Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RGF1MHE3_A/I is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 1000 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.3 V @ 1 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 500 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 5 µA @ 1000 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 8.5 pF @ 4V, 1MHz
• Package / Case: DO-214BA (GF1)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -65°C ~ 175°C

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical performance specifications and physical package compatibility. Substitutes differ in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH status, MSL rating).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RGF1M-7000HE3_A/I and RGF1M-7000HE3_B/I: These parts are direct parametric equivalents to the RGF1MHE3_A/I with Active product status. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101). These parts carry ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, and REACH Unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory compliance for new designs and procurement continuity.

RGF1M-E3/67A: This part is a direct parametric equivalent supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format. It maintains identical electrical specifications and automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101). The RGF1M-E3/67A carries ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, and REACH Unaffected status. This part offers the highest inventory availability (29,630 Pcs) and is suitable for high-volume production applications requiring reel packaging.

All substitute parts are qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards and are suitable for direct replacement in applications where the RGF1MHE3_A/I was originally specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RGF1M-7000HE3_A/I, RGF1M-7000HE3_B/I, and RGF1M-E3/67A be used interchangeably with RGF1MHE3_A/I?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts maintain identical electrical parameters including reverse voltage (1000 V), average rectified current (1 A), forward voltage (1.3 V @ 1 A), reverse recovery time (500 ns), reverse leakage current (5 µA @ 1000 V), and junction capacitance (8.5 pF @ 4V, 1MHz). All are packaged in DO-214BA (GF1) surface mount format with identical operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 175°C).

Q: What is the difference between RGF1M-7000HE3_A/I and RGF1M-7000HE3_B/I?

A: Both parts are parametrically identical with Active product status. The designation difference (_A/I vs. _B/I) reflects manufacturing or qualification variants. Both maintain identical electrical specifications, AEC-Q101 qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these variants depends on specific procurement or supply chain requirements.

Q: Why is RGF1M-E3/67A packaged differently?

A: RGF1M-E3/67A is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, which is standard for high-volume automated assembly operations. The electrical specifications remain identical to other substitutes. Tape & Reel packaging is preferred for production environments requiring continuous component feeding into pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Are all substitute parts automotive-qualified?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (RGF1M-7000HE3_A/I, RGF1M-7000HE3_B/I, and RGF1M-E3/67A) carry Automotive grade classification and AEC-Q101 qualification, matching the original RGF1MHE3_A/I specification.

Q: What compliance certifications do the substitute parts carry?

A: All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and REACH Unaffected status. These certifications exceed the specifications of the obsolete RGF1MHE3_A/I, providing enhanced regulatory compliance for current and future applications.

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

A: For new designs, RGF1M-E3/67A is recommended due to Active product status, highest inventory availability (29,630 Pcs), Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly, and full compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1). For applications with specific packaging requirements, RGF1M-7000HE3_A/I or RGF1M-7000HE3_B/I provide equivalent performance in alternative packaging formats.
