6A2G-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 6A2G-TP is a through-hole rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage and 6 A average rectified current. This component is classified as a standard recovery diode with an R-6 axial package configuration. The part is designated as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary for applications requiring continued support, legacy system maintenance, or when primary inventory becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6A2G-TP is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Reverse voltage must equal or exceed 200 V DC
• Current Rating: Average rectified current must equal or exceed 6 A
• Forward Voltage Drop: Maximum forward voltage at rated current must not exceed 1 V @ 6 A
• Recovery Characteristics: Standard recovery speed classification with recovery time >500 ns at >200 mA
• Reverse Leakage: Maximum reverse leakage current must not exceed 10 µA @ 200 V
• Package Configuration: R-6 axial through-hole package required for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Capacitance: Junction capacitance must not exceed 100 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

The substitute part 6A02B-G, manufactured by Comchip Technology, meets all specified electrical parameters and package requirements for direct substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 6A2G-TP

The 6A2G-TP carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating the manufacturer has discontinued active development and support. This designation applies to legacy applications and existing inventory management only.

Substitute Part: 6A02B-G

The 6A02B-G is the direct electrical and mechanical equivalent for the 6A2G-TP. This substitute part is manufactured by Comchip Technology and carries an "Active" product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The 6A02B-G is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Temperature Consideration: The 6A02B-G specifies a maximum junction operating temperature of 125°C, compared to 150°C for the 6A2G-TP. Applications operating continuously near or above 125°C require thermal analysis to confirm the substitute part remains within acceptable operating limits.

Compliance Status: Both parts are classified as REACH unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN designation. The 6A02B-G includes RoHS3 compliance certification and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6A02B-G be used as a direct replacement for the 6A2G-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6A02B-G meets all specified electrical parameters (voltage, current, forward drop, recovery speed, leakage, and capacitance) and uses the identical R-6 axial through-hole package. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the 6A2G-TP?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active support and development of this part number. New designs should specify the 6A02B-G or other active-status alternatives. Existing applications using the 6A2G-TP may continue operation, but long-term availability cannot be guaranteed.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges between these parts?

A: Yes. The 6A2G-TP operates to 150°C junction temperature, while the 6A02B-G operates to 125°C. For applications requiring sustained operation above 125°C, thermal performance must be verified before substitution.

Q: Does the 6A02B-G meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. The 6A02B-G is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. It carries MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: Are the R-6 axial packages mechanically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the R-6 axial package configuration, ensuring identical mechanical fit, lead spacing, and through-hole mounting compatibility on printed circuit boards.

Q: What inventory status should be considered when selecting between these parts?

A: The 6A2G-TP has 988 pieces in stock with "Not For New Designs" status. The 6A02B-G has 1070 pieces in stock with "Active" product status. For applications requiring long-term availability and manufacturer support, the 6A02B-G is the preferred selection.
