Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RGL41BHE3/97 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the rectifier diode category. The substitution criteria are strictly defined by the following parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max) = 100 V
• Current Rating: Current - Average Rectified (Io) = 1 A
• Forward Voltage: Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If = 1.3 V @ 1 A
• Recovery Characteristics: Reverse Recovery Time (trr) = 150 ns; Speed Classification = Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Reverse Leakage: Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr = 5 µA @ 100 V
• Capacitance: Capacitance @ Vr, F = 15 pF @ 4V, 1MHz
• Package: DO-213AB, MELF (Glass); Surface Mount
• Temperature Range: Operating Temperature - Junction = -65°C to 175°C
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant; REACH Unaffected; Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) = 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical specifications identically. Differences in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and inventory availability do not affect functional equivalence.
