FR507GP-AP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FR507GP-AP is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 1000 V DC reverse voltage and 5 A average rectified current in a DO-201AD axial through-hole package. This component is classified as Active product status and complies with RoHS3 and REACH standards. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching or superior electrical characteristics within the same package form factor, enabling direct replacement in circuit applications where voltage and current ratings are compatible.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FR507GP-AP are identified based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Criteria:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 1000 V minimum
Package / Case: DO-201AD, Axial form factor
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C or wider
RoHS3 Compliance: Required
Technology: Standard rectifier diode

Substitution Logic: The UF5408-E3/73 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains the same 1000 V reverse voltage rating, identical DO-201AD package geometry, and through-hole mounting configuration. While the average rectified current rating is lower at 3 A compared to the FR507GP-AP's 5 A rating, this part functions as a substitute in applications where the circuit current demand does not exceed 3 A. The substitute part exhibits superior reverse recovery time performance (75 ns versus 500 ns) and maintains equivalent reverse leakage characteristics and temperature operating range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part (FR507GP-AP): The FR507GP-AP is the specified component and remains the first choice for applications requiring 5 A average rectified current at 1000 V reverse voltage. This part is Active status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, confirming regulatory compliance for industrial and commercial applications.

Substitute Part (UF5408-E3/73): The UF5408-E3/73 is suitable for replacement in circuits where the average rectified current requirement does not exceed 3 A. This substitute maintains identical voltage ratings and package form factor, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the specified current limit. The substitute part demonstrates superior reverse recovery time performance (75 ns), which may provide benefits in high-frequency switching applications. Both parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance.

Selection Basis: Component selection between the primary and substitute part is determined by circuit current requirements. Applications drawing 3 A or less may use either part interchangeably. Applications requiring current capacity above 3 A must use the FR507GP-AP. Both parts are suitable for the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C junction temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UF5408-E3/73 replace the FR507GP-AP in all applications?

A: The UF5408-E3/73 is a suitable substitute only in applications where the average rectified current does not exceed 3 A. The FR507GP-AP is rated for 5 A, providing higher current capacity. If your circuit requires current above 3 A, the FR507GP-AP must be used.

Q: Are the packages identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both the FR507GP-AP and UF5408-E3/73 use the DO-201AD axial through-hole package. They are mechanically interchangeable on printed circuit boards designed for this package form factor.

Q: What is the difference in reverse recovery time between these parts?

A: The FR507GP-AP has a reverse recovery time of 500 ns, while the UF5408-E3/73 has 75 ns. The UF5408-E3/73 exhibits faster recovery, which may reduce switching losses in high-frequency rectification circuits.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the FR507GP-AP and UF5408-E3/73 are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial applications.

Q: What is the forward voltage difference between these parts?

A: The FR507GP-AP has a maximum forward voltage of 1.35 V at 5 A, while the UF5408-E3/73 has 1.7 V at 3 A. Forward voltage is measured at the respective rated currents and is not directly comparable across different current levels.

Q: Can I use the FR507GP-AP as a substitute for the UF5408-E3/73?

A: Yes. The FR507GP-AP can replace the UF5408-E3/73 in any application. The FR507GP-AP provides higher current capacity (5 A versus 3 A) and is fully compatible with the same package and voltage rating.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, providing identical thermal performance specifications.
