Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the S5GC are identified through parametric equivalence matching. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent devices:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 400 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.15 V @ 5 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 400 V
• Speed: Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 40 pF @ 4V, 1MHz
• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -65°C to 150°C
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Technology: Standard

The S5GC-13-F from Diodes Incorporated meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution in applications designed for the S5GC.
