8EWS10STRL

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 8EWS10STRL is a surface mountable standard recovery rectifier diode from the SAFEIR series. It features an 8 A average forward current rating and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V. The device utilizes glass passivation technology for reliable operation up to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is housed in a TO-252AA (D-Pak) package with a left reel tape and reel option.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Optimized for very low forward voltage drop with moderate leakage current
• Glass passivation technology ensures reliable operation at high temperatures
• High reverse voltage range provides outstanding voltage surge capability

Single Diodes Applications

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

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'TRL' corresponds to the required left reel orientation, as other suffixes like 'TRR' indicate right orientation. Confirm that the component is sourced directly from Vishay or authorized distributors to ensure authenticity. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to thermal resistance or electrical specifications before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface mount standard recovery rectifier with high surge capability is required. Ensure the application supports the TO-252AA footprint and the specified thermal management requirements. Consider the 1000 V reverse voltage rating against the circuit's peak inverse voltage demands.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 8EWS..S SAFEIR series, which includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 800 V and 1200 V. The series is designed to be used with International Rectifier switches and output rectifiers sharing identical package outlines. The '10' in the model number specifically denotes the 1000 V voltage code.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include 8EWS08S (800 V) and 8EWS12S (1200 V). Verify that the alternative voltage rating meets the circuit requirements and that the package outline remains identical for direct replacement.
