1SV246-TL-E

Overview

The onsemi 1SV246-TL-E is a dual series PIN diode designed for VHF, UHF, and AGC applications. It integrates two elements in an MCP (SC-70/SOT-323) package to facilitate high-density mounting. Key electrical specifications include a maximum reverse voltage of 50 V and a forward current rating of 50 mA. The device exhibits a typical interterminal capacitance of 0.23 pF at 50 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency. At 100 MHz with a 10 mA forward current, the typical series resistance is 5 Ω. The junction temperature range extends from -55 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual series connection of two elements within a compact package to enable high-density mounting and reduced equipment size.

Applications

• VHF and UHF circuits
• Automatic Gain Control (AGC) systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix TL-E confirms the tape-and-reel packaging format containing 3,000 pieces per reel. Ensure the component meets Pb-Free requirements as indicated in the official ordering information. Confirm that the MCP package designation aligns with SC-70 or SOT-323 footprint standards required by the target assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low interterminal capacitance and small form factor are critical for VHF/UHF designs. The dual-series configuration allows for higher voltage handling compared to single elements while maintaining a minimal footprint. Verify that the 50 V reverse voltage and 50 mA forward current ratings sufficiently cover the operational stress conditions of the intended circuit application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1SV246 family of PIN diodes manufactured by onsemi. It utilizes the MCP package style, which corresponds to JEITA and JEDEC standards for SC-70 and SOT-323 footprints. The device is specifically engineered for radio frequency switching and attenuation tasks requiring small physical dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference data for verified substitutes. Generic PIN diodes may not match the specific 0.23 pF capacitance or 5 Ω series resistance characteristics required for precise RF performance in this application.
