FR206-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FR206-TP is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 800 V DC reverse voltage and 2 A average rectified current in a through-hole DO-15 package. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The FR206-TP features fast recovery characteristics with a reverse recovery time of 500 ns, suitable for standard rectification applications requiring moderate voltage and current ratings.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FR206-TP are grouped based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 800 V minimum
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A minimum
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Package / Case: DO-204AC, DO-15, or Axial equivalent
Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Direct Equivalents maintain identical electrical ratings (800 V, 2 A, 500 ns recovery time) and differ only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) or manufacturer source.

Parametric Equivalents maintain the core voltage and current ratings but may exhibit variations in secondary parameters such as reverse recovery time, reverse leakage current, or capacitance, provided these variations remain within acceptable operating ranges for standard rectification applications.

Similar Parts meet the primary voltage and package requirements but operate at reduced current ratings (1 A versus 2 A) and are suitable only for applications where the lower current capacity is acceptable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Active Status Required):

FR206GP-TP is the primary direct replacement for FR206-TP. Both parts are manufactured by Micro Commercial Co with identical electrical specifications (800 V, 2 A, 1.3 V forward voltage, 500 ns recovery time). The only difference is packaging format: FR206GP-TP is supplied in Tape & Reel format versus the original bulk packaging. This part is active and ROHS3 compliant.

For Parametric Equivalence (Active Status, Identical Core Ratings):

FR206GT-G (Comchip Technology) and FR206G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) are parametric equivalents maintaining 800 V, 2 A, and 500 ns specifications. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance. FR206G is supplied in Cut Tape format; FR206GT-G is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Selection between these depends on procurement and assembly requirements.

PG208R_R2_00001 (Panjit International Inc.) maintains identical electrical ratings with improved reverse leakage characteristics (1 µA versus 5 µA at 800 V). This part is active, ROHS3 compliant, and supplied in Tape & Reel format.

For Current-Reduced Applications Only:

1N5621GP-E3/54 (Vishay General Semiconductor) is suitable only for applications where 1 A average rectified current is acceptable. This part features superior reverse recovery time (300 ns) and significantly lower reverse leakage (500 nA), but the 50% reduction in current rating restricts its use to lower-power circuits. This part is active and ROHS3 compliant.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), matching the original FR206-TP specifications. All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.10.0080.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FR206GP-TP be used as a direct replacement for FR206-TP?

A: Yes. FR206GP-TP is manufactured by the same company (Micro Commercial Co) with identical electrical specifications: 800 V reverse voltage, 2 A average rectified current, 1.3 V forward voltage at 2 A, and 500 ns reverse recovery time. The difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk). FR206GP-TP is active status, whereas FR206-TP is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between FR206G and FR206GT-G?

A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (800 V, 2 A, 1.3 V forward voltage, 500 ns recovery time). The primary difference is packaging format: FR206G is supplied in Cut Tape format by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, while FR206GT-G is supplied in Tape & Reel format by Comchip Technology. Both are active products.

Q: Can 1N5621GP-E3/54 replace FR206-TP in all applications?

A: No. While 1N5621GP-E3/54 shares the 800 V reverse voltage rating and DO-15 package, it is rated for only 1 A average rectified current compared to the 2 A rating of FR206-TP. This part is suitable only for applications where the lower current capacity meets design requirements. The part does offer superior reverse recovery time (300 ns) and lower reverse leakage (500 nA).

Q: What does "parametric equivalent" mean in this context?

A: A parametric equivalent maintains the critical electrical specifications (voltage and current ratings) and package form factor but may differ in secondary characteristics such as reverse recovery time, reverse leakage current, or capacitance. These differences remain within acceptable ranges for standard rectification applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (FR206GP-TP, FR206GT-G, FR206G, PG208R_R2_00001, and 1N5621GP-E3/54) are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), matching the original FR206-TP.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Both are automated assembly formats. Cut Tape (CT) provides individual components on carrier tape, typically for lower-volume or mixed-component assembly. Tape & Reel (TR) provides components on continuous reel format, optimized for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly. Electrical specifications are identical; selection depends on assembly equipment and production volume.

Q: Why is PG208R_R2_00001 listed as a substitute if it has lower reverse leakage?

A: PG208R_R2_00001 maintains all critical electrical specifications (800 V, 2 A, 1.3 V forward voltage, 500 ns recovery time) and is therefore a valid parametric equivalent. The lower reverse leakage (1 µA versus 5 µA) is an improvement that does not affect substitutability; it represents enhanced performance characteristics within the same functional category.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same circuit board assembly?

A: Yes, provided all selected parts meet the circuit's electrical requirements. All listed substitutes maintain the 800 V, 2 A core specifications (except 1N5621GP-E3/54 at 1 A) and are mechanically compatible in DO-15 through-hole packages. However, 1N5621GP-E3/54 should not be mixed with 2 A-rated parts in parallel or series configurations without circuit analysis.
