EGP20A-TP

Single Diodes Overview

The EGP20A-TP is a glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 2.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device utilizes a DO-15 (DO-204AC) axial leaded package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a maximum RMS voltage of 35 V, a peak forward surge current rating of 60 A, and a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 50 V. The junction temperature range spans from -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and protection against moisture and chemical damage.
• Diffused junction construction ensures low leakage current characteristics.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved system efficiency.
• High current capability supports robust performance in power applications.

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC/DC power supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and shipping quantity. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by project specifications. Check component availability and obsolescence notices prior to finalizing design implementation. Ensure the selected variant matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target application environment.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 50 V reverse voltage rating with a 2 A continuous current capacity. Consider the DO-15 package size for board space constraints. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the specified junction temperature limits. Compare alternative fast recovery options if switching speed is critical, noting this is a standard recovery device.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the EGP20 series of high-efficiency glass-passivated rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 800 V while maintaining a consistent 2.0 A current capability. The EGP20A specifically denotes the 50 V variant within this standardized product line designed for general-purpose rectification tasks.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the HER201G-TP from MCC, which shares similar electrical characteristics and package form factor. Other manufacturers may offer compatible DO-15 rectifiers with matching 50 V and 2 A ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substitution.
