CR8U-02FP

Single Diodes Overview

The CR8U-02FP is an ultra-fast recovery rectifier from Central Semiconductor Corp, rated for a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 200 V and a DC blocking voltage of 200 V. It supports an average forward current of 8.0 A at 100°C case temperature and handles a peak forward surge current of 125 A. The device features a maximum reverse leakage current of 5.0 μA at rated voltage and 250 μA at 150°C. Typical forward voltage drop is 0.975 V at 8.0 A, with a typical reverse recovery time of 30 ns. Junction capacitance is 80 pF. Operating and storage temperatures range from -65 to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the End of Life status before procurement planning. Confirm if legacy inventory remains available or if alternative sourcing strategies are required. Contact engineering support for technical data on potential alternate sources since no direct replacement part number is provided by the manufacturer.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component only if the specific 200 V reverse voltage rating and 8.0 A current capacity align with the circuit requirements. Consider the TO-220FP-2 package constraints for thermal management. Evaluate the 30 ns reverse recovery time against the switching frequency needs of the application.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the CR8U series of silicon ultra-fast recovery rectifiers manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings (CR8U-04FP and CR8U-08FP) but shares similar current handling and package specifications. It is designed for applications requiring fast switching speeds and low forward voltage drops.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

No official replacement part numbers are listed by Central Semiconductor Corp. The product is classified as End of Life. Users must seek alternate sources or design around the discontinuation using other compatible ultra-fast recovery rectifiers that meet the electrical specifications.
