AGP15-600-E3/54

Overview

The AGP15-600-E3/54 is a glass-passivated junction plastic controlled avalanche rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a Superectifier structure for high reliability and cavity-free construction. The device provides a maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage of 600 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 A at an ambient temperature of 55 °C with specified lead lengths. It exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V and a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -65 to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure ensures high reliability and cavity-free glass-passivated junction integrity
• Controlled avalanche characteristics provide robust performance in transient conditions
• Low leakage current specification enhances efficiency in general purpose applications

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter circuits
• Converter systems
• Freewheeling diode applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance status and packaging details. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance, while the HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. Confirm that the required package code matches the intended delivery mode, such as tape and reel or ammo pack, prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a controlled avalanche rating is required for protection against voltage spikes. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 600 V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage. Verify thermal management requirements against the specified operating temperature range and thermal resistance values to maintain reliable operation under load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AGP15 series, which includes variants rated from 400 V to 800 V. All members share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for their reverse voltage ratings. The series utilizes the DO-204AC (DO-15) case style and is designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other AGP15 series parts with matching voltage ratings, such as the AGP15-400 or AGP15-800, provided the reverse voltage requirements align. Cross-brand replacements must match the 1.5 A current rating, DO-204AC package, and controlled avalanche specifications.
