EGP31A-E3/C

Single Diodes Overview

The EGP31A-E3/C is a fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward rectified current of 3 A. The component utilizes a DO-201AD-2 (DO-204AC) axial leaded package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage drop of 950 mV at 3 A, a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 125 A, and a reverse leakage current of 5 µA. The device is designed for high-temperature operation with a junction temperature range from -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official Vishay documentation to ensure correct voltage rating and packaging specifications. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors as production lifecycles may change. Request the latest datasheet to validate environmental compliance markings and pinout compatibility before integration into design schematics.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V blocking voltage and 3 A continuous current capacity are required in an axial package. Ensure the circuit operates within the specified 50 ns reverse recovery time limits. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the DO-201AD-2 footprint and that thermal management strategies support the 175°C maximum junction temperature rating under expected load conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the EGP series of fast recovery rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings and current capacities in standard axial packages. The EGP31A variant specifically targets 100 V applications, distinguishing it from higher voltage counterparts like the EGP30C or lower voltage variants within the same product family line.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay EGP series parts such as EGP30C-E3/C for different voltage requirements. Verify pinout and package dimensions match DO-201AD-2 standards when substituting with generic equivalents.
