Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Direct substitutes for RM 2 are determined strictly on the basis of electrical performance (rated voltage, current, reverse leakage, recovery speed), mechanical mounting, and packaging compatibility. In this product category (Diodes, Rectifiers), substitution is allowable where:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): Equivalent or higher
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): Equivalent or higher
• Mounting Type and Package/Case: Through-hole, Axial configuration
• Technology and Recovery Speed: Standard
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Matches or extends original range
• Compliance: RoHS, MSL, ECCN details provided

Only those alternatives meeting or exceeding these attributes without deviation are considered valid substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RM 2 diode from Sanken Electric USA Inc. is classified as obsolete. Both substitute parts, 1N5395-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and 1N5395G B0G from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, are active, RoHS compliant, and possess an equivalent or higher current and voltage rating. Moisture Sensitivity Level and ECCN remain consistent across all parts. These substitute diodes conform to the compliance and certification requirements specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which key parameters must match when selecting a substitute diode rectifier for RM 2?
A1: Substitution requires matching the voltage - DC reverse (Vr) (Max), current - average rectified (Io), mounting type, package/case, recovery speed, and regulatory compliance such as RoHS and MSL.

Q2: Can I use 1N5395-E3/73 or 1N5395G B0G directly in place of RM 2 without mechanical modification?
A2: Both substitute diodes use through-hole axial packaging, aligning with RM 2's mechanical mounting. Verify package/case size compatibility if physical constraints are critical to the application.

Q3: Does the difference in forward voltage impact substitution?
A3: All substitute diodes exhibit forward voltage ratings at 1.5A; differences reflected are within typical variations for general-purpose rectifiers in this category.

Q4: How does product status affect substitute selection?
A4: RM 2 is obsolete, while the substitute diodes are active, ensuring continued availability within required compliance.

Q5: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity level or export control codes?
A5: MSL is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, and ECCN remains EAR99, ensuring equivalency in storage and regulatory handling.
