Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the S10GC M6 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence across the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical for Function):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 400 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 10 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 10 A
• Speed: Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 1 µA @ 400 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 60 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

Mechanical Parameters (Critical for Integration):

• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct electrical and mechanical equivalents.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The S10GCH is a direct parametric equivalent to the S10GC M6, meeting all electrical and mechanical specifications. The S10GCH is classified as an active product with current availability, whereas the S10GC M6 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Both parts are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and comply with ROHS3 standards.

The S10GCH is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, whereas the S10GC M6 was supplied in bulk packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and reflects standard industry supply chain practices for active products.

The S10GCH carries automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101), which indicates enhanced reliability screening and is compatible with applications requiring the S10GC M6 specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S10GCH directly replace the S10GC M6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The S10GCH meets all electrical parameters (400 V reverse voltage, 10 A average rectified current, 1.1 V forward voltage at 10 A, standard recovery speed, 1 µA reverse leakage, and 60 pF capacitance) and mechanical parameters (DO-214AB SMC package, surface mount, -55°C to 150°C operating range) of the S10GC M6. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the S10GC M6 and S10GCH packaging?

A: The S10GC M6 was supplied in bulk packaging, while the S10GCH is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for active production parts and facilitates automated assembly processes.

Q: Does the automotive qualification of the S10GCH affect its use in non-automotive applications?

A: No. Automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) indicates additional reliability screening and does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. The S10GCH is fully compatible with all applications requiring the S10GC M6 specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the S10GC M6 and S10GCH?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.10.0080. Compliance status is identical.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both the S10GC M6 and S10GCH have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.
