1N5402-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 1N5402-TP is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in a DO-201AD axial through-hole package. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

The 1N5402-TP operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and complies with ROHS3 standards. Substitute parts must maintain electrical compatibility across voltage, current, and thermal specifications while accommodating modern packaging and availability requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1N5402-TP are grouped into three categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Direct Substitutes (Package Compatible - DO-27/DO-201AA): Parts HER303GA-G and HER303GT-G maintain identical electrical specifications (200 V, 3 A, 1 V forward voltage @ 3 A, 5 µA reverse leakage) with equivalent or improved recovery characteristics. These parts use DO-27 packaging, which is mechanically compatible with DO-201AD through-hole mounting. Both are manufactured by Comchip Technology and carry active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

Upgrade Substitutes (Same Package - DO-201AD): Parts GP30D-E3/54 and GP30D-E3/73 are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor and maintain the original DO-201AD package footprint. These parts operate within the same voltage and current specifications (200 V, 3 A) with extended junction temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) and carry active product status. Forward voltage is slightly elevated at 1.1 V @ 3 A.

Similar Substitutes (Electrical Equivalence): Parts 1N5187, 1N5402-E3/54, 1N5402-E3/73, 1N5402-G, 1N5402G, and 1N5402G-T maintain the core electrical specifications (200 V, 3 A) with variations in packaging format (Cut Tape, Tape & Box, Tape & Reel, Bulk) and recovery characteristics. All carry active product status and ROHS3 compliance except 1N5187, which is RoHS non-compliant.

Substitution eligibility is determined by:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 200 V minimum
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A minimum
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: ≤ 1.5 V @ rated current
Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: ≤ 5 µA @ 200 V
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Operating Temperature - Junction: Minimum -55°C, Maximum ≥ 150°C

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Package Replacement (DO-201AD Footprint): Select 1N5402G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) or 1N5402G-T (Diodes Incorporated) for immediate electrical and mechanical compatibility. Both parts maintain the original DO-201AD package, identical voltage and current ratings, and matching junction temperature range. Both carry active product status and ROHS3 compliance. 1N5402G offers the highest inventory availability (2110 pcs) and matches the original forward voltage specification (1 V @ 3 A).

For Extended Temperature Operation: Select GP30D-E3/54 or GP30D-E3/73 (Vishay General Semiconductor) when extended junction temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) is required. These parts maintain DO-201AD packaging and identical electrical specifications with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Forward voltage is marginally elevated at 1.1 V @ 3 A, which remains within acceptable limits for most applications.

For Fast Recovery Characteristics: Select HER303GT-G (Comchip Technology) when fast recovery performance (≤500ns) is beneficial. This part maintains 200 V, 3 A specifications with 50 ns reverse recovery time and active product status. DO-27 packaging is mechanically compatible with DO-201AD through-hole mounting. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed.

For RoHS Compliance Requirement: Avoid 1N5187 (Microchip Technology), which is RoHS non-compliant. All other substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance status.

For Highest Inventory Availability: Select 1N5402-E3/73 (Vishay General Semiconductor) with 8117 pcs in stock, or 1N5402G with 2110 pcs. Both maintain active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and electrical equivalence to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HER303GT-G replace 1N5402-TP in existing PCB designs? A: HER303GT-G uses DO-27 packaging while 1N5402-TP uses DO-201AD. Both are axial through-hole packages with compatible lead spacing and mounting characteristics. Mechanical substitution is feasible. Electrical specifications are equivalent (200 V, 3 A, 1 V forward voltage @ 3 A, 5 µA reverse leakage). Fast recovery performance (≤500ns) of HER303GT-G is superior to the standard recovery (>500ns) of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between 1N5402-E3/54 and 1N5402-E3/73? A: Both parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor with identical electrical specifications (200 V, 3 A, 1.2 V forward voltage @ 3 A). The primary difference is packaging format: 1N5402-E3/54 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format with 1573 pcs inventory, while 1N5402-E3/73 is also Cut Tape format with significantly higher inventory (8117 pcs). Both carry active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Is GP30D-E3/54 suitable for applications requiring the original -55°C to 150°C temperature range? A: GP30D-E3/54 operates across -65°C to 175°C, which exceeds the original specification. This extended range provides additional design margin and is fully compatible with applications requiring -55°C to 150°C operation. All other electrical parameters (200 V, 3 A, 5 µA reverse leakage) match the original part.

Q: Why does 1N5187 show different forward voltage specifications? A: 1N5187 forward voltage is specified at 1.5 V @ 9 A, whereas the original 1N5402-TP is specified at 1 V @ 3 A. These are different measurement conditions. At the original 3 A rating, 1N5187 forward voltage would be lower. However, 1N5187 is RoHS non-compliant and should be avoided for new designs requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Can 1N5402-G be used as a direct replacement for 1N5402-TP? A: 1N5402-G (Comchip Technology) maintains identical electrical specifications (200 V, 3 A, 1 V forward voltage @ 3 A, 5 µA reverse leakage) and DO-201AD packaging. The primary difference is operating temperature range: 1N5402-G operates -65°C to 125°C versus the original -55°C to 150°C. For applications operating above 125°C, this part is not suitable. For standard temperature operation, it is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What packaging formats are available for 1N5402 equivalent parts? A: Substitute parts are available in multiple packaging formats: DO-201AD (original package used by 1N5402-TP, 1N5402-E3/54, 1N5402-E3/73, 1N5402-G, 1N5402G, 1N5402G-T, GP30D-E3/54, GP30D-E3/73), DO-27 (HER303GA-G, HER303GT-G), and B Axial (1N5187). Tape & Reel (TR), Cut Tape (CT), Tape & Box (TB), and Bulk formats are available depending on the specific part number selected.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: All substitute parts except 1N5187 carry ROHS3 compliance status. 1N5187 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be selected for applications requiring RoHS compliance.
