EGL34G-E3/83

Single Diodes Overview

The EGL34G-E3/83 is a surface-mount ultrafast recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a glass-passivated junction and is housed in the DO-213AA (GL34) package. The device supports a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 400 V and an average forward rectified current of 500 mA. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.35 V, a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at rated voltage, and a fast recovery time of 50 ns. It withstands a surge current of 10 A and operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Ultrafast recovery performance with 50 ns switching speed for high-frequency applications
• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and protection against moisture and chemical corrosion
• Extended thermal capability allows operation up to +175 °C junction temperature

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in power supplies
• Snubber circuits in switching regulators

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /83 indicates the standard tape-and-reel packaging configuration as defined in the official datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the component matches the GL34 footprint dimensions during integration. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit designs require low reverse recovery charge and minimal switching losses in compact surface-mount layouts. The 400 V rating provides sufficient margin for common bus voltages, while the 500 mA current capacity suits low-to-medium power stages. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the 1.35 V forward drop at full load conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the EGL34x series of ultrafast recovery rectifiers from Vishay. These devices are designed for general-purpose high-speed switching applications where small size and fast response are critical. The series utilizes advanced glass passivation technology to enhance reliability compared to standard plastic-packaged alternatives.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include EGL34D-E3/83 and EGL34BHE3/83, which share identical packages but differ in reverse voltage ratings. Verify that alternative parts meet the 400 V requirement and 50 ns recovery time specifications.
