EGP31F-E3/C

Single Diodes Overview

The EGP31F-E3/C is a fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 300 V and an average forward rectified current of 3 A. The device utilizes a DO-201AD-2 axial through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 950 mV at 3 A, a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 uA, and a typical reverse recovery time of 50 ns. The component supports a maximum surge forward current of 125 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast recovery rectification with 50 ns reverse recovery time for efficient switching applications
• High thermal stability supporting operation up to +175°C junction temperature
• Robust surge current handling capability of 125 A for transient protection

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency AC/DC converters
• Free-wheeling diode circuits
• Polarity protection applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /E3/C against official Vishay documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and reel packaging specifications. Ensure the DO-201AD-2 axial package matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference the 300V rating with circuit design limits to prevent overvoltage failure during procurement validation.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 A current rating and 300 V blocking voltage are required in an axial through-hole configuration. The 50 ns recovery time distinguishes it from standard rectifiers, making it suitable for higher frequency operations where standard diodes would exhibit excessive losses. Verify that the 950 mV forward voltage drop aligns with the system's efficiency targets.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the EGP series of fast recovery rectifiers from Vishay. The series is designed for general-purpose high-speed switching applications. The EGP31F variant specifically denotes the 300 V version within the 3 A current family, sharing similar thermal and mechanical characteristics with other members like the EGP31C (150 V) while offering higher voltage blocking capability.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Parametric equivalents may be available from other manufacturers providing 3 A, 300 V, 50 ns fast recovery rectifiers in DO-201AD packages. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
