RFN3BGE2STL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RFN3BGE2STL is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor, rated for 200 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current. This surface mount component operates with fast recovery characteristics and is housed in a TO-252GE package configuration. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the specified parameter set. Alternative part numbers provide equivalent functionality for applications requiring component sourcing flexibility or inventory optimization.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RFN3BGE2STL and RFN3BM2STL are Active products manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor with identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than technical performance differentiation.

RFN3BGE2STL is specified with supplier device package designation TO-252GE and maintains 3295 units in current inventory stock.

RFN3BM2STL is specified with supplier device package designation TO-252 and maintains 3900 units in current inventory stock.

Both parts satisfy RoHS3 compliance requirements, REACH unaffected status, and unlimited moisture sensitivity classification. Both are rated for identical maximum junction operating temperature of 150°C. Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign or thermal management modifications when electrical and mechanical constraints are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RFN3BM2STL replace RFN3BGE2STL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all specified electrical parameters (200 V reverse voltage, 3 A rectified current, 980 mV forward voltage, 25 ns recovery time), mechanical packaging (TO-252-3 DPAK), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the TO-252GE and TO-252 package designations?

A: The supplier device package designations differ (TO-252GE versus TO-252), but both parts use identical mechanical packaging: TO-252-3, DPAK (2 Leads + Tab), SC-63. The package designation difference reflects supplier nomenclature variation and does not affect physical dimensions, pin configuration, or board-level compatibility.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts specify identical maximum junction operating temperature (150°C), forward voltage characteristics (980 mV @ 3 A), and reverse recovery time (25 ns). Thermal performance and switching characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection is based on inventory availability and supply chain logistics. Both parts are Active products with equivalent performance. RFN3BM2STL currently maintains higher inventory levels (3900 units versus 3295 units).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RFN3BGE2STL and RFN3BM2STL are ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-frequency switching applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as fast recovery diodes with identical 25 ns reverse recovery time and fast recovery speed specification (≤ 500ns, > 200mA). Switching performance is equivalent for applications within the specified 3 A current and 200 V voltage ratings.
