Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution in the "Diodes, Rectifiers" category is determined strictly by the following key parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max)
• Current - Average Rectified (Io)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr
• Speed classification
• Mounting Type
• Package / Case
• Operating Temperature - Junction Range
• RoHS and MSL Compliance

The substitute part listed, EGP20G-E3/54, matches the RL 2 on these critical electrical and mechanical parameters per the provided specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Given the RL 2 diode is classified as Obsolete, selection of the EGP20G-E3/54 as a substitute is based on matching voltage, current ratings, reverse recovery characteristics, package type, and compliance statuses. EGP20G-E3/54 maintains active product status, meets ROHS3 and MSL 1 (Unlimited) compliance, and matches the required ECCN and HTSUS codes. No further selection criteria are present in the provided data.
