PR2005-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PR2005-T is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, rated for 600 V DC reverse voltage and 2 A average rectified current in a DO-15 through-hole package. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The PR2005-T features fast recovery characteristics with a reverse recovery time of 250 ns and operates across a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PR2005-T is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 600 V minimum
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A minimum
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Package compatibility: DO-15 or equivalent axial packages (DO-204AC, DO-204AL, SOD-57)

Secondary Considerations:

Reverse Recovery Time (trr): Fast recovery ≤ 500ns preferred for performance continuity
Forward Voltage (Vf): Acceptable range 1.0 V to 1.35 V @ rated current
Reverse Leakage Current: 5 µA @ 600 V or lower
Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -55°C to 150°C

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct package equivalents (DO-15/DO-204AC) and alternative package options (SOD-57/DO-204AL axial) that maintain electrical compatibility while offering different form factors.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Package Equivalents (DO-15/DO-204AC):

The FR205G B0G and GPP20J-E3/73 are the primary direct substitutes for the PR2005-T. Both maintain the same 600 V / 2 A electrical ratings and DO-15 package form factor. FR205G B0G is manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and is active in production. GPP20J-E3/73 is manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor and offers superior forward voltage characteristics (1.1 V @ 2 A). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for direct board-level replacement.

The RGP15J-E3/54 is a Vishay SUPERECTIFIER® part with reduced current rating (1.5 A) and is suitable only for applications where the 2 A requirement can be relaxed. This part offers extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) and is active in production.

Alternative Package Options (SOD-57/DO-204AL):

The BYW36-TR and BYW54-TR are avalanche-rated diodes in SOD-57 packages that meet the 600 V / 2 A electrical requirements. BYW36-TR features fast recovery (200 ns) and is recommended for applications requiring superior switching performance. BYW54-TR features standard recovery characteristics (4 µs) and lower reverse leakage current (1 µA @ 1000 V), making it suitable for low-leakage applications. Both are manufactured by Vishay and are active in production.

The MUR260RLG is an onsemi SWITCHMODE™ series part in DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package with exceptional reverse recovery time (75 ns) and extended temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). This part offers the highest inventory availability (80,300 pcs) and is recommended for high-volume applications requiring fast recovery performance.

Compliance and Certification:

All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the environmental compliance profile of the PR2005-T. All parts carry EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8541.10.0080.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RGP15J-E3/54 be used as a direct replacement for the PR2005-T?

A: The RGP15J-E3/54 is electrically compatible at 600 V reverse voltage but has a reduced current rating of 1.5 A versus the PR2005-T's 2 A rating. It is suitable only for applications where the maximum current requirement does not exceed 1.5 A. The package form factor (DO-204AC/DO-15) is compatible with the original design.

Q: What is the difference between the BYW36-TR and BYW54-TR?

A: Both parts are 600 V / 2 A avalanche diodes in SOD-57 packages. The BYW36-TR features fast recovery (200 ns reverse recovery time) and is optimized for switching applications. The BYW54-TR features standard recovery (4 µs) with lower reverse leakage current (1 µA @ 1000 V) and is optimized for low-leakage applications. The choice depends on the specific circuit requirements.

Q: Can I use the MUR260RLG in place of the PR2005-T without PCB modifications?

A: The MUR260RLG is electrically equivalent (600 V / 2 A) but uses a DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package instead of the PR2005-T's DO-15 package. PCB layout modifications are required to accommodate the different package geometry. The part is suitable for new designs or boards that can be reworked for the alternative package.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the environmental compliance requirements of the PR2005-T.

Q: Which substitute offers the best reverse recovery time performance?

A: The MUR260RLG offers the fastest reverse recovery time at 75 ns, followed by BYW36-TR at 200 ns. The PR2005-T, FR205G B0G, and RGP15J-E3/54 all feature 250 ns recovery time. The BYW54-TR has the slowest recovery at 4 µs but offers lower reverse leakage characteristics.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference between the PR2005-T and its substitutes?

A: The PR2005-T operates from -65°C to 150°C. Most active substitutes extend the upper temperature limit to 175°C (BYW36-TR, BYW54-TR, MUR260RLG, RGP15J-E3/54). The FR205G B0G and GPP20J-E3/73 maintain the 150°C upper limit. The MUR260RLG and RGP15J-E3/54 extend the lower temperature limit to -65°C, matching the original part.

Q: Is the forward voltage difference between substitutes significant?

A: Forward voltage varies from 1.0 V to 1.35 V across the substitute parts at their respective rated currents. For applications sensitive to forward voltage drop, the BYW54-TR (1.0 V @ 1 A) and BYW36-TR (1.1 V @ 1 A) offer lower values. The GPP20J-E3/73 (1.1 V @ 2 A) provides a good balance of low forward voltage at full rated current.
