Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 50 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 6 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 6 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 50 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 50 V

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: R-6, Axial

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C

Parts meeting all these specifications are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without circuit redesign.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HER601GP-AP is a direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete HER601-AP. Both components are manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is product status: HER601GP-AP is active and currently in production, while HER601-AP is obsolete.

Selection of HER601GP-AP is appropriate for new designs, production continuity, and repair applications requiring the HER601-AP. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical performance characteristics across all specified electrical parameters, including reverse voltage rating, forward current capacity, and recovery time specifications.
