Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct packaging and terminal configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as this component may not meet all environmental directives. Validate that the stud mount interface matches your mechanical assembly requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high surge current tolerance and robust thermal dissipation via stud mounting. Ensure the system operates within the 100 V reverse voltage limit and accounts for the 1.3 V forward voltage drop to manage power losses effectively in high-amperage paths.
