Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is strictly determined by core electrical and mechanical parameters. The following were considered: technology type (SiC Schottky), maximum reverse voltage (1700 V), mounting method (Through Hole), package (TO-247-2), reverse recovery characteristics (0 ns), compliance (ROHS3, REACH), and use case (rectification). Substitute parts listed match or exceed these parameters. Current rating and voltage-forward characteristics are specified for appropriate compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main product, GP2D020A170B, is discontinued. Substitution with GP3D020A170B is justified by active production status, matching SiC Schottky technology, equivalent reverse voltage, through-hole TO-247-2 package, same operating temperature range, and identical ROHS3 and REACH compliance. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is also matched. These parameters meet required electrical and environmental compliance ratings, allowing direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary criteria for substituting GP2D020A170B?
A1: Substitution requires identical technology (SiC Schottky), equivalent reverse voltage (1700 V), compatible package (TO-247-2), mounting type (Through Hole), compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH), and matching or exceeding current and thermal ratings.

Q2: Is package compatibility ensured between GP2D020A170B and GP3D020A170B?
A2: Both parts utilize the TO-247-2 through-hole package, ensuring mechanical compatibility for board placement and assembly.

Q3: Do both diode models provide similar reverse voltage and environmental compliance?
A3: Yes. Both models feature a 1700 V reverse voltage rating and comply with ROHS3 and REACH standards.

Q4: Are operating temperature ranges equivalent for the substitute part?
A4: Operating junction temperature for both parts is specified as -55°C to 175°C.

Q5: Are there differences in current capabilities between the original and substitute part?
A5: GP3D020A170B has higher rectified current capability (67A vs 20A) and supports the same or lower forward voltage at the rated current. This provides additional margin for applications requiring higher current without compromising compatibility.

Q6: Do reverse recovery and mounting specifications match between the two parts?
A6: Both parts have 0 ns reverse recovery time and through-hole mounting, maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.
