FR153-AP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FR153-AP is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage and 1.5 A average rectified current in a DO-15 through-hole package. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for new designs and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance across voltage, current, and thermal specifications while accommodating through-hole axial mounting requirements.

For Automotive Applications: FR153GHA0G is specified for applications requiring automotive-grade components. This part carries AEC-Q101 qualification and is suitable for automotive circuit designs where compliance certification is mandatory.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and identical thermal operating range (-55°C to 150°C junction temperature).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FR153GP-AP be used as a direct replacement for FR153-AP? A: Yes. FR153GP-AP maintains identical electrical specifications, package configuration, and mounting type. The primary difference is active product status versus obsolete status of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between FR153G A0G and FR153GHA0G? A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent with identical electrical performance. FR153GHA0G includes automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) and is designated for automotive applications. FR153G A0G is suitable for general industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with DO-15 through-hole PCB layouts? A: Yes. All substitute parts are specified for DO-204AC, DO-15, Axial package configuration with through-hole mounting type, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB designs.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet RoHS compliance requirements? A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the compliance profile of the original FR153-AP.

Q: What is the reverse recovery time specification, and why is it important? A: All parts, including substitutes, specify 150 ns reverse recovery time. This parameter defines the diode's switching speed and is critical for fast-recovery rectification applications. Identical specification ensures equivalent circuit performance.
