Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RGL41M/1 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All substitute parts must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 1000 V
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1 A
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.3 V @ 1 A
Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 500 ns
Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 5 µA @ 1000 V
Capacitance @ Vr, F: 15 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz
Package / Case: DO-213AB, MELF (Glass)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Operating Temperature - Junction: -65°C ~ 175°C

The substitute parts listed below meet all electrical specifications and package requirements. Differences in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel) and RoHS compliance status are noted but do not affect electrical interchangeability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RGL41M/1 and are classified as active products. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

RoHS Compliance: The RGL41M/1 is RoHS non-compliant, while BYM11-1000-E3/96, BYM11-1000-E3/97, and RGL41M-E3/96 are all ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations should utilize one of the compliant substitute parts.

Packaging Format: The RGL41M/1 is supplied in standard packaging format. BYM11-1000-E3/96 and BYM11-1000-E3/97 are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, while RGL41M-E3/96 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging selection depends on manufacturing equipment compatibility and procurement requirements.

Inventory Availability: BYM11-1000-E3/97 offers the highest inventory level at 10,769 pieces, followed by RGL41M-E3/96 at 14,599 pieces, BYM11-1000-E3/96 at 1,305 pieces, and RGL41M/1 at 831 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all listed substitute parts electrically identical to the RGL41M/1?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including reverse voltage rating (1000 V), average rectified current (1 A), forward voltage (1.3 V @ 1 A), reverse recovery time (500 ns), reverse leakage current (5 µA @ 1000 V), and junction capacitance (15 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz).

Q: What is the difference between the RGL41M/1 and RGL41M-E3/96?

A: Both parts share the same base product number (RGL41) and are electrically equivalent. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status (RGL41M/1 is non-compliant; RGL41M-E3/96 is ROHS3 compliant) and packaging format (standard versus Tape & Reel).

Q: Can I use BYM11-1000-E3/96 or BYM11-1000-E3/97 as direct replacements for RGL41M/1?

A: Yes. Both BYM11 variants are parametrically equivalent to the RGL41M/1 across all electrical and mechanical specifications. The BYM11 series is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format rather than standard packaging. Both variants are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Does the packaging format affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging format differences (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel versus standard) do not affect electrical performance or circuit compatibility. Format selection is determined by manufacturing equipment and procurement logistics.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental differences between these parts?

A: No. All parts share identical operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 175°C junction temperature), moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited), and REACH status (REACH Unaffected).

Q: Which substitute part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs subject to RoHS regulations, select BYM11-1000-E3/96, BYM11-1000-E3/97, or RGL41M-E3/96. All three are ROHS3 compliant and electrically equivalent. For applications without RoHS requirements, any of the four parts are suitable based on packaging and availability needs.
