Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN262CST2R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Diode Type: PIN - Single configuration required
• Voltage Rating: 30V peak reverse voltage minimum
• Package: 2-SMD, Flat Lead form factor for PCB compatibility
• Capacitance: 0.4pF @ 1V, 1MHz specification
• Resistance: 1.5Ohm @ 10mA, 100MHz specification
• Operating Temperature: 150°C (TJ) maximum rating
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS and MSL ratings

The JDP2S02AFS(TPL3) from Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage meets all critical substitution criteria across voltage, capacitance, resistance, temperature, and package specifications. Current rating differences do not preclude substitution when application requirements remain within the substitute part's 50 mA maximum specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JDP2S02AFS(TPL3) serves as a direct functional substitute for the RN262CST2R based on electrical parameter equivalence and environmental compliance alignment. Both components maintain identical voltage ratings, capacitance, resistance, and operating temperature specifications. The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Selection of the JDP2S02AFS(TPL3) is appropriate for applications where the 50 mA current specification satisfies circuit requirements. Applications requiring the full 100 mA current capability of the RN262CST2R must evaluate whether the substitute part's lower current rating presents a constraint. Both components meet RoHS compliance requirements and maintain MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting equivalent handling and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the JDP2S02AFS(TPL3) replace the RN262CST2R in all applications?

A: The JDP2S02AFS(TPL3) provides electrical and mechanical equivalence across all specified parameters. Substitution is valid when circuit current requirements do not exceed 50 mA. Applications drawing higher currents must evaluate whether the substitute part's current rating creates a functional limitation.

Q: Are the package specifications identical between these parts?

A: Both components use 2-SMD, Flat Lead packaging. Physical dimensions and PCB footprints are equivalent, supporting direct board-level substitution without layout modification.

Q: What is the difference in product status between these parts?

A: The RN262CST2R is classified as Not For New Designs, indicating Rohm has discontinued active development and support. The JDP2S02AFS(TPL3) maintains Active status, ensuring ongoing manufacturing availability and technical support from Toshiba.

Q: Do these parts require different handling or storage procedures?

A: Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, requiring identical handling, storage, and reflow protocols. No procedural differences apply between the two parts.

Q: Are the RF characteristics identical at operating frequency?

A: Capacitance and resistance specifications are identical at 1 MHz and 100 MHz respectively, confirming equivalent RF performance characteristics across the specified frequency range.
