Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is permitted when the following key parameters are equal to or exceed those of the original part without introducing functionality deviations: Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max), Current - Average Rectified (Io), Speed category (Standard Recovery >500ns, >200mA (Io)), Reverse Recovery Time (trr), Mounting Type, Package / Case, and Regulatory Compliance. These criteria ensure compatibility for both electrical and mechanical fit while maintaining required regulatory status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Obsolescence of the Sanken Electric USA Inc. RP 3F necessitates substitution by an active and compliant part. BY228GP-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division is an active product, RoHS3 compliant, with the same category, regulatory classifications, and equal or greater electrical ratings. Both components meet Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) and share REACH Unaffected and EAR99 regulatory designations.
