8EWS08STRL

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 8EWS08STRL is a surface mountable input rectifier diode from the SAFEIR series, housed in a TO-252AA (D-Pak) package. It features an 800 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage and supports an average forward current of 8 A at a case temperature of 95°C. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 5 A and 1.1 V at 8 A. It withstands a peak non-repetitive surge current of 200 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Optimized for very low forward voltage drop with moderate leakage characteristics
• Glass passivation technology ensures reliable operation up to 150°C junction temperature
• High reverse voltage capability provides outstanding voltage surge protection

Single Diodes Applications

• Input stage primary rectification
• Single-phase bridge rectification circuits
• Three-phase bridge rectification circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'TRL' corresponds to the left reel orientation as specified in the datasheet. Confirm the component matches the 800V rating indicated by the '08' code. Ensure compatibility with International Rectiver switches and output rectifiers sharing identical package outlines if used in integrated designs.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing input rectification stages requiring high voltage surge capability and low conduction losses. The TO-252AA package facilitates efficient thermal management through direct PCB mounting. Verify that the required forward current does not exceed 8 A under standard operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 8EWS..S SAFEIR series manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as 1000V and 1200V options. The manufacturer previously operated as International Rectifier, which influences the design lineage and application notes associated with these components.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Vishay 8EWS series parts like VS-8EWS08STR-M3 or generic equivalents in the TO-252AA package with matching 8A/800V ratings.
