A lot of times hobbyist circuits are designed with thru-hole components since they're easier to solder. What approach do you take when attempting to find the SMT equivalent of a TH part?
For example, I'm trying to find the cheapest SMT diode that is equivalent to the extremely popular 1N4001. In my attempt to do this, I went to digi-key, chose the correct product category, and started using filters for things like current, voltage, etc. I ended up finding the Diodes Incorporated S1J-13-F.
1N4001 Specs:
Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max) 50V
Current - Average Rectified (Io) 1A
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If 1V @ 1A
Speed Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)
Reverse Recovery Time (trr) -
Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr 5µA @ 50V
Capacitance @ Vr, F 15pF @ 4V, 1MHz
Thermal Resistance 100°C/W Ja
Operating Temperature - Junction -65°C ~ 150°C
S1J-13-F Specs:
Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max) 600V
Current - Average Rectified (Io) 1A
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If 1.1V @ 1A
Speed Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)
Reverse Recovery Time (trr) 3µs
Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr 5µA @ 600V
Capacitance @ Vr, F 10pF @ 4V, 1MHz
Thermal Resistance 30°C/W Jl
Operating Temperature - Junction -65°C ~ 150°C
Since the specs for both seem comparable, can I assume this SMT device will "just work" when I put it in a circuit with a 1N4001 shown?
