60S2-TP General Purpose Rectifier Diode Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 60S2-TP is a general purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage and 6 A average rectified current in a DO-201AD axial through-hole package. This component is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has reached end-of-life status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support where the original part is no longer readily available or where design flexibility permits component substitution within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 60S2-TP is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 200 V minimum
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 6 A minimum
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Package / Case: Axial configuration
Technology: Standard recovery rectifier
Speed: Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or exceed the application's thermal requirements
RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status maintained
Forward Voltage (Vf): Electrical performance within acceptable operating margins
Reverse Leakage Current: Acceptable for circuit application

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on current rating alignment:

Category A - Full Current Rating Match (6 A): Parts with 6 A average rectified current rating provide direct electrical equivalence to the 60S2-TP.

Category B - Reduced Current Rating (3 A): Parts with lower current ratings are listed for reference but require circuit-level evaluation to confirm suitability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Full Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence):

The 6A02-G, 6A02B-G, GI752-E3/54, and GI752-E3/73 are direct substitutes for the 60S2-TP. All four parts maintain the 200 V reverse voltage rating and 6 A average rectified current specification. All substitute parts carry Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability and regulatory alignment superior to the end-of-life 60S2-TP.

The 6A02-G and 6A02B-G (Comchip Technology) are functionally identical, differing only in packaging format (Tape & Box versus Bulk). Both operate within the -55°C to 125°C junction temperature range, which is narrower than the 60S2-TP but sufficient for most standard applications. Forward voltage performance matches the 60S2-TP at 1 V @ 6 A.

The GI752-E3/54 and GI752-E3/73 (Vishay General Semiconductor) offer superior forward voltage performance at 900 mV @ 6 A, reducing power dissipation in high-current applications. Operating temperature range spans -50°C to 150°C, matching the upper limit of the 60S2-TP. These parts are available in higher inventory quantities (1790 and 2486 units respectively).

Secondary Substitute (Reduced Current Rating):

The 1N5550 (Solid State Inc.) maintains the 200 V reverse voltage rating but is rated for 3 A average rectified current, half the 60S2-TP specification. This part is suitable only for applications where the circuit current requirement does not exceed 3 A. The 1N5550 offers the widest operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C) and lowest reverse leakage current (1 µA @ 200 V). Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance.

Packaging Considerations:

The 60S2-TP uses DO-201AD package. Substitute parts employ alternative axial packages (R-6 and P600) that are mechanically compatible with through-hole PCB layouts but may require physical board layout verification due to dimensional differences. All substitute parts maintain axial lead configuration suitable for through-hole mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1N5550 be used as a direct replacement for the 60S2-TP?

A: The 1N5550 is electrically compatible at the 200 V reverse voltage rating but is rated for 3 A average rectified current versus the 60S2-TP's 6 A rating. Substitution is valid only if the circuit current requirement does not exceed 3 A. If the application requires the full 6 A capability, the 1N5550 is not suitable.

Q: What is the difference between 6A02-G and 6A02B-G?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Comchip Technology with identical electrical specifications (200 V, 6 A, 1 V @ 6 A forward voltage). The difference is packaging format: 6A02-G is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) format, while 6A02B-G is supplied in Bulk format. Electrical performance and PCB compatibility are identical.

Q: Are the GI752-E3/54 and GI752-E3/73 interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor with identical electrical specifications and operating parameters. The difference is in packaging tape reel designation (/54 versus /73), which reflects supplier tape configuration only and does not affect electrical performance or PCB compatibility.

Q: Does the narrower operating temperature range of the 6A02-G and 6A02B-G (-55°C to 125°C) affect substitution suitability?

A: The narrower range is acceptable if the application's maximum junction temperature does not exceed 125°C. If the circuit operates at junction temperatures above 125°C, the GI752-E3/54 or GI752-E3/73 (rated to 150°C) are more appropriate selections.

Q: What is the advantage of the GI752 series forward voltage specification of 900 mV versus 1 V?

A: The lower forward voltage (900 mV @ 6 A) reduces power dissipation in the diode during conduction. In high-current or continuous-duty applications, this results in lower junction temperature rise and improved thermal performance compared to parts with 1 V forward voltage specification.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (1N5550, 6A02-G, 6A02B-G, GI752-E3/54, GI752-E3/73) carry ROHS3 Compliant status, matching the compliance level of the 60S2-TP.

Q: Can the different axial package types (DO-201AD, R-6, P600) be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: All packages are axial through-hole configurations and are mechanically compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts. However, physical dimensions may differ. PCB layout verification is required to confirm that lead spacing and component body dimensions accommodate the specific package type selected.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: The 6A02-G has 685 units in stock, 6A02B-G has 1070 units, GI752-E3/54 has 1790 units, and GI752-E3/73 has 2486 units. The 1N5550 has the highest inventory at 12,566 units. All substitute parts are classified as New Original In Stock.
