FR202G

Single Diodes Overview

The FR202G is a glass-passivated fast recovery rectifier diode manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward rectified current of 2 A. The device utilizes a DO-15 axial leaded package, suitable for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 200 V and a typical reverse recovery time of 75 ns. The junction temperature range extends from -65°C to 150°C, ensuring reliable operation in various power supply applications.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction provides high reliability and low leakage current.
• Fast recovery characteristics minimize switching losses in high-frequency circuits.
• High surge current capability supports transient load conditions.

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC/DC converters
• Freewheeling diodes in DC/DC converters
• Reverse polarity protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source when sourcing this component, as multiple vendors produce the FR202G designation. Confirm that the received parts match the required DO-15 package and electrical specifications. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process. Ensure the supplier provides valid datasheets confirming the 200V rating and 2A current capacity before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select the FR202G when a 200V blocking voltage and 2A continuous current are required in an axial package. This component is appropriate for designs needing faster recovery times than standard rectifiers but do not require ultra-fast speeds. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with the DO-15 package size during circuit layout.

Single Diodes Part Context

The FR202G belongs to the FR20x series of fast recovery rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. This series offers a range of voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V while maintaining consistent 2A current handling. The 'G' suffix typically indicates halogen-free green compound packaging, aligning with modern environmental standards for electronic components.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the FR202 from other manufacturers such as Taiwan Semiconductor or Formosa MS, provided they meet the same 200V, 2A, and DO-15 package specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and reverse recovery time equivalence before substitution.
