EGP20D-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The EGP20D-E3/73 is a glass-passivated ultrafast plastic rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a Superectifier structure and cavity-free junction for high reliability. The device operates in the DO-15 (DO-204AC) through-hole package with matte tin-plated leads. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V, a maximum average forward rectified current of 2.0 A, and a peak forward surge current of 75 A. The typical reverse recovery time is 50 ns, with a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 0.95 V at 2.0 A. Maximum DC reverse current is 5.0 µA at 25 °C. Operating and storage temperature range spans from -65 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official Vishay documentation before integration. Confirm that the ordering suffix /73 corresponds to the specified Ammo Pack packaging containing 2000 units per base quantity. Ensure lead length requirements match the thermal resistance calculations provided in the datasheet for accurate performance validation.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a fast recovery diode with a 200 V blocking capability is required. The DO-15 package supports through-hole mounting suitable for general-purpose industrial and consumer applications. Consider the 50 ns reverse recovery time for high-frequency switching environments where minimizing turn-off losses is critical for system efficiency.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the EGP20 series of glass-passivated ultrafast plastic rectifiers. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 400 V. All members share the same physical package, current rating, and ultrafast recovery characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

EGP20D-E3/54 serves as an alternative packaging option for the same electrical specification.
