Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KBP202 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 100 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A
• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Technology: Standard
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 2 A

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: KBP form factor

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant or equivalent
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8541.10.0080

The KBP201G from SMC Diode Solutions meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence requirements and qualifies as a direct substitute for the KBP202.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

KBP202 (GeneSiC Semiconductor):

• Primary selection for applications requiring GeneSiC manufacturer specifications
• Active product status with 1081 units in stock
• RoHS Compliant certification
• Bulk packaging format

KBP201G (SMC Diode Solutions):

• Direct electrical and mechanical equivalent
• Active product status with 1270 units in stock
• ROHS3 Compliant certification with REACH Affected status
• Tube packaging format
• Lower reverse leakage current (5 µA vs. 10 µA) provides enhanced performance margin
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C minimum vs. -50°C) supports broader thermal applications

Both parts satisfy identical electrical requirements for single-phase bridge rectification at 100 V / 2 A ratings. Selection between KBP202 and KBP201G depends on packaging requirements, manufacturer preference, and compliance documentation needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KBP201G replace KBP202 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The KBP201G meets all critical electrical parameters: 100 V peak reverse voltage, 2 A average rectified current, 1.1 V forward voltage at 2 A, and single-phase bridge rectifier topology. Both components use Through Hole mounting with KBP form factor packaging. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between KBP202 and KBP201G?

A: KBP202 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while KBP201G is supplied in Tube packaging. Both use the KBP form factor (4-SIP / 4-ESIP) for Through Hole mounting. Packaging format does not affect electrical compatibility or circuit performance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: KBP202 carries RoHS Compliant certification. KBP201G carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and is REACH Affected. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications. Compliance selection depends on regulatory requirements for the end application.

Q: Does the lower reverse leakage current of KBP201G affect compatibility?

A: No. The KBP201G exhibits 5 µA reverse leakage at 100 V compared to 10 µA for KBP202. Lower leakage current represents improved performance and does not create compatibility issues. This characteristic is beneficial for applications sensitive to leakage current.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference?

A: KBP202 operates from -50°C to 150°C (TJ). KBP201G operates from -55°C to 150°C (TJ). The KBP201G supports a 5°C lower minimum temperature, extending the usable range for cold-environment applications. Both reach identical maximum temperature limits.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided that packaging format (Bulk vs. Tube) and compliance documentation requirements are compatible with manufacturing and regulatory specifications. Electrical performance and mechanical form factor are equivalent.
