Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FR152-AP is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The critical parameters defining substitutability are:

Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 100 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1.5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.3 V @ 1.5 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 150 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 5 µA @ 100 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 20 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DO-204AC, DO-15, Axial

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical specifications and compatible package configurations. Substitute parts are categorized as direct manufacturer equivalents (same manufacturer, active product status) and parametric equivalents (alternative manufacturers, active product status with automotive qualification where applicable).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent (Recommended for Standard Applications):

The FR152GP-AP is the direct equivalent from Micro Commercial Co with active product status. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the FR152-AP and provides the most straightforward substitution path for non-automotive applications. Current inventory of 781 pieces supports immediate availability.

Parametric Equivalents (Recommended for Automotive and High-Reliability Applications):

Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation offers four parametric equivalents with active product status:

• FR152GHB0G and FR152GHA0G include AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications requiring formal qualification documentation. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications with enhanced inventory availability (1,175 and 1,075 pieces respectively).

• FR152GA0G provides a non-automotive parametric equivalent with active status and 1,102 pieces in inventory, suitable for general industrial applications.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory compliance equivalent to the original FR152-AP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FR152GP-AP directly replace FR152-AP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FR152GP-AP is electrically and mechanically identical to the FR152-AP, with the primary difference being active product status versus obsolete status. Both parts share identical voltage ratings (100 V), current ratings (1.5 A), forward voltage characteristics (1.3 V @ 1.5 A), and reverse recovery time (150 ns). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the Micro Commercial Co and Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation parts?

A: Both manufacturers provide parts meeting identical electrical specifications. The primary differences are manufacturer source and, in specific part numbers, automotive qualification status. Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation parts FR152GHB0G and FR152GHA0G include AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, while FR152GA0G does not. Micro Commercial Co parts do not include automotive qualification.

Q: Are the DO-15 and DO-204AC packages interchangeable?

A: Yes. DO-15 and DO-204AC are equivalent package designations for the same physical form factor. Both refer to an axial through-hole diode package with identical pin spacing and mounting characteristics. Parts specified as DO-204AC (DO-15) or DO-15 are mechanically compatible.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: For automotive applications, select either FR152GHB0G or FR152GHA0G. Both parts carry AEC-Q101 qualification, meeting automotive industry reliability and qualification standards. These parts are suitable for applications requiring formal automotive component certification.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (FR152GP-AP, FR152GHB0G, FR152GA0G, and FR152GHA0G) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory compliance equivalent to the original FR152-AP.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: Current inventory levels are: FR152GP-AP (781 pieces), FR152GHB0G (1,175 pieces), FR152GA0G (1,102 pieces), and FR152GHA0G (1,075 pieces). All substitute parts are available as new original stock.

Q: Can FR152-AP be used interchangeably with higher voltage-rated diodes?

A: No. The FR152-AP is rated for 100 V maximum reverse voltage. Substitution is limited to parts with identical or higher voltage ratings and identical current ratings. Parts with lower voltage ratings are not suitable substitutes.
