Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPR5E3/TR13 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must satisfy the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 50 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2.5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 975 mV @ 2 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 25 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 2 µA @ 50 V
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Package / Case: DO-216AA
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

Compliance Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Active

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute lies in packaging format: the UPR5E3/TR13 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the UPR5E3/TR7 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both formats contain electrically and mechanically identical components.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPR5E3/TR7 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the UPR5E3/TR13. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, thermal ratings, and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is determined solely by packaging and supply chain requirements.

UPR5E3/TR13 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where continuous reel feeding is required. Tape & Reel packaging optimizes pick-and-place machine compatibility and reduces component handling.

UPR5E3/TR7 (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®): Suitable for lower-volume production runs, prototype development, and manual assembly operations. Cut Tape format provides flexibility for smaller quantity requirements, while Digi-Reel® packaging offers intermediate volume options.

Both parts maintain active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. No electrical performance differences exist between the two packaging formats. Component selection should be based on production volume, assembly equipment capability, and inventory management strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are UPR5E3/TR13 and UPR5E3/TR7 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Microchip Technology and share identical electrical specifications, including 50 V reverse voltage rating, 2.5 A average rectified current, 975 mV forward voltage drop at 2 A, and 25 ns reverse recovery time. The only difference is the packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels suitable for automated high-speed assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging provides components in cut tape format for lower-volume applications and intermediate volume options via Digi-Reel® format. Both formats contain the same component in the same DO-216AA package.

Q: Can I use UPR5E3/TR7 as a direct replacement for UPR5E3/TR13 in my circuit design?

A: Yes. The UPR5E3/TR7 is a direct substitute for UPR5E3/TR13. No circuit modifications are required. The component footprint, electrical performance, and thermal characteristics are identical. Only the supply format differs.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both UPR5E3/TR13 and UPR5E3/TR7 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Both parts are active products with identical regulatory status.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these diodes?

A: The junction operating temperature range for both UPR5E3/TR13 and UPR5E3/TR7 is -55°C to 150°C. This range applies regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the two packaging formats?

A: No. The electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and reliability of the component are independent of packaging format. Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® formats contain identical diodes with identical specifications.
