FR101-TP

Single Diodes Overview

The FR101-TP is a silicon fast recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a glass-passivated junction and is housed in the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V, an average forward rectified current of 1 A, and a maximum non-repetitive peak surge forward current of 30 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 1.3 V at 1 A and a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 50 V. It supports a maximum operating junction temperature of +150 °C and a minimum of -55 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and compliance status. Ensure the ordering code matches the required packaging format, such as cut tape or reel, for automated assembly processes. Cross-reference the component marking with official MCC identification guides to prevent counterfeit parts. Confirm RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is available for regulatory requirements in the target market.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 A current rating and 50 V blocking voltage are sufficient for the circuit design. Consider the DO-214AC package size constraints and thermal dissipation capabilities relative to the PCB layout. Evaluate the 150 °C junction temperature limit against the expected ambient operating conditions. Compare the 150 ns reverse recovery time with system switching frequency requirements to ensure minimal switching losses.

Single Diodes Part Context

The FR101-TP belongs to the FR10 series of fast recovery rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. This series typically spans voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V, maintaining consistent current handling and package styles across variants. The FR101 specifically addresses low-voltage, high-current applications requiring rapid switching performance. It serves as a surface-mount alternative to through-hole equivalents like the 1N540x series.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Potential substitutes include the FR101-G from RCD Components or the SR105 from Diodes Inc., provided voltage and current ratings meet or exceed specifications. Verify that replacement packages match the SMA footprint and pin configuration. Check reverse recovery time and forward voltage characteristics to ensure equivalent circuit performance.
