Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are identified based strictly on match with the provided key parameters. For the VS-12FR60M diode, the replacement must meet the same reverse polarity, voltage rating, average rectified current, forward voltage at test current, recovery speed, mounting style, package, and thermal/electrical compliance characteristics. Only those parts that match exactly on these parameters are classified as substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both VS-12FR60M and VS-12FR60 are listed as active products, are ROHS3 compliant, have a moisture sensitivity level of 1 (Unlimited), and are REACH unaffected. Selecting between these parts is equivalently valid where inventory, compliance, and regulatory requirements match exactly as specified.
