Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PDR5KF-13 is based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) rating of 800 V or higher
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) rating of 5 A or higher
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr) of 500 ns or faster
• Forward voltage characteristics suitable for 5 A operation

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Surface Mount mounting type
• PowerDI™ 5 package configuration

Compliance and Status Criteria:

• Active product status for ongoing availability
• ROHS3 compliance for regulatory alignment
• Diodes Incorporated manufacturer source for design continuity

The RS5KP5-13 satisfies these substitution requirements as an active product from the same manufacturer, maintaining the specified electrical ratings and package configuration while providing current market availability.
