HS2JA R3G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HS2JA R3G is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 600 V DC reverse voltage and 1.5 A average rectified current in a DO-214AC (SMA) surface mount package. This part is classified as discontinued at DiGi Electronics, which necessitates identification of equivalent and substitute components for ongoing design requirements and production continuity. The HS2JA R3G operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and features fast recovery characteristics with a reverse recovery time of 75 nanoseconds, making it suitable for general-purpose rectification applications requiring moderate current handling and voltage isolation.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HS2JA R3G is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 600 V minimum
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1.5 A minimum
Package / Case: DO-214AC (SMA) surface mount
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C minimum range
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: ≤ 1.7 V @ rated current
Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
Reverse Recovery Time (trr): ≤ 75 ns
Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: ≤ 5 µA @ 600 V

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: Parametric Equivalents (identical electrical specifications and packaging) and Similar Parts (meeting minimum substitution criteria with variations in secondary parameters such as forward voltage, recovery time, or current rating). Parts with lower current ratings (1 A) are classified as similar parts suitable only for applications where the full 1.5 A rating is not required. Parts with higher current ratings (2 A) are suitable for direct substitution with enhanced current capacity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalent (Direct Replacement):

The HS2JA (Tape & Reel packaging) is the direct parametric equivalent to the HS2JA R3G. This part maintains identical electrical specifications including 600 V reverse voltage, 1.5 A average rectified current, 1.7 V forward voltage at 1.5 A, 75 ns reverse recovery time, and identical package configuration. The HS2JA is currently in active product status with substantial inventory availability (76,600 pieces), making it the primary recommended substitute. The only difference is packaging format: HS2JA R3G is supplied in Cut Tape (CT), while HS2JA is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Higher Current Capacity Substitutes (1.5 A or Greater):

GS2J-LTP (Micro Commercial Co, 2 A rating) and NRVUA160VT3G (onsemi, 2 A rating) provide enhanced current capacity while maintaining 600 V reverse voltage and DO-214AC packaging. GS2J-LTP is in active product status with 747 pieces in stock. NRVUA160VT3G carries automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) and is rated for extended junction temperature to 175°C, though it is classified as Not For New Designs. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring current headroom beyond the 1.5 A specification.

Lower Current Capacity Substitutes (1 A Rating):

CGRA4005-G, CSFA105-G, GS1J-LTP, RS1J-13-F, RS1JHE3_A/H, RS1JHE3_A/I, and S1J-13-F all provide 1 A average rectified current with 600 V reverse voltage in DO-214AC packaging. These parts are suitable only for applications where the full 1.5 A rating of the HS2JA R3G is not required. RS1JHE3_A/H and RS1JHE3_A/I carry automotive qualification (AEC-Q101). S1J-13-F features standard recovery characteristics (3 µs reverse recovery time) compared to the fast recovery specification of the original part.

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

All substitute parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, consistent with the original HS2JA R3G. All parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.10.0080. Parts with automotive qualification (RS1JHE3_A/H, RS1JHE3_A/I, NRVUA160VT3G) carry AEC-Q101 certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 1 A rated diode as a direct substitute for the HS2JA R3G (1.5 A)?

A: No. The HS2JA R3G is rated for 1.5 A average rectified current. Substitution with 1 A rated parts (CGRA4005-G, CSFA105-G, GS1J-LTP, RS1J-13-F, RS1JHE3_A/H, RS1JHE3_A/I, S1J-13-F) is only permissible in applications where the actual circuit current does not exceed 1 A. Using a lower-rated part in a 1.5 A application will result in thermal stress and potential component failure.

Q: What is the difference between HS2JA R3G and HS2JA?

A: The HS2JA R3G and HS2JA are electrically and functionally identical. Both are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation with identical specifications: 600 V reverse voltage, 1.5 A average rectified current, 1.7 V forward voltage at 1.5 A, 75 ns reverse recovery time, and DO-214AC packaging. The difference is packaging format: HS2JA R3G is supplied in Cut Tape (CT), while HS2JA is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). The HS2JA R3G is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, while HS2JA is in active production status.

Q: Are there any differences in forward voltage between the HS2JA R3G and the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The HS2JA R3G specifies 1.7 V forward voltage at 1.5 A. Substitute parts with 1 A ratings specify forward voltage at 1 A, making direct comparison difficult. CGRA4005-G specifies 1.1 V @ 1 A, CSFA105-G specifies 1.5 V @ 1 A, GS1J-LTP specifies 1 V @ 1 A, RS1J-13-F specifies 1.3 V @ 1 A, and S1J-13-F specifies 1.1 V @ 1 A. Forward voltage varies with current and temperature; these specifications are not directly comparable to the 1.5 A rating of the original part.

Q: What is the significance of fast recovery versus standard recovery?

A: The HS2JA R3G features fast recovery with a reverse recovery time (trr) of 75 nanoseconds. This characteristic reduces switching losses and is beneficial in high-frequency rectification applications. Substitute parts with standard recovery characteristics (GS1J-LTP with >500ns recovery, S1J-13-F with 3 µs recovery) are suitable only for applications where switching frequency is low or where increased reverse recovery time is acceptable. Fast recovery substitutes include CGRA4005-G, CSFA105-G, RS1J-13-F, RS1JHE3_A/H, RS1JHE3_A/I, and NRVUA160VT3G.

Q: Can I use GS2J-LTP or NRVUA160VT3G (2 A rated) as substitutes?

A: Yes. Both GS2J-LTP and NRVUA160VT3G are rated for 2 A average rectified current, which exceeds the 1.5 A requirement of the HS2JA R3G. Both maintain 600 V reverse voltage and DO-214AC packaging. These parts provide enhanced current capacity and thermal margin. GS2J-LTP is in active product status. NRVUA160VT3G is classified as Not For New Designs but carries automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) and extended temperature rating to 175°C.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape that has been cut into smaller lengths, typically for lower-volume applications or manual assembly. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on a reel, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Electrically and functionally, there is no difference between CT and TR versions of the same part. The HS2JA R3G is supplied in CT format, while the equivalent HS2JA is supplied in TR format. Both RS1JHE3_A/I and S1J-13-F are available in CT format.

Q: Are automotive-qualified parts (AEC-Q101) required for my application?

A: Automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) is required only for applications in automotive or safety-critical environments. RS1JHE3_A/H, RS1JHE3_A/I, and NRVUA160VT3G carry AEC-Q101 certification. For general-purpose industrial or consumer applications, automotive qualification is not necessary. The base HS2JA and HS2JA R3G do not carry automotive qualification.

Q: What is the operating temperature range of the substitute parts?

A: The HS2JA R3G operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. Most substitute parts maintain this identical range: HS2JA, CGRA4005-G, CSFA105-G, GS1J-LTP, GS2J-LTP, RS1J-13-F, RS1JHE3_A/H, RS1JHE3_A/I, and S1J-13-F all specify -55°C to 150°C. NRVUA160VT3G extends the upper limit to 175°C and lowers the lower limit to -65°C, providing wider temperature operation. RS1J-13-F specifies -65°C to 150°C.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed in this reference maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, consistent with the original HS2JA R3G. All parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.
