CS2K-E3/I

Single Diodes Overview

The CS2K-E3/I is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V and an average forward rectified current of 1.6 A. The device utilizes a surface-mount DO-214AA (SMB) package. Key electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 1.15 V at 2 A and a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 800 V. The junction temperature range extends from -55°C to 150°C, with a typical reverse recovery time of 2.1 µs.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels due to potential counterfeit risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status matches project requirements. Check for specific suffix variations that may indicate different packaging or testing standards. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level guidelines before soldering.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when high voltage blocking capability is required in a compact surface-mount form factor. Consider the 2.1 µs reverse recovery time for switching frequency limitations. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 150°C junction limit. Compare against faster recovery alternatives if switching losses are critical to system efficiency.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the CS2 series of glass-passivated fast recovery rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings including 600V, 800V, and 1000V options within the same SMB footprint family. These devices are engineered for robust performance in industrial and consumer electronics requiring reliable unidirectional current flow.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitute: CS2K-E3/H. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance differences between the I and H suffix variants before implementation.
