EGL41B-E3/97

Single Diodes Overview

The EGL41B-E3/97 is a fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a 300 V DC reverse voltage rating and supports a 1 A average forward current. The device utilizes glass passivation for junction protection and is housed in the DO-213AB (SMA) surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.25 V at 1 A, a peak pulse forward current of 30 A, and a typical reverse leakage current of 5 µA. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and marking codes. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required tape-and-reel quantity specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest environmental declaration before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount fast recovery diode with high-temperature capability is required. The DO-213AB package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 300 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements under all operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the EGL41 series of fast recovery rectifiers from Vishay. The series provides various voltage ratings within the same physical package family, allowing for design flexibility. The E3 suffix indicates lead-free and halogen-free construction compliant with modern environmental standards.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic replacements must match the DO-213AB package, 300 V rating, 1 A current capacity, and fast recovery speed specifications.
