Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed—BYM11-400-E3/97, BYM11-400-E3/96, and RGL41G-E3/96—are direct parametric equivalents to the RGL41G-E3/97 and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring a 400 V, 1 A fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-213AB surface mount packaging.

Selection Basis:

All parts maintain Active product status and are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. All parts carry identical electrical specifications including reverse voltage rating, forward voltage drop, reverse recovery time, and leakage current characteristics. All parts are rated for the same operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) and feature identical capacitance characteristics.

Packaging Considerations:

The RGL41G-E3/97 and RGL41G-E3/96 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while BYM11-400-E3/96 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. The BYM11-400-E3/97 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Selection between these options depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements. All packaging formats are suitable for automated surface mount assembly processes.

Base Product Number Differentiation:

The RGL41 and BYM11 base product numbers represent different product lines within the SUPERECTIFIER® series. Both lines deliver identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between RGL41 and BYM11 series parts is based on supply chain availability and inventory management requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BYM11-400-E3/97 be used as a direct replacement for RGL41G-E3/97?

A: Yes. The BYM11-400-E3/97 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, package type (DO-213AB), and mounting configuration. The only difference is the base product number designation (BYM11 versus RGL41) and packaging format (both are Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the difference between the /97 and /96 suffix designations?

A: The /97 and /96 suffixes indicate different packaging formats. The /97 designation indicates Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the /96 designation indicates either Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging depending on the base product number. All electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Is BYM11-400-E3/96 compatible with assembly equipment designed for RGL41G-E3/97?

A: Yes. The BYM11-400-E3/96 is packaged in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, while the RGL41G-E3/97 is packaged in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats are compatible with standard surface mount assembly equipment. Compatibility depends on the specific feeder configuration of your assembly line. Verify feeder compatibility with your equipment manufacturer if transitioning between packaging formats.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts—BYM11-400-E3/97, BYM11-400-E3/96, and RGL41G-E3/96—are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the RGL41G-E3/97.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-frequency switching applications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical reverse recovery time (150 ns) and fast recovery speed classification (≤ 500ns, > 200mA), supporting high-frequency switching applications. Electrical performance is identical across all listed equivalents.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for all substitute parts?

A: All parts, including the RGL41G-E3/97 and all substitutes, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are there any thermal performance differences between substitute parts?

A: No. All substitute parts are rated for identical operating junction temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) and carry identical electrical specifications that determine thermal performance characteristics.
