Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the R2000-AP is determined by equivalence across the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Criteria:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 2000 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 500 mA
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 5 µA @ 2000 V
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DO-204AL, DO-41, Axial

Compatible Substitute: The RGP02-20E-E3/54 manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division satisfies all mandatory equivalence criteria. This part maintains identical voltage and current ratings, reverse leakage characteristics, and through-hole axial packaging. The RGP02-20E-E3/54 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and technical support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RGP02-20E-E3/54 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete R2000-AP. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and maintain identical voltage, current, and reverse leakage specifications. The RGP02-20E-E3/54 offers extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C versus -55°C to 150°C) and improved recovery characteristics (fast recovery ≤ 500ns versus standard recovery >500ns), providing enhanced performance margins in equivalent applications. Active product status of the RGP02-20E-E3/54 ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RGP02-20E-E3/54 directly replace the R2000-AP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical voltage ratings (2000 V), current ratings (500 mA), reverse leakage characteristics (5 µA @ 2000 V), and through-hole DO-41 axial packaging. Physical and electrical compatibility is established.

Q: What are the differences between the R2000-AP and RGP02-20E-E3/54?

A: The RGP02-20E-E3/54 features fast recovery characteristics (≤ 500ns) compared to the R2000-AP standard recovery (>500ns). The RGP02-20E-E3/54 operates across a wider temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) and maintains active product status. Forward voltage differs at specified test conditions: 3 V @ 500 mA (R2000-AP) versus 1.8 V @ 100 mA (RGP02-20E-E3/54).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the R2000-AP and RGP02-20E-E3/54 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute part?

A: The RGP02-20E-E3/54 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging and is available in DO-204AL (DO-41) axial through-hole configuration, matching the R2000-AP package specifications.

Q: Why is the R2000-AP classified as obsolete?

A: The R2000-AP is no longer in active production. The RGP02-20E-E3/54 serves as the active equivalent, ensuring continued availability and technical support for 2000 V, 500 mA rectifier diode applications.
