Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 20ETF02STRL

Part Overview

The 20ETF02STRL is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This component is rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage with a 20 A average rectified current capacity and features fast recovery characteristics with a 160 ns reverse recovery time. The device is housed in a TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface mount package with two leads and a tab configuration.

The 20ETF02STRL is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to support ongoing production requirements, maintenance operations, and system redesigns where this component is specified in existing designs.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VS-20ETF02S-M3 is a parametric equivalent to the 20ETF02STRL. Both components share identical electrical ratings and mechanical specifications, including voltage, current, forward voltage drop, reverse recovery time, and package configuration.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 20ETF02STRL is classified as obsolete, whereas the VS-20ETF02S-M3 is active and available. Additionally, the VS-20ETF02S-M3 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the 20ETF02STRL is RoHS non-compliant. Both components are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

For applications requiring an active, in-production component with current regulatory compliance, the VS-20ETF02S-M3 is the appropriate selection. The electrical and thermal performance characteristics are identical, ensuring functional compatibility in existing circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VS-20ETF02S-M3 be used as a direct replacement for the 20ETF02STRL?

A: Yes. The VS-20ETF02S-M3 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical ratings (200 V, 20 A, 1.3 V forward voltage, 160 ns reverse recovery time) and mechanical specifications (TO-263AB package, surface mount configuration, -40°C to 150°C operating range). Direct substitution is supported from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 20ETF02STRL is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The VS-20ETF02S-M3 is active and ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and thermal parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both components use the TO-263-3 (D2PAK) package with two leads and a tab. The physical footprint and pinout are identical, allowing for direct PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The 20ETF02STRL has 822 pieces in stock. The VS-20ETF02S-M3 has 987 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components.

Q: Does the packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 20ETF02STRL is supplied without specified packaging. The VS-20ETF02S-M3 is supplied in tube packaging. Both components are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications; packaging format does not affect functional performance.
