FR205-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FR205-TP is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 600 V DC reverse voltage and 2 A average rectified current in a through-hole DO-15 package. This part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance across voltage, current, and thermal specifications while accommodating packaging and supplier variations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FR205GP-TP is the primary direct substitute for FR205-TP. Both parts are manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and share identical electrical specifications. FR205GP-TP is currently active in production and available in Tape & Reel packaging, providing a seamless replacement with equivalent performance characteristics.

FR205G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) is a parametric equivalent offering identical electrical performance with active product status. This part is available in Cut Tape packaging and provides the highest inventory availability (7,672 pieces). The supplier device package designation as DO-204AC (DO-15) confirms mechanical compatibility.

FR205GT-G (Comchip Technology) is a parametric equivalent with active status and Tape & Reel packaging. All critical electrical parameters match the main part specification.

PG206R_R2_00001 (Panjit International Inc.) is a parametric equivalent with active status. This part demonstrates superior reverse leakage performance (1 µA @ 600 V versus 5 µA @ 600 V), representing an improvement over the original specification while maintaining all other electrical parameters.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and the required operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. Selection among active alternatives should be based on packaging format requirements, inventory availability, and procurement lead times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FR205GP-TP directly replace FR205-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. FR205GP-TP is manufactured by the same supplier (Micro Commercial Co) and maintains identical electrical specifications including voltage rating (600 V), current rating (2 A), forward voltage (1.3 V @ 2 A), and reverse recovery time (250 ns). The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk), which does not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between FR205G and FR205GT-G?

A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications. FR205G is manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and supplied in Cut Tape format. FR205GT-G is manufactured by Comchip Technology and supplied in Tape & Reel format. Selection depends on packaging requirements and supplier availability.

Q: Is PG206R_R2_00001 compatible with FR205-TP applications?

A: Yes. PG206R_R2_00001 meets all critical electrical parameters and maintains the same voltage, current, and thermal ratings. The part exhibits lower reverse leakage current (1 µA @ 600 V compared to 5 µA @ 600 V), which represents improved performance. Through-hole mounting and DO-15 package compatibility are maintained.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the original FR205-TP specification.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: FR205GP-TP and FR205GT-G are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. FR205G is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. All parts maintain through-hole DO-15 axial package configuration for circuit board compatibility.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided the selected packaging format (Tape & Reel or Cut Tape) is compatible with assembly equipment. All parts share identical electrical performance and thermal specifications, enabling direct substitution at the circuit level.
