AU01ZV

Overview

The AU01ZV is a fast recovery diode manufactured by Sanken Electric USA Inc. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward current rating of 0.5 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.7 V at the rated current and a typical reverse recovery time of 400 ns. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C and utilizes an axial leaded package.

Feature Summary

• Optimized lifetime control for fast recovery performance
• Lead-free construction compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• Secondary side rectifier in flyback converters
• Secondary side rectifier in LLC converters
• Freewheel diode in offline buck converters
• Freewheel diode in buck-boost converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V' against official datasheets to confirm packaging or variant distinctions, as standard part numbers may denote bulk or tape-and-reel configurations. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer documentation prior to integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring fast switching characteristics with moderate current handling capabilities. Ensure the design accounts for the 400 ns reverse recovery time and thermal management within the specified junction temperature limits during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AU01 series of fast recovery diodes from Sanken Electric. These devices are engineered for general-purpose power conversion applications where reduced switching losses and improved efficiency are required compared to standard recovery diodes.
