FR307-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FR307-TP is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 1000 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in a DO-201AD axial through-hole package. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The FR307-TP features fast recovery characteristics with a reverse recovery time of 500 ns, suitable for standard rectification applications requiring moderate switching speeds.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FR307-TP is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the rectifier diode category. The critical parameters governing substitution are:

• Voltage Rating: DC reverse voltage must equal or exceed 1000 V
• Current Rating: Average rectified current must equal or exceed 3 A
• Forward Voltage Drop: Maximum forward voltage at rated current must not exceed 1.3 V @ 3 A
• Recovery Characteristics: Reverse recovery time must not exceed 500 ns for fast recovery classification
• Package Compatibility: Physical form factor must be DO-201AD axial through-hole to ensure mechanical fit
• Temperature Range: Operating junction temperature range must encompass -55°C to 150°C
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance required for regulatory alignment

The FR307GP-TP qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical parameters and package specifications. The primary distinction is product status: FR307-TP is obsolete while FR307GP-TP is active, with improved inventory availability and current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FR307GP-TP is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete FR307-TP. Both parts share identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 1000 V reverse voltage rating, 3 A average rectified current, 1.3 V forward voltage drop at rated current, and 500 ns reverse recovery time. Both maintain the same DO-201AD axial through-hole package form factor and operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

The FR307GP-TP offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and significantly higher inventory availability (5939 pieces versus 2300 pieces for the obsolete FR307-TP). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

The capacitance specification shows a minor reduction in the FR307GP-TP (50 pF versus 65 pF at 4V, 1MHz), which represents an improvement in high-frequency performance characteristics and does not impact substitution suitability for standard rectification applications.

Selection of the FR307GP-TP is supported by regulatory compliance alignment, active product lifecycle status, and superior supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FR307GP-TP directly replace the FR307-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FR307GP-TP is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the FR307-TP. Both parts share identical voltage ratings (1000 V), current ratings (3 A), forward voltage characteristics (1.3 V @ 3 A), recovery time (500 ns), and package form factor (DO-201AD axial through-hole). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from FR307-TP to FR307GP-TP?

A: The FR307-TP is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and declining availability. The FR307GP-TP is an active product with current manufacturing support and substantially higher inventory levels, ensuring long-term procurement reliability.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Both parts use the DO-201AD axial through-hole package for mechanical compatibility. The FR307GP-TP is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, while the FR307-TP packaging specification is not detailed in available documentation. This distinction affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical performance or circuit functionality.

Q: Does the lower capacitance value of the FR307GP-TP affect circuit performance?

A: The FR307GP-TP exhibits lower junction capacitance (50 pF versus 65 pF at 4V, 1MHz). This represents improved high-frequency performance characteristics and does not negatively impact standard rectification applications. The reduction in capacitance is beneficial for switching speed and reduces parasitic effects in the circuit.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the FR307-TP and FR307GP-TP are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the temperature operating range for these diodes?

A: Both parts operate across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, providing thermal performance suitable for industrial and commercial applications across wide environmental conditions.
