HS5B Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HS5B is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 100 V DC reverse voltage and 5 A average rectified current in a surface mount DO-214AB (SMC) package. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, manufacturing discontinuation, or design flexibility needs within the same application category.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HS5B are classified into two categories based on electrical parameter alignment:

Parametric Equivalents maintain identical or equivalent electrical specifications across all critical parameters: reverse voltage (100 V), average rectified current (5 A), forward voltage drop (1 V @ 5 A), reverse recovery time (50 ns), and reverse leakage current (10 µA @ 100 V). These parts are direct functional replacements within the same package footprint (DO-214AB, SMC).

Similar Parts share the same reverse voltage rating (100 V) and package type (DO-214AB, SMC) but differ in current rating or secondary electrical characteristics. These parts are suitable for applications where the lower current specification is acceptable within the circuit design constraints.

The substitution logic is based strictly on the following parameters:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 100 V
Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 5 A (for parametric equivalents) or 3 A (for similar parts)
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HS5B V7G is a parametric equivalent manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation with identical electrical specifications to the HS5B. This part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics but remains available in inventory. Selection of this part is appropriate when sourcing from alternative distributors and when product continuity from the same manufacturer is required. The part maintains full compliance with ROHS3 standards.

US5B-TP is a parametric equivalent manufactured by Micro Commercial Co with identical electrical specifications to the HS5B across all critical parameters: 100 V reverse voltage, 5 A current rating, 1 V forward voltage drop, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. This part carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating it is suitable for legacy system support and replacement applications but not recommended for new product development.

RS3B-13-F is a similar part manufactured by Diodes Incorporated with the same 100 V reverse voltage rating and DO-214AB package but with a reduced current rating of 3 A. This part is Active product status and is suitable for applications where the circuit current requirement does not exceed 3 A. The reverse recovery time is 150 ns, which is longer than the HS5B specification. Selection of this part requires verification that the application current demand and switching speed requirements are compatible with the 3 A rating and extended recovery time.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for surface mount assembly in DO-214AB (SMC) package footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HS5B V7G be used as a direct replacement for HS5B?

A: Yes. HS5B V7G is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications: 100 V reverse voltage, 5 A current rating, 1 V forward voltage drop at 5 A, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. Both parts use the same DO-214AB (SMC) package and surface mount configuration. The primary difference is product status; HS5B V7G is discontinued at DiGi Electronics.

Q: What is the difference between HS5B and RS3B-13-F?

A: Both parts share the same 100 V reverse voltage rating and DO-214AB package. The key difference is current rating: HS5B is rated for 5 A average rectified current, while RS3B-13-F is rated for 3 A. Additionally, RS3B-13-F has a reverse recovery time of 150 ns compared to HS5B's 50 ns. RS3B-13-F is suitable only for applications where the circuit current does not exceed 3 A.

Q: Is US5B-TP compatible with HS5B in existing designs?

A: Yes. US5B-TP is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications to HS5B: 100 V reverse voltage, 5 A current rating, 1 V forward voltage drop, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. Both parts use the DO-214AB (SMC) package. However, US5B-TP carries a "Not For New Designs" status, making it suitable for replacement and legacy applications only.

Q: Can all substitute parts be used interchangeably in the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (HS5B V7G, US5B-TP, and RS3B-13-F) use the DO-214AB (SMC) package with identical surface mount footprint dimensions. Physical placement and soldering procedures are identical across all parts.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All parts listed—HS5B, HS5B V7G, US5B-TP, and RS3B-13-F—are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new product designs?

A: For new product designs, HS5B (Active status) or RS3B-13-F (Active status) are appropriate selections. HS5B V7G is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, and US5B-TP carries "Not For New Designs" status. Selection between HS5B and RS3B-13-F depends on circuit current requirements: use HS5B for 5 A applications and RS3B-13-F only if circuit current does not exceed 3 A.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each substitute part?

A: HS5B, HS5B V7G, and US5B-TP operate from -55°C to 150°C junction temperature. RS3B-13-F operates from -65°C to 150°C, providing a wider low-temperature operating range.
