Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RGL41K-E3/96 and BYM11-800-E3/96 are Active product status devices with identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than performance differentiation.

RGL41K-E3/96 is suitable for applications where the RGL41 base product number is specified or preferred within existing design documentation.

BYM11-800-E3/96 is suitable for applications where the BYM11 base product number is specified or where higher inventory availability is required (5363 pcs in stock versus 1580 pcs).

Both devices maintain full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations. The MSL 1 rating indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. Operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C junction temperature supports industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BYM11-800-E3/96 be used as a direct replacement for RGL41K-E3/96?

A: Yes. Both devices are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (800 V, 1 A), forward voltage characteristics (1.3 V @ 1 A), recovery time (500 ns), and package type (DO-213AB surface mount). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are there differences in the DO-213AB package between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the identical DO-213AB MELF (Glass) surface mount package with the same mechanical and thermal characteristics.

Q: What is the difference between the RGL41 and BYM11 base product numbers?

A: The base product numbers identify different product lines within the SUPERECTIFIER® series. For the 800 V, 1 A rating with fast recovery characteristics, both base products offer equivalent performance. The difference is in product line designation only.
