Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FR603GP-TP are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 200 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 6 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.3 V @ 6 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 150 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 200 V
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Package / Case: R-6, Axial
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

The FR603T-G manufactured by Comchip Technology meets all critical electrical specifications and mechanical requirements, qualifying it as a parametric equivalent for direct substitution in applications requiring the FR603GP-TP.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FR603T-G is a direct parametric equivalent to the FR603GP-TP and is suitable for substitution in applications requiring a 200V, 6A general-purpose rectifier diode in R-6 axial through-hole packaging.

Compliance Considerations:

• Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental regulatory requirements
• Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification
• Both parts are assigned ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.10.0080 for export control and tariff purposes

Product Status Advantage: The FR603T-G carries an "Active" product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The FR603GP-TP is designated "Not For New Designs," making the FR603T-G the preferred choice for long-term supply chain continuity and component lifecycle management.

Electrical Performance: All critical electrical parameters match exactly between the two parts. The minor difference in capacitance (150 pF versus 100 pF at 4V, 1MHz) remains within acceptable tolerance for general-purpose rectification applications and does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FR603T-G be used as a direct replacement for the FR603GP-TP?

A: Yes. The FR603T-G meets all critical electrical and mechanical specifications of the FR603GP-TP, including voltage rating, current rating, forward voltage drop, reverse recovery time, reverse leakage current, and package configuration. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: Are there any differences in electrical performance between these two diodes?

A: The electrical performance is identical across all critical parameters: 200V reverse voltage, 6A average rectified current, 1.3V forward voltage drop at 6A, 150ns reverse recovery time, and 10µA reverse leakage current at 200V. The capacitance specification differs slightly (150 pF versus 100 pF), but this difference does not affect rectification performance in standard applications.

Q: Do both parts use the same package and mounting method?

A: Yes. Both the FR603GP-TP and FR603T-G use the R-6 axial through-hole package and are mounted identically on printed circuit boards. No mechanical redesign or board layout modification is required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The FR603GP-TP is marked "Not For New Designs," indicating the manufacturer has discontinued active development and support. The FR603T-G is marked "Active," meaning the manufacturer continues to produce and support this part. For applications requiring long-term component availability and manufacturer support, the FR603T-G is the recommended choice.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited). Both are classified under the same export control (ECCN EAR99) and tariff (HTSUS 8541.10.0080) designations.

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

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

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The FR603GP-TP has 792 pieces in stock, while the FR603T-G has 678 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components. Long-term availability favors the FR603T-G due to its active product status.
