EG01AV

Single Diodes Overview

The EG01AV is a general-purpose axial lead diode manufactured by Sanken Electric USA Inc. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 600 V and an average forward rectified current (Io) of 500 mA. The device exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 600 V and a forward voltage drop of 1.7 V at 500 mA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C and complies with RoHS standards.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Axial through-hole package design for standard PCB mounting
• High thermal stability with a junction temperature rating up to 150°C
• Lead-free construction compliant with RoHS directives

Single Diodes Applications

• Secondary side rectifier diodes in flyback converters
• Freewheel diodes in offline buck and buck-boost converters
• General purpose rectification in industrial electronic equipment

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix variant (e.g., AV, AV0, AV1) against the schematic requirements, as these denote packaging or minor specification differences. Confirm that the 600V reverse voltage rating aligns with the circuit's peak inverse voltage demands. Ensure the 500mA current capacity meets the load requirements without exceeding thermal limits.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V rated general-purpose diode is required for low-current applications. Compare the 500mA average current rating against the expected load to ensure adequate margin. Consider the axial package constraints for board layout. Verify compatibility with existing supply chain sources for the specific suffix variant.

Single Diodes Part Context

The EG01AV belongs to Sanken's EG01 series of general-purpose fast recovery diodes. This series includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 200V, 400V, and 600V. The EG01AV specifically addresses the 600V requirement within this family, sharing similar structural characteristics with other members like the EG01AWK.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed parameter-equivalent substitutes include AU01A, AU01AV, and AU01AV0 from Sanken Electric. These alternatives share similar electrical profiles and should be evaluated for pin compatibility and thermal performance before substitution.
