BA158GPE-E3/54

Overview

The BA158GPE-E3/54 is a standard recovery single diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 600 V and an average rectified current (Io) of 1 A. The forward voltage (Vf) is specified as 1.3 V at 1 A, with a peak reverse recovery time (trr) of 250 ns. Reverse leakage current is 5 µA at 600 V, and capacitance is 12 pF at 4 V, 1 MHz. It utilizes a DO-204AL axial package for through-hole mounting and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Standard recovery speed suitable for general-purpose applications
• Through-hole axial leaded construction for reliable mounting
• RoHS compliant manufacturing process

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• Reverse polarity protection in electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3/54 to confirm RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging format. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target circuit design. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may vary stock levels for this specific Vishay component variant.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating and 1 A continuous current capacity are required. The 250 ns reverse recovery time makes it appropriate for standard frequency applications rather than high-speed switching. The DO-204AL package is suitable for PCBs requiring through-hole assembly techniques.

Part Context

This device belongs to Vishay's standard rectifier diode lineup, designed for robust performance in general electronics. It shares the DO-204AL form factor common to many axial diodes, facilitating easy integration into existing board layouts that support this standard package type.
