FR205GT-G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FR205GT-G is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Comchip Technology, rated for 600 V DC reverse voltage and 2 A average rectified current in a through-hole DO-15 package configuration. This component is classified as a fast recovery diode with a reverse recovery time of 250 ns, suitable for standard rectification applications requiring moderate voltage and current ratings.

The FR205GT-G maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and thermal operating ranges. Substitutes enable procurement flexibility when the primary part number is unavailable or when alternative packaging formats are acceptable within the application design.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FR205GT-G are identified through parametric equivalence matching. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent devices:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 600 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.3 V @ 2 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 250 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 5 µA @ 600 V

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

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

Thermal Parameters (Must Match):

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

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• Technology: Standard
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The FR205G manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation satisfies all parametric equivalence criteria and is classified as a direct substitute. Packaging format differences (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represent procurement and handling variations only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FR205G manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation is a direct parametric equivalent to the FR205GT-G. Both devices maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. Selection between these parts is determined by procurement availability, packaging format requirements, and supply chain considerations rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

The FR205G is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, whereas the FR205GT-G is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This distinction affects component handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical performance or thermal characteristics.

Both devices are suitable for applications requiring 600 V reverse voltage rating, 2 A average rectified current capacity, and fast recovery diode characteristics. The identical forward voltage drop (1.3 V @ 2 A), reverse recovery time (250 ns), and reverse leakage current (5 µA @ 600 V) ensure functional interchangeability in circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FR205G be used as a direct replacement for the FR205GT-G in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The FR205G is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, thermal operating range, and mechanical package compatibility. Both devices are through-hole mounted in DO-15 package configuration with matching voltage, current, and recovery time ratings.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape packaging supplies components on cut segments of carrier tape, suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly processes. Both packaging formats contain identical components with no electrical or performance differences.

Q: Are there any thermal or operating temperature differences between the FR205GT-G and FR205G?

A: No. Both devices operate across the identical junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. Thermal performance and temperature derating characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the FR205GT-G and FR205G are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.10.0080.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching voltage rating (600 V), current rating (2 A), forward voltage drop (1.3 V @ 2 A), reverse recovery time (250 ns), reverse leakage current (5 µA @ 600 V), package type (DO-15), mounting method (through-hole), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C).

Q: Can the FR205G be used in applications originally designed for the FR205GT-G without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. Identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and pin configurations enable direct substitution without circuit design changes or board layout modifications.
