Package: SOD-723Taiwan Semiconductor Co., Ltd.Diodes - Rectifiers - SingleDiode Type: SchottkyReverse Voltage (VR): 30 VAverage Rectified Forward Current (IO): 100 mAForward Voltage (VF): 0.35 VReverse Current (IR): 10 µA

Finding a substitute for the RB520G-30, a 30V 200mA Schottky diode in a SOD-723 package, involves matching its small footprint and electrical characteristics. Several options exist, from pin-compatible crosses to functional alternatives.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

If the correct 200mA version of RB521G-30 is used, electrical risk is minimal. Using a 100mA version poses a high risk.

Package risklow

For RB521G-30, the package is identical. For other functional alternates, package risk is high, requiring a board redesign.

Sourcing risklow

The RB52xG-30 part number is common, but some variants are obsolete. Verify lifecycle and stock.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for RB520G-30 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

RB521G-30 is the most promising path for a direct replacement, as it shares the same package and key electrical ratings. However, careful verification of the specific manufacturer's datasheet is required.

Main risk

The primary risk is sourcing a version of a substitute that has a lower current rating than the target's 200mA, which could lead to device failure under load.
