AG01AV1

Overview

The AG01AV1 is a standard single diode manufactured by Sanken Electric USA Inc. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 600 V and an average rectified forward current (Io) of 500 mA. The device utilizes axial through-hole packaging. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 1.8 V at 600 mA, a reverse recovery time (trr) of 100 ns, and a reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 600 V. The junction operating temperature range spans from -40°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Fast recovery performance with a maximum reverse recovery time of 100 ns
• High thermal stability supporting junction temperatures up to 150°C
• Axial leaded construction for reliable through-hole mounting

Applications

• Secondary side rectifier diodes in flyback converters
• Freewheel diodes in offline buck and buck-boost converters
• General purpose rectification in industrial electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AV1 against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical tolerances match the design requirements. Ensure the axial package dimensions are compatible with the PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by environmental regulations. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating and 500 mA continuous current capacity are required. The 100 ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for higher frequency switching applications compared to standard rectifiers. Consider the axial package constraints during layout planning. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 150°C junction limit.

Part Context

The AG01AV1 belongs to the AG01 series of fast recovery diodes produced by Sanken Electric. This series is designed for general-purpose rectification tasks requiring moderate speed and voltage ratings. The component is widely used in power supply circuits where efficient energy conversion and reliability are critical. It serves as a discrete semiconductor solution for various consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

The AU01A is listed as a parameter-equivalent substitute. Verify that the AU01A's 400 V rating meets the circuit requirements, as it differs from the AG01AV1's 600 V rating. Other equivalents include AU01AV and AU01AV0, but their voltage specifications must be checked against the original design constraints.
