AU2PJHM3_A/I

Overview

The AU2PJHM3_A/I is an ultrafast avalanche surface mount rectifier from Vishay's eSMP series, housed in a SMPC (TO-277A) package. It features a single diode configuration with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and an average forward current rating of 2.0 A. The device exhibits a fast reverse recovery time of 75 ns and a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 1.13 V at 2.0 A. It supports a peak forward surge current of 30 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated pellet chip junction for high reliability
• Controlled avalanche characteristics for robust performance
• Very low profile design suitable for automated placement

Applications

• Lighting circuits
• High frequency rectification
• Freewheeling applications in switching mode converters
• Inverters for consumer, computer, automotive, and telecommunication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official documentation to confirm packaging quantity and revision status. Ensure compatibility with AEC-Q101 requirements if automotive qualification is necessary. Cross-reference datasheet document numbers to access the most current electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring controlled avalanche ruggedness and ultrafast switching speeds. The TO-277A package offers a compact footprint ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts. Evaluate thermal resistance values under actual mounting conditions to ensure junction temperatures remain within the specified operating range during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AU2PD, AU2PG, and AU2PJ family of ultrafast avalanche surface mount rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. These devices are designed for high-efficiency power conversion applications where fast recovery and avalanche capability are critical. The eSMP series provides a standardized low-profile solution for modern surface mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include AU2PDHM3_A/I and AU2PGHM3_A/I from the same Vishay family, which share identical packaging and general characteristics but differ in reverse voltage ratings.
