Engineering Selection Recommendations

RGL41B/1 (Primary Part)

The RGL41B/1 is the original part number and carries Active product status. This part is RoHS non-compliant, which may present regulatory constraints in applications subject to RoHS3 requirements. Selection of this part number is appropriate for legacy designs, applications with existing RoHS exemptions, or where non-compliant component status is acceptable.

BYM11-100-E3/96 (Substitute - Recommended for RoHS3 Compliance)

The BYM11-100-E3/96 is a parametric equivalent that maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications identical to the RGL41B/1. This part carries RoHS3 Compliant certification and is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format. Selection of this part number is appropriate for new designs requiring RoHS3 compliance, high-volume manufacturing processes utilizing automated tape-and-reel handling, and applications where regulatory compliance is mandatory.

RGL41B-E3/96 (Substitute - Same Base Series with RoHS3 Compliance)

The RGL41B-E3/96 maintains the same base product number (RGL41) as the primary part while incorporating RoHS3 Compliant certification. This part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format. Selection of this part number is appropriate for design continuity within the RGL41 product family, applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, and manufacturing processes utilizing automated tape-and-reel assembly.

All three part numbers are Active products manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and are suitable for direct substitution based on electrical and mechanical equivalence. The primary differentiation factors are RoHS compliance status and packaging format (bulk versus Tape & Reel).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BYM11-100-E3/96 be used as a direct replacement for RGL41B/1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The BYM11-100-E3/96 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (100 V reverse voltage, 1 A average rectified current, 1.3 V forward voltage, 150 ns reverse recovery time) and mechanical specifications (DO-213AB surface mount package). The parts are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between RGL41B/1 and RGL41B-E3/96?

A: Both parts share the same base product number (RGL41) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: RGL41B/1 is RoHS non-compliant, while RGL41B-E3/96 is RoHS3 Compliant. Additionally, RGL41B-E3/96 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, whereas RGL41B/1 packaging format is not specified in the provided data.
