RL106-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RL106-TP is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 800 V DC reverse voltage and 1 A average rectified current in an axial through-hole package (A-405). This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The RL106-TP remains in stock inventory (905 pieces), but its obsolete status necessitates qualification of substitute components to ensure supply chain continuity and design flexibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RL106-TP is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 800 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 1 A
• Speed: Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 5 µA @ 800 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 15 pF @ 4V, 1MHz
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: Axial
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Supplier Device Package: A-405

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The RL106GP-TP qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical ratings, mechanical form factor, and compliance certifications while offering active product status and improved inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RL106GP-TP is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the RL106-TP. Both components share identical electrical specifications, thermal operating range, and package configuration. The primary distinction is product status: the RL106-TP is obsolete while the RL106GP-TP maintains active status with Micro Commercial Co.

For new designs and ongoing production, the RL106GP-TP is the appropriate selection. It provides:

• Identical electrical performance across all rated parameters
• Equivalent mechanical form factor (axial through-hole A-405 package)
• Identical RoHS3 compliance certification
• Active product status ensuring long-term availability
• Higher current inventory (948 pieces in stock)

The packaging difference (bulk versus Tape & Reel) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represents a supply chain consideration rather than a functional limitation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RL106GP-TP directly replace the RL106-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RL106GP-TP is electrically and mechanically identical to the RL106-TP. All electrical parameters, thermal ratings, and package specifications match exactly. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the RL106-TP and RL106GP-TP?

A: The components are functionally equivalent. The RL106-TP is classified as obsolete, while the RL106GP-TP maintains active product status. The RL106GP-TP is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, whereas the RL106-TP is supplied in bulk packaging. These differences do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both components carry identical RoHS3 compliance certification and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the RL106GP-TP affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a supply format that does not alter the component's electrical characteristics or physical dimensions. The diode itself remains identical in form and function.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution for this diode?

A: Substitution is determined by matching: reverse voltage rating (800 V), average rectified current (1 A), forward voltage drop (1.1 V @ 1 A), recovery speed (standard >500ns), reverse leakage current (5 µA @ 800 V), junction capacitance (15 pF @ 4V, 1MHz), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C).

Q: Is the RL106-TP still available for purchase?

A: The RL106-TP is classified as obsolete but remains in stock inventory (905 pieces). For new procurement, the RL106GP-TP is the recommended selection due to its active product status.
