Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 1000 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 2 A
• Package / Case: DO-214AC, SMA
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Secondary parameters including reverse recovery time, reverse leakage current, and capacitance may vary within acceptable ranges for general-purpose rectification applications. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) does not affect electrical equivalence but may influence procurement and handling procedures.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and comply with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on:

Packaging Format Considerations:

• GS2MHE3-LTP and S2M-HF are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format
• GS2M-LTP is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format
• SA2M-E3/5AT and SA2M-E3/61T are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format

Reverse Recovery Time Characteristics:

• GS2MHE3-LTP specifies 4 µs reverse recovery time
• SA2M-E3/5AT and SA2M-E3/61T specify 1.5 µs reverse recovery time
• GS2M-LTP and S2M-HF do not specify reverse recovery time in provided data

Reverse Leakage Current:

• GS2MHE3-LTP, GS2M-LTP, and S2M-HF specify 5 µA @ 1000 V
• SA2M-E3/5AT and SA2M-E3/61T specify 3 µA @ 1000 V

Capacitance Characteristics:

• GS2MHE3-LTP and GS2M-LTP specify 20 pF @ 4V, 1MHz
• S2M-HF specifies 25 pF @ 4V, 1MHz
• SA2M-E3/5AT and SA2M-E3/61T specify 11 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

All parts are qualified for automotive applications where applicable and maintain identical voltage, current, and temperature ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GS2M-LTP replace GS2MHE3-LTP in all applications?

A: GS2M-LTP is electrically equivalent to GS2MHE3-LTP with identical voltage, current, and forward voltage specifications. The primary difference is packaging format: GS2M-LTP is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) while GS2MHE3-LTP is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). Both are surface mount DO-214AC packages suitable for automated assembly.

Q: What is the difference between the Micro Commercial Co and Vishay parts?

A: Both manufacturers provide 1000 V, 2 A general-purpose rectifier diodes in DO-214AC packages with identical voltage and current ratings. Vishay parts (SA2M-E3/5AT and SA2M-E3/61T) feature lower reverse leakage current (3 µA versus 5 µA) and lower capacitance (11 pF versus 20 pF), along with faster reverse recovery time (1.5 µs versus 4 µs). These differences do not affect basic rectification function but may influence performance in high-frequency or low-leakage applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: GS2MHE3-LTP carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and Active product status. Automotive qualification status for substitute parts is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed parts carry this classification.

Q: Can I use S2M-HF from Comchip Technology as a direct replacement?

A: S2M-HF is electrically equivalent with matching voltage, current, and forward voltage specifications. It is supplied in Tape & Reel format like the main part. The capacitance is slightly higher (25 pF versus 20 pF), which is within acceptable tolerance for general-purpose rectification.

Q: What is the significance of reverse recovery time differences?

A: Reverse recovery time (trr) affects switching speed and switching losses. GS2MHE3-LTP specifies 4 µs, while SA2M-E3/5AT and SA2M-E3/61T specify 1.5 µs. Faster recovery reduces switching losses in high-frequency applications but is not critical for standard rectification at lower frequencies.
