Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RGL41G/1 rectifier diode is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 400 V maximum DC reverse voltage, 1 A average rectified current, 1.3 V maximum forward voltage at 1 A, 150 ns reverse recovery time, 5 µA reverse leakage current at 400 V, and 15 pF capacitance at 4 V and 1 MHz. All parts utilize the same DO-213AB MELF (Glass) surface mount package and operate across the identical junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

The substitute parts differ in packaging format and regulatory compliance status. The RGL41G/1 is supplied in standard packaging, while substitute parts are available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® or Tape & Reel (TR) formats. Additionally, substitute parts BYM11-400-E3/96 and BYM11-400-E3/97 carry ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the RGL41G/1 is RoHS non-compliant. All parts share the same base series designation (SUPERECTIFIER®), active product status, and identical electrical performance characteristics.
