1N6483-E3/96

Overview

The Vishay 1N6483-E3/96 is a surface-mount glass passivated junction rectifier belonging to the SUPERECTIFIER® series. It features a standard recovery time exceeding 500 ns at 200 mA forward current and operates in a DO-213AB (MELF) package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and withstands a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 10 µA at rated blocking voltage, and a typical junction capacitance of 8 pF at 4 V and 1 MHz. It offers a high forward surge capability of 30 A and functions within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix /96 corresponds to the specific tape and reel packaging configuration required for automated placement processes. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization definitions against the latest Vishay documentation before finalizing procurement orders to ensure adherence to environmental standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V reverse voltage rating and 1 A continuous current capacity are required in a compact MELF package. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the standard recovery speed exceeding 500 ns. Validate thermal management requirements against the specified junction temperature limits and derating curves for the intended operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay SUPERECTIFIER® family of surface-mount rectifiers, which includes variants with reverse voltages ranging from 50 V to 1000 V. All members share identical physical dimensions and electrical parameters except for the voltage rating, allowing for flexible design substitution within the same package footprint while maintaining consistent thermal and mechanical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 1N6482-E3/96 (600 V) and 1N6484-E3/96 (1000 V). Verify that the alternative voltage rating meets or exceeds the application's peak reverse voltage requirements without compromising the package compatibility or thermal performance specifications.

FAQ

How is cathode polarity indicated on the 1N6483-E3/96?

Polarity is marked by two bands on the device body. The first band denotes the device type, and the second band indicates the repetitive peak reverse voltage rating, identifying the cathode end.

What is the maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current?

The device can withstand a peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms single half sine-wave superimposed on the rated load.
