Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RS602 are grouped based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): Must be ≥ 100 V
Current - Average Rectified (Io): Must be ≥ 6 A
Diode Type: Single Phase
Technology: Standard
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Package Compatibility: RS-6 or equivalent 4-SIP footprint

Parts meeting these criteria maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RS602 application requirements. Parts with higher voltage or current ratings are acceptable as they operate within the same functional envelope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Electrical Equivalents (100V, 6A Rating)

GBU601-G (Comchip Technology) and GBU601 (SMC Diode Solutions) provide direct electrical equivalence to the RS602 with identical voltage and current ratings. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 150°C). GBU601-G maintains the same forward voltage and reverse leakage characteristics as the RS602.

Higher Current Capacity Alternatives (100V Rating)

GBU801-G (Comchip Technology) offers 8A average rectified current at the same 100V rating, providing additional current margin. This part is suitable for applications where current headroom is beneficial.

Package-Compatible Higher Voltage Options (RS-6 Package)

RS605-BP, RS1005-BP, RS1006-BP, and RS1007-BP maintain the RS-6 through-hole package footprint with voltage ratings of 600V, 600V, 800V, and 1kV respectively. These parts accommodate applications requiring higher voltage withstand capability while preserving mechanical compatibility.

Lower Current Alternatives (100V Rating)

GBU401-G and GBU2501-G provide 4A and 4.2A ratings respectively at 100V. These parts are suitable only for applications with reduced current requirements below 6A.

All recommended substitutes are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring long-term availability and environmental compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GBU601-G directly replace RS602 in my circuit?

A: Yes. GBU601-G matches the RS602 electrical specifications (100V, 6A) and maintains identical forward voltage and reverse leakage parameters. The 4-SIP GBU package footprint is mechanically compatible with RS-6 through-hole applications.

Q: What is the difference between GBU601 and GBU601-G?

A: GBU601 is manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions and supplied in tube packaging. GBU601-G is manufactured by Comchip Technology and supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications for the RS602 application.

Q: Can I use RS605-BP instead of RS602?

A: RS605-BP is electrically compatible with the RS602 for voltage and current requirements (600V, 6A). The higher voltage rating does not affect circuit operation. Both parts use the RS-6 through-hole package. Selection depends on application voltage requirements and thermal considerations.

Q: Why do some substitutes have higher current ratings than 6A?

A: Parts such as GBU801-G (8A) and RS1005-BP (10A) provide additional current capacity while maintaining the same or higher voltage ratings. These parts are suitable for applications where current margin is desired, though they are not required for RS602 replacement.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All active substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. The RS602 is also ROHS3 compliant. Compliance status is maintained across all recommended alternatives.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between RS602 and its substitutes?

A: The RS602 operates from -55°C to 125°C. All active substitute parts operate from -55°C to 150°C, providing an extended upper temperature range of 25°C. This extended range does not affect compatibility in applications within the RS602 temperature envelope.

Q: Can I use GBU401-G or GBU2501-G as RS602 replacements?

A: GBU401-G and GBU2501-G have reduced current ratings (4A and 4.2A respectively) compared to the RS602 (6A). These parts are suitable only for applications with maximum current requirements below 6A and should not be used as direct replacements for 6A-rated designs.
