F3A

Single Diodes Overview

The Good-Ark Semiconductor F3A is a surface mount glass passivated standard rectifier designed for general-purpose rectification. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. The device operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55 to +150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 1.0 V at 1 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 5 µA at rated blocking voltage, and a typical junction capacitance of 4.0 pF measured at 1 MHz. The component utilizes the eSGA (SOD-123FL) package.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated construction ensures stable electrical performance and reliability under varying conditions.
• Very low profile design with a typical height of 1.0 mm facilitates compact circuit board layouts.
• Low leakage current and low forward voltage drop contribute to improved energy efficiency.
• Qualified under AEC-Q101 standards for automotive application requirements.

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in lighting systems
• Power supply circuits for consumer electronics
• Rectification in cellular phones and portable devices

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the F3A designation to ensure the correct 200 V reverse voltage rating. Confirm the package type is eSGA (SOD-123FL) as specified in the datasheet. Ensure compliance with moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 if required by the assembly process. Check for halogen-free certification according to IEC 61249-2-21 definition if environmental regulations apply.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select the F3A when a 200 V reverse voltage rating is required for surface mount applications. Consider this component for designs needing a 1.0 A continuous forward current capability. Evaluate the thermal resistance values against the expected operating environment to ensure junction temperatures remain within the specified -55 to +150 °C range. Compare the low forward voltage drop against other rectifiers to optimize power loss in the target circuit.

Single Diodes Part Context

The F3A belongs to the F1A through F7A series of surface mount glass passivated standard rectifiers manufactured by Good-Ark Semiconductor. This family shares common physical dimensions and packaging but varies in reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V. All members of this series maintain a consistent 1.0 A forward current rating and utilize the eSGA package format.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other components within the F1A-F7A series may serve as substitutes if voltage ratings align with circuit requirements. Verify that any replacement maintains the same eSGA footprint and pin configuration to ensure mechanical compatibility without PCB redesign.
