• Voltage Rating: 800 V DC reverse voltage (Vr) maximum
• Current Rating: 2 A average rectified current (Io)
• Forward Voltage: 1 V maximum at 2 A forward current
• Recovery Speed: Standard recovery >500 ns at >200 mA
• Reverse Leakage: 5 µA maximum at 800 V
• Package Type: DO-15 or DO-204AC through-hole axial configuration
• Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C junction operating range
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1

Parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent: RL206GP-AP maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status and improved inventory availability.

Parametric Equivalents: 2A06GA0G and 2A06GHA0G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) satisfy all electrical parameters within specification. The 2A06GHA0G includes automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101), suitable for applications requiring automotive compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RL206GP-AP is the primary substitute for 2A06-AP. Both parts are manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. RL206GP-AP holds active product status with higher inventory availability (1084 pcs vs. 638 pcs), ensuring long-term procurement viability. This part is suitable for all applications where 2A06-AP was originally specified.

2A06GA0G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) serves as a parametric equivalent for general-purpose applications. All electrical parameters match the 2A06-AP specification. Capacitance is slightly lower (15 pF vs. 20 pF), which is within acceptable tolerance for standard rectifier applications. This part maintains active status and ROHS3 compliance.

2A06GHA0G is selected for applications requiring automotive-grade components. This part carries AEC-Q101 qualification and meets all electrical specifications of the 2A06-AP. The automotive qualification adds process and reliability assurance for automotive and safety-critical applications. Capacitance specification is identical to 2A06GA0G at 15 pF.

Selection between these substitutes depends on application requirements: use RL206GP-AP for direct replacement in standard applications; use 2A06GA0G or 2A06GHA0G when sourcing from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation is preferred or when automotive qualification is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RL206GP-AP be used as a direct replacement for 2A06-AP?

A: Yes. RL206GP-AP is manufactured by the same company (Micro Commercial Co) and maintains identical electrical specifications, forward voltage, reverse leakage, recovery speed, and operating temperature range. Both use DO-15 through-hole axial packaging. The primary difference is product status: RL206GP-AP is active while 2A06-AP is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between 2A06GA0G and 2A06GHA0G?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and satisfy identical electrical parameters for the 2A06-AP. The 2A06GHA0G includes automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101), making it suitable for automotive applications. Non-automotive applications can use either part. Capacitance specification is identical at 15 pF for both.

Q: Are the Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation parts (2A06GA0G and 2A06GHA0G) compatible with the original 2A06-AP in terms of package?

A: Yes. Both Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation parts use DO-204AC (DO-15) through-hole axial packaging, which is mechanically and electrically compatible with the original 2A06-AP DO-15 package. Pin configuration and lead spacing are identical.

Q: Does the lower capacitance (15 pF vs. 20 pF) in the Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation parts affect circuit performance?

A: The capacitance difference is within normal manufacturing tolerance for general-purpose rectifier diodes. Both values are specified at 4 V and 1 MHz. For standard rectification applications, this variation does not affect functional performance. Applications with specific capacitance requirements should evaluate circuit impact independently.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: RL206GP-AP is recommended for new designs requiring Micro Commercial Co sourcing. For designs open to multiple manufacturers, 2A06GA0G provides an active alternative. For automotive applications, 2A06GHA0G with AEC-Q101 qualification is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (RL206GP-AP, 2A06GA0G, and 2A06GHA0G) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, matching the compliance profile of the original 2A06-AP.
