1N6626U

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N6626U is a single ultra-fast recovery rectifier diode designed for surface-mount applications. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 220 V and an average forward current rating of 4 A. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of 1.5 V at rated current and a typical reverse leakage current of 2 uA. Its ultra-fast recovery time is specified at 45 ns, supporting high-frequency switching operations. The component is housed in the E package style and operates within a junction temperature range from -65 C to +150 C.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast recovery characteristics enable efficient high-frequency switching performance with minimal reverse recovery losses.
• High thermal stability allows reliable operation across a wide temperature range up to 150 C.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to reduced power dissipation and improved system efficiency.

Applications

• Switching power supplies requiring fast recovery times
• High-frequency rectification circuits
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Microchip documentation to confirm exact packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required surface-mount footprint and lead finish. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm compliance with current environmental standards and electrical tolerances before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single ultra-fast recovery rectifier with a 4 A current rating and 220 V blocking capability is required. Compare the 45 ns recovery time against circuit switching frequencies to ensure adequate performance margins. Evaluate the thermal management requirements given the 150 C maximum operating temperature limit and the specific thermal resistance of the E package.

Part Context
