package data.

Q3: Is RoHS compliance maintained in the substitute parts?
A: All comparison parts, including substitutes STTH512FP and STTH810FP, are identified as RoHS or ROHS3 compliant with unrestricted moisture sensitivity level.

Q4: Does product status affect substitution suitability?
A: FMG-G2CS is noted as obsolete, whereas STTH512FP and STTH810FP are listed as active, indicating ongoing manufacturing and availability for future sourcing needs.

Q5: How does reverse leakage current impact substitution?
A: Substitute parts show equal or lower reverse leakage current under specified conditions, which satisfies the equivalence criterion as presented in the allowed parameters.
