HS5J V7G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HS5J V7G is a general-purpose rectifier diode rated for 600 V DC reverse voltage and 5 A average rectified current in a surface mount DO-214AB (SMC) package. This component is classified as discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement. The part is manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and complies with ROHS3 standards with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HS5J V7G are classified based on electrical parameter equivalence and mechanical compatibility. The primary substitution criteria are:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 600 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 5 A
• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC (surface mount)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C

Substitution Categories:

Direct Equivalent (Packaging Variant): HS5J in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging represents the same base product as HS5J V7G (Cut Tape packaging). Both share identical electrical specifications and are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. The distinction is packaging format only.

Parametric Equivalent (Variant Revision): HS5J R7G is a revision variant of the HS5J base product, manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It maintains all critical electrical parameters (600 V, 5 A, 75 ns reverse recovery time) and the same DO-214AB package. This part is also discontinued at DiGi Electronics.

Parametric Equivalent (Alternative Manufacturer): ER5J, manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, meets all critical electrical requirements (600 V, 5 A, DO-214AB package). This part is currently active in production. Minor parameter variations exist: reverse recovery time is 35 ns (faster than 75 ns), reverse leakage current is 5 µA (lower than 10 µA), and capacitance is 58 pF (higher than 50 pF). These variations remain within the functional envelope for general-purpose rectification applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred):

The HS5J in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is the primary substitute for HS5J V7G. This part is manufactured by the same supplier (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation), maintains identical electrical specifications, and is currently active in production. The only distinction is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape). Selection of this part eliminates discontinuation risk while preserving all electrical and thermal characteristics. Inventory availability is significantly higher (3852 Pcs) compared to the main part (822 Pcs).

For Alternative Sourcing:

The ER5J, manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, is an active production part suitable for applications where Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation sourcing is constrained. This part meets all critical voltage, current, and package requirements. Parameter variations (35 ns reverse recovery time versus 75 ns, 5 µA reverse leakage versus 10 µA, 58 pF capacitance versus 50 pF) represent performance improvements in switching speed and leakage characteristics. Both parts comply with ROHS3 standards and operate across the same temperature range. Inventory availability for ER5J is substantially higher (80300 Pcs), supporting long-term procurement stability.

For Discontinued Part Replacement:

The HS5J R7G is not recommended as a primary substitute due to discontinued status at DiGi Electronics, despite meeting all electrical specifications. This part should be considered only when HS5J (TR) is unavailable and ER5J is unsuitable for application-specific requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HS5J (Tape & Reel) directly replace HS5J V7G (Cut Tape)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical specifications, thermal characteristics, and package type (DO-214AB, SMC). The difference is packaging format only. HS5J in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes, while Cut Tape format is used for manual or lower-volume applications. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between HS5J V7G and ER5J?

A: Both parts share the same voltage rating (600 V), current rating (5 A), forward voltage (1.7 V @ 5 A), package (DO-214AB, SMC), and operating temperature range (-55 to 150°C). ER5J has a faster reverse recovery time (35 ns versus 75 ns), lower reverse leakage current (5 µA versus 10 µA), and slightly higher capacitance (58 pF versus 50 pF). These differences represent performance improvements and do not affect functional compatibility in general-purpose rectification circuits.

Q: Is ER5J suitable for all applications using HS5J V7G?

A: ER5J meets all critical electrical and mechanical requirements for substitution. The faster reverse recovery time and lower leakage current represent performance enhancements. Applications sensitive to switching speed or leakage characteristics benefit from ER5J selection. No electrical derating is required.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides individual component strips suitable for manual handling and lower-volume assembly. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging provides continuous reels suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both formats contain identical components; the distinction is handling and assembly methodology only.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. HS5J V7G, HS5J (TR), HS5J R7G, and ER5J are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. All parts meet environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications.

Q: Why is ER5J inventory significantly higher than Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation parts?

A: ER5J is currently in active production status, while HS5J V7G and HS5J R7G are discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Active production status supports higher inventory levels and long-term availability. ER5J represents a stable sourcing option for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Can HS5J R7G be used as a substitute?

A: HS5J R7G meets all electrical specifications and is a revision variant of the HS5J base product. However, this part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. It should be considered only when HS5J (TR) and ER5J are unavailable. For new designs and ongoing procurement, HS5J (TR) or ER5J are preferred due to active production status.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts comply with ROHS3 standards, carry EAR99 ECCN classification, and are REACH Unaffected (HS5J variants) or REACH Affected (ER5J). All parts operate across the -55°C to 150°C junction temperature range and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
