Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required delivery mode; /84A indicates a 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 3000 units. Confirm compliance requirements by checking if the M3 or HM3 suffix is needed, as the latter denotes automotive grade material categorization. Ensure the component meets specific JESD 201 class 2 whisker test standards before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single circuit configuration with a 600 V reverse voltage rating is required. The 1.0 A average forward current and 120 ns reverse recovery time make it suitable for high-speed switching environments. Consider the thermal resistance values and operating temperature limits to ensure proper heat dissipation in the target application design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the eSMP series of surface mount fast avalanche rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as AR1PD through AR1PM. These components are designed for robust performance in demanding electronic environments while maintaining a compact form factor.
