FR153GP-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FR153GP-TP 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 "Not For New Designs," indicating it has reached end-of-life status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support where this diode remains in active use.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FR153GP-TP is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 200 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
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

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

Operating Conditions (Must Match):

• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

Compliance (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts listed below satisfy all these criteria and are therefore direct functional equivalents for the FR153GP-TP in applications requiring 200 V, 1.5 A fast-recovery rectification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FR153G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation)

The FR153G is a parametric equivalent offering identical electrical specifications to the FR153GP-TP. All critical parameters—reverse voltage, forward current, forward voltage drop, and reverse recovery time—match exactly. This part is in Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. It is ROHS3 compliant and carries unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection of FR153G is appropriate for general-purpose rectification applications where automotive qualification is not required.

FR153GH (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation)

The FR153GH provides identical electrical performance to the FR153GP-TP with the addition of automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101). This part is in Active product status and maintains all electrical and thermal specifications. Selection of FR153GH is appropriate for applications requiring automotive-grade components or where AEC-Q101 qualification is mandated by design or procurement standards.

PG152R_R2_00001 (Panjit International Inc.)

The PG152R_R2_00001 meets all critical electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. This part exhibits lower reverse leakage current (1 µA versus 5 µA) and higher capacitance (35 pF versus 20 pF), both of which remain within acceptable operating margins for general-purpose rectification. The part is in Active product status and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, matching the original FR153GP-TP packaging format. Selection of PG152R_R2_00001 is appropriate where the improved leakage characteristics provide system-level benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FR153G be used as a direct replacement for FR153GP-TP?

A: Yes. The FR153G matches all critical electrical parameters (200 V reverse voltage, 1.5 A average rectified current, 1.3 V forward voltage drop, 150 ns reverse recovery time) and mechanical specifications (DO-15 through-hole package, -55°C to 150°C operating range). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The primary difference is product status: FR153G is Active while FR153GP-TP is Not For New Designs.

Q: What is the difference between FR153G and FR153GH?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The FR153GH carries automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101), making it suitable for automotive applications or systems requiring automotive-qualified components. Selection between these two depends on application requirements and procurement specifications.

Q: Can PG152R_R2_00001 replace FR153GP-TP in all applications?

A: PG152R_R2_00001 meets all critical substitution parameters and is functionally equivalent. However, it exhibits different secondary characteristics: reverse leakage current is lower (1 µA versus 5 µA) and capacitance is higher (35 pF versus 20 pF). These differences do not prevent substitution in standard rectification applications but should be evaluated in circuits sensitive to leakage or capacitive effects.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: FR153GP-TP and PG152R_R2_00001 are both supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. FR153G and FR153GH packaging information is not specified in the available data. All four parts use the same through-hole axial package type (DO-204AC, DO-15).

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts (FR153G, FR153GH, PG152R_R2_00001) are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry ECCN classification EAR99. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts. FR153GH additionally carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Current inventory levels are: FR153GP-TP (1024 pcs), FR153G (909 pcs), FR153GH (1091 pcs), and PG152R_R2_00001 (805 pcs). All parts are listed as New Original In Stock. Inventory availability should be confirmed with the supplier for production quantities and lead times.
