Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /83 corresponds to the 9000-unit 13-inch tape and reel delivery mode as documented in the manufacturer's ordering information. Confirm that the EGL34D variant designation aligns with the required 400 V rating. Ensure compliance requirements match the E3 suffix specifications for RoHS compliance and lead finish standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V blocking capability is required within a compact GL34 surface-mount footprint. The 50 ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for high-frequency switching applications where minimizing switching losses is critical. Verify that the 0.5 A average current rating meets the thermal management constraints of the target circuit design under expected ambient temperature conditions.
