AS01AV1

Overview

The AS01AV1 is a general-purpose 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 600 mA. The device utilizes an axial through-hole package suitable for standard PCB mounting. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 500 ns, with a typical value of 400 ns. Forward voltage (Vf) is specified at 1.7 V when conducting 600 mA. Reverse leakage current is limited to 10 µA at the maximum rated voltage. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• High voltage blocking capability up to 600 V for robust reverse bias performance
• Fast recovery characteristics with trr typically under 500 ns
• Through-hole axial construction for reliable mechanical mounting
• Wide operating junction temperature range from -40°C to 150°C

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load switching applications
• Clamping diodes in protection circuits
• DC-AC conversion stages in industrial inverters

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix designation during procurement, as variations such as AU01AV or AS01AV may exist within the product family. Confirm that the specific part number matches the required 600 mA current rating and 600 V voltage rating. Ensure the axial through-hole package type aligns with the target board layout. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for any updates on RoHS compliance status or moisture sensitivity levels before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating and 600 mA continuous current capacity are required. The axial through-hole package is suitable for prototypes or high-reliability applications requiring manual soldering or wave soldering processes. Consider the 400 ns typical reverse recovery time for frequencies where standard recovery diodes might exhibit excessive losses. Ensure the thermal management design supports the 150°C maximum junction temperature limit under expected load conditions.

Part Context

The AS01AV1 belongs to the AS01 series of single diodes produced by Sanken Electric. This series is designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable rectification in medium-power circuits. The axial leaded format distinguishes it from surface-mount alternatives, catering to traditional manufacturing methods. The product line emphasizes durability and consistent electrical performance across varying environmental temperatures.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed parameter-equivalent substitutes include AU01AV, AU01AV0, AU01AV1, AU01AWK, and AU01AWS from Sanken Electric. Verify that any replacement maintains the 600 V Vr and 600 mA Io ratings. Ensure the physical package dimensions match the existing footprint if space is constrained.
