Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on matching key electrical and mechanical parameters relevant to diodes, rectifiers. These parameters include maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr), average rectified current (Io), forward voltage at rated current (Vf), reverse recovery time (trr), package type, mounting method, operating junction temperature range, regulatory compliance (RoHS, MSL), and active product status. Only parts matching these fields can be considered direct equivalents within the same product category, as detailed in the table above.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts—FR30M05 and VS-40HFLR80S05—are listed with an active product status. Each model meets RoHS and MSL 1 compliance criteria, and no differences exist with regard to export classification or customs status (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8541.10.0080). The mounting and package are matched, ensuring physical interchangeability. The selection between these models should be made based on the documented product status and standards compliance.
