Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2A04-AP is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 400 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1 V @ 2 A
• Speed: Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 5 µA @ 400 V

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DO-204AC, DO-15, Axial
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical parameters at their specified test conditions and maintain mechanical compatibility with the DO-15 package form factor. Parts are grouped as parametric equivalents when all electrical and mechanical specifications match the 2A04-AP. Parts with reduced current ratings are classified as similar alternatives and are suitable only when circuit design permits lower current operation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalents (Direct Substitutes):

The 2A04G A0G and 2A04GHA0G are parametric equivalents to the 2A04-AP. Both parts are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and maintain active product status. These parts satisfy all electrical specifications at identical test conditions and are mechanically compatible with the DO-15 package. Both are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

The 2A04GHA0G provides additional qualification through AEC-Q101 automotive certification and automotive-grade designation, making it suitable for applications requiring automotive-level reliability and traceability.

Similar Alternative (Reduced Current Rating):

The 1N5395GHA0G is a similar alternative with a reduced average rectified current rating of 1.5 A compared to the 2A04-AP specification of 2 A. This part maintains the same 400 V reverse voltage rating, forward voltage characteristics, and recovery speed. The 1N5395GHA0G is qualified to AEC-Q101 and carries automotive-grade designation. This part is suitable only for circuit designs where the 1.5 A current rating satisfies the application requirements.

Product Status Consideration:

The 2A04-AP is classified as obsolete. The 2A04G A0G and 2A04GHA0G are active products from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, providing long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Selection between these two active equivalents depends on whether automotive-grade qualification and AEC-Q101 certification are required by the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1N5395GHA0G replace the 2A04-AP in all applications?

A: The 1N5395GHA0G is a similar alternative with a reduced average rectified current rating of 1.5 A. It can replace the 2A04-AP only in applications where the circuit design operates at or below 1.5 A. Applications requiring the full 2 A rating must use 2A04G A0G or 2A04GHA0G.

Q: What is the difference between 2A04G A0G and 2A04GHA0G?

A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications. The 2A04GHA0G carries automotive-grade designation and AEC-Q101 qualification, while the 2A04G A0G does not. Selection depends on whether automotive-level reliability and traceability are required.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the DO-15 package footprint?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed use the DO-204AC, DO-15, Axial package form factor and are mechanically compatible with the 2A04-AP footprint.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, matching the 2A04-AP compliance profile.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts operate across the same junction temperature range as the 2A04-AP: -55°C to 150°C.

Q: Why is the 2A04-AP classified as obsolete?

A: The 2A04-AP is an obsolete product from Micro Commercial Co. The active equivalents 2A04G A0G and 2A04GHA0G from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation provide continued availability and support for this application.

Q: Can forward voltage differences affect circuit performance?

A: All substitute parts maintain the same forward voltage specification of 1 V at their respective rated currents. The 1N5395GHA0G is specified at 1 V @ 1.5 A, while 2A04G A0G and 2A04GHA0G are specified at 1 V @ 2 A. Forward voltage characteristics remain consistent across all parts at their rated operating points.
