RL207GP-BP

Single Diodes Overview

The RL207GP-BP is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a 2.0 A average forward rectified current rating and supports reverse voltage capabilities ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, with the specific '7' suffix indicating a 1000 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. The device utilizes a glass-passivated silicon junction for enhanced reliability and low leakage current. It is housed in a DO-15 axial leaded plastic package, designed for general-purpose rectification applications requiring high surge current capability.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated silicon junction construction ensures high reliability and low leakage current.
• High forward surge current capability provides robustness against transient overloads.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved efficiency in power conversion circuits.

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in AC-to-DC power supplies
• Bridge rectifier configurations
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the exact reverse voltage rating required for your application, as the RL207GP series covers a range up to 1000 V. Confirm that the DO-15 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the datasheet for thermal derating curves to maintain safe operating temperatures under load.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2 A current rating and 1000 V blocking voltage are necessary for standard frequency rectification. Consider the DO-15 package size constraints relative to available board space. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the expected forward current and ambient temperature conditions. Compare performance metrics such as reverse recovery time against alternative rectifiers if high-frequency switching is involved.

Single Diodes Part Context

The RL207GP-BP belongs to MCC's RL20xGP series of glass-passivated rectifiers. This family offers consistent electrical characteristics across various voltage ratings, allowing designers to standardize components within a product line. The 'BP' suffix typically denotes bulk packaging, distinguishing it from tape-and-reel variants like the 'TP' suffix. These devices are engineered for cost-effective mass production while maintaining high quality standards.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N5408 series for similar 3 A/1000 V specifications in DO-201AD packages, though pin spacing may differ. Direct replacements in DO-15 packages should be verified for identical forward voltage and reverse leakage characteristics. Always confirm mechanical compatibility before substituting with generic industry equivalents.
