HS5M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HS5M is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, classified as a fast recovery diode in the standard technology category. This surface mount component operates at 1000 V DC reverse voltage with a 5 A average rectified current rating and features a 75 ns reverse recovery time. The HS5M is actively produced and maintains full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support supply chain continuity, procurement flexibility, and design validation across manufacturing environments.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HS5M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Voltage Rating: Maximum DC reverse voltage must equal or exceed 1000 V to maintain circuit protection and reliability margins.

Current Rating: Average rectified current must equal or exceed 5 A to support the intended load without thermal stress or performance degradation.

Recovery Characteristics: Reverse recovery time must not exceed 75 ns to preserve switching performance and minimize switching losses in fast-switching applications.

Package Compatibility: The substitute part must use the DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly processes.

Mounting Type: Surface mount technology is required for compatibility with automated assembly equipment and board design specifications.

Temperature Range: Operating junction temperature range must encompass -55°C to 150°C to support the full operational environment.

Compliance Status: RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) are mandatory to meet regulatory requirements and manufacturing process compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HS5M is an active product with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), indicating suitability for standard manufacturing and storage conditions without special handling requirements. The part maintains REACH unaffected status and is classified under ECCN EAR99, confirming compliance with export and regulatory frameworks.

Selection of equivalent parts for the HS5M application must prioritize parts with identical electrical specifications across voltage, current, and recovery time parameters. The DO-214AB (SMC) package specification is non-negotiable for PCB compatibility and assembly process alignment.

The active product status of the HS5M ensures continued availability and manufacturing support. Parts selected as substitutes must maintain equivalent active status to guarantee long-term supply chain reliability and consistent quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines a valid substitute for the HS5M rectifier diode?

A: A valid substitute must match all critical parameters: 1000 V maximum DC reverse voltage, 5 A average rectified current, 75 ns reverse recovery time, DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. The substitute must also maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Q: Can the HS5M be replaced with a diode having a higher voltage rating?

A: A diode with a higher voltage rating (for example, 1200 V or 1600 V) is electrically compatible from a voltage standpoint. However, substitution is valid only if all other parameters—current rating, recovery time, package type, and temperature range—remain identical to the HS5M specification.

Q: Is the DO-214AB (SMC) package interchangeable with other surface mount packages?

A: No. The DO-214AB (SMC) package is specific to this component footprint and pinout. Substitution with different surface mount packages (such as DO-214AC or other variants) requires PCB redesign and is not considered a direct substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the 75 ns reverse recovery time specification?

A: The 75 ns reverse recovery time classifies the HS5M as a fast recovery diode. This parameter directly affects switching performance and switching loss characteristics. Substitutes must maintain this specification to preserve circuit performance in high-frequency or fast-switching applications.

Q: Does the HS5M require special storage or handling procedures?

A: No. The MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating indicates that the HS5M does not require moisture-controlled storage or special handling procedures. Standard warehouse conditions are appropriate for this component.

Q: Are there any differences between the main part number HS5M and its substitute listing?

A: The provided data indicates that the main part number HS5M and its substitute listing are identical in all electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Both reference the same manufacturer part number, package type, and performance characteristics.
