Hi 🙂
I am ordering some components from Reichelt and when I was searching for FR207 i got this as result Security Check
FR207 = FR207G = BYV96
= Not identical with BYV 96E
Can I use byv96 as replacement, if not what is correct replacement for FR207, thanks.
I need 8 pcs, 4 for lm317 power supply and 4 for jlh headamp kit.

This is the recommended replacement according to Farnell;
https://uk.farnell.com/multicomp-pro/fr207/rectifier-single-2a-1kv-do-204ac/dp/2675057
it is a 1kv 2A normal recovery diode. Nothing too special.

If you need that high voltage/current parameter all of them are in the same ballpark the BYV part is the faster switching for SMPS/converter applications, if you are using them as low volt rectifier parts its like running a Corvette in a disney land parklot
The power supply has a lot of capacitance? High voltage rectifiers don't get a long with high current pulses

The FR series are fast recovery diodes. Hence the FR on the number.
The BYV96 series are also fast recovery, but while the BYV96E is a 1000v part, it is only rated 1.5A, while the FR207 is a 2A part.
To replace the FR207, look for a fast recovery 1000v 2A part. Which includes FR207.
Jon's link says standard recovery, but the data sheet from Farnell says fast recovery.

Agreed FR is Fast Recovery

HER208 comes to mind ...

I've dealt with Shengming several times without issue so if you can wait and need a bunch, they are an option. My go to Chinese supplier.

HER is ultrafast and has larger voltage drop than fast FR.
I would better use some Shottky for 20V 0.5A.

True... I didn't really think a 0.4V difference on a 1000V part was a big deal...
Here's FR207 from Shengming.

For what it's worth, I use FR607 in my monobloc amps for the diodes in the voltage doubler PSU.
