Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FR507GP-AP is the direct equivalent substitute for the FR507-AP. Both components are manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and share identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging. The primary distinction is product status: the FR507-AP is obsolete while the FR507GP-AP maintains active status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions. The FR507GP-AP additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, providing extended regulatory coverage for applications subject to REACH requirements.

For applications currently using the FR507-AP, direct substitution with the FR507GP-AP is supported without circuit modification or performance degradation. The identical electrical characteristics—including 1000 V reverse voltage rating, 5 A average rectified current, 1.35 V forward voltage drop, and 500 ns reverse recovery time—ensure functional compatibility across all operating conditions within the specified temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FR507GP-AP be used as a direct replacement for the FR507-AP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FR507GP-AP is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the FR507-AP. All critical parameters—reverse voltage, forward current, forward voltage drop, reverse recovery time, and package configuration—are identical. Direct substitution is supported without design changes.

Q: What is the significance of the FR507-AP being classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the FR507-AP is no longer manufactured or supported by Micro Commercial Co. The FR507GP-AP, which maintains active status, is the recommended source for new procurement and ongoing supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the FR507-AP and FR507GP-AP?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1. The FR507GP-AP additionally carries REACH Unaffected status. Both parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications.

Q: Does the DO-201AD axial package affect substitution compatibility?

A: No. Both the FR507-AP and FR507GP-AP use the DO-201AD axial through-hole package. Mechanical fit and PCB layout compatibility are identical. No board redesign is required.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this diode?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: (1) Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) at 1000 V, (2) Current - Average Rectified (Io) at 5 A, (3) Voltage - Forward (Vf) at 1.35 V @ 5 A, (4) Reverse Recovery Time (trr) at 500 ns, (5) Current - Reverse Leakage at 10 µA @ 1000 V, and (6) Capacitance at 65 pF @ 4V, 1MHz. All parameters must match exactly for full substitution compatibility.

Q: Is the FR507GP-AP suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. The FR507GP-AP operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, identical to the FR507-AP. This range supports both cryogenic and elevated-temperature applications within the specified limits.
