Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FR1005-TP is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence across the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 600 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 10 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 250 ns
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: R-6, Axial

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The FR1005GP-TP meets all substitution criteria as an active equivalent part. Both components share identical electrical ratings, thermal operating range, and mechanical form factor. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

*The FR1005GP-TP exhibits lower reverse leakage current (5 µA vs. 10 µA), which represents improved performance and is electrically compatible for all applications requiring the FR1005-TP.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FR1005GP-TP is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete FR1005-TP. Selection of the FR1005GP-TP is appropriate for the following reasons:

Product Status: The FR1005GP-TP maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1118 pcs), whereas the FR1005-TP is obsolete. Active status ensures continued supply chain access and manufacturer support.

Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters are identical, including reverse voltage rating, average rectified current, forward voltage drop, and reverse recovery time. The lower reverse leakage current of the FR1005GP-TP (5 µA vs. 10 µA) represents an improvement that does not compromise compatibility.

Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical thermal operating ranges (-55°C to 150°C junction temperature).

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components utilize the R-6 axial through-hole package, ensuring direct mechanical substitution in existing PCB designs without layout modifications.

Packaging Consideration: The FR1005GP-TP is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which differs from the bulk packaging of the FR1005-TP. This packaging format is standard for automated assembly processes and does not affect component functionality or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FR1005GP-TP directly replace the FR1005-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FR1005GP-TP is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the FR1005-TP. Both components share identical voltage ratings (600 V), current ratings (10 A), forward voltage characteristics (1.3 V @ 10 A), and thermal operating range (-55°C to 150°C). The R-6 axial through-hole package is identical, permitting direct substitution without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the lower reverse leakage current in the FR1005GP-TP?

A: The FR1005GP-TP exhibits reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 600 V, compared to 10 µA for the FR1005-TP. Lower reverse leakage current indicates improved diode quality and reduced parasitic current paths. This represents enhanced performance and is fully compatible with all applications designed for the FR1005-TP.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the FR1005GP-TP affect component performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is a supply format used for automated assembly processes. It does not alter the electrical or mechanical properties of the diode. The component itself remains identical to bulk-packaged versions. TR packaging is standard for high-volume manufacturing and provides equivalent functionality.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both the FR1005-TP and FR1005GP-TP maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications. The FR1005GP-TP includes REACH Unaffected status, indicating full regulatory alignment.

Q: Why is the FR1005-TP classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The FR1005GP-TP serves as the active replacement, offering equivalent electrical performance with improved reverse leakage characteristics and confirmed ongoing availability.

Q: What is the reverse recovery time, and why is it important?

A: Reverse recovery time (trr) is 250 ns for both parts. This parameter defines the time required for the diode to transition from forward conduction to reverse blocking when the applied voltage reverses. The 250 ns specification classifies both diodes as fast recovery devices, suitable for applications requiring moderate switching speeds in rectification circuits.
