Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the S15GLW RVG are identified through parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must match exactly:

• Voltage Rating: 400 V DC reverse voltage maximum
• Current Rating: 1.5 A average rectified current
• Forward Voltage Drop: 1.1 V maximum at 1.5 A
• Recovery Speed: Standard recovery >500 ns at >200 mA
• Reverse Leakage: 1 µA at 400 V
• Package Type: SOD-123W surface mount package
• Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C junction operating range
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and direct functional substitutes. No deviations in electrical performance or mechanical form factor are permitted for substitution classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S15GLWHRVG be used as a direct replacement for the S15GLW RVG?

A: Yes. The S15GLWHRVG is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging. All critical parameters including voltage rating (400 V), current rating (1.5 A), forward voltage drop (1.1 V @ 1.5 A), recovery speed, reverse leakage, and operating temperature range match exactly. Both components use the SOD-123W surface mount package.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or certifications between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical compliance designations: RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and MSL 1 (Unlimited). Both maintain Active product status with full manufacturing support.

Q: What is the significance of the SOD-123W package for substitution?

A: The SOD-123W package is a surface mount form factor that determines physical placement and soldering requirements on printed circuit boards. Both the S15GLW RVG and S15GLWHRVG use this identical package, ensuring mechanical compatibility and interchangeability in circuit board layouts without requiring design modifications.

Q: How do the reverse voltage and current ratings affect substitution eligibility?

A: The reverse voltage rating (400 V maximum) and average rectified current rating (1.5 A) are fundamental electrical specifications that determine the component's operating envelope. Substitutes must match these values exactly to ensure the component functions correctly within the circuit's voltage and current requirements. Both parts are rated identically at 400 V and 1.5 A.

Q: What does the forward voltage drop specification mean for circuit design?

A: The forward voltage drop (1.1 V maximum at 1.5 A) represents the voltage loss across the diode when conducting current in the forward direction. This parameter affects power dissipation and circuit efficiency. Both parts specify identical forward voltage characteristics, ensuring equivalent circuit performance.

Q: Is the recovery speed specification important for substitution?

A: Yes. The recovery speed (Standard Recovery >500 ns at >200 mA) characterizes how quickly the diode transitions from conducting to blocking state. This parameter affects switching behavior and harmonic content in rectification circuits. Both parts share identical recovery speed specifications, confirming functional equivalence.

Q: What does reverse leakage current indicate?

A: Reverse leakage current (1 µA at 400 V) represents the small current that flows through the diode when reverse biased. Lower leakage indicates better diode quality and reduced power loss in blocking mode. Both parts specify identical reverse leakage characteristics.

Q: Are there any temperature-related considerations for substitution?

A: Both parts operate across the identical junction temperature range of -55°C to 175°C. This matching specification ensures equivalent thermal performance and reliability across the full operating temperature envelope. No temperature-related substitution restrictions apply.
