EGL41F-E3/96

Single Diodes Overview

The EGL41F-E3/96 is a fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a single diode configuration housed in a DO-213AB surface-mount package with two pins. The device supports a maximum average forward current of 1 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 300 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.25 V, a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 30 A, and a peak reverse recovery time of 50 ns. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast recovery performance with a 50 ns peak reverse recovery time for efficient switching applications
• High thermal stability supporting operation up to a maximum junction temperature of 175°C
• Robust surge handling capability with a 30 A peak non-repetitive forward surge current rating

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency power supply circuits requiring fast rectification
• DC-DC converter output stages
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load switching applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation, as the EGL41F-E3/96 designation may indicate a specific packaging variant distinct from other EGL41 series parts like the /97 reel. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's datasheet or environmental declaration. Ensure the ordering quantity matches the required tape and reel specifications provided in the official product data sheet.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 300 V reverse voltage rating and 1 A continuous current are required in a compact DO-213AB footprint. The 50 ns recovery time makes it suitable for higher frequency applications compared to standard rectifiers. Compare the 1.25 V forward voltage drop against system efficiency requirements relative to alternative Schottky or silicon rectifiers in similar packages.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the EGL41 series of glass-passivated fast recovery rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings including 150 V, 200 V, 300 V, and 400 V variants. These components are designed for general-purpose high-speed switching applications, providing a balance between speed and ruggedness in a small surface-mount form factor.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include EGL41C-E3/96 (150 V) and EGL41G-E3/96 (400 V), provided the voltage rating aligns with circuit requirements. Other Vishay GL41 series parts with identical pinouts and similar electrical characteristics may serve as functional replacements if voltage and current specs match.
