70CRU02

Overview

The 70CRU02 is an ultrafast rectifier diode array manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a dual common cathode configuration housed in a TO-218AC (TO-218) through-hole package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward current of 35 A per diode. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.09 V at 35 A, a typical reverse recovery time of 35 ns, and a maximum non-repetitive surge current of 600 A. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to 175°C.
