FR2M

Single Diodes Overview

The Diotec Semiconductor FR2M is a fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode designed for high-speed switching applications. It features an average forward current rating of 2 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1000 V. The device utilizes the DO-214AA (SMB) package, ensuring reliable SMD/SMT mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.3 V at 2 A, a reverse recovery time of less than 500 ns, and a maximum surge current capability of 50 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast recovery performance with a reverse recovery time under 500 ns
• High thermal stability supporting operation up to 150°C junction temperature
• Robust surge current handling capability for transient protection
• Standardized SMB surface-mount footprint for automated assembly

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency AC/DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in DC/DC converter circuits
• Protection diodes in relay driver circuits
• General-purpose rectification in industrial power supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct voltage and package specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and any automotive qualification requirements if applicable to your design. Check for updated datasheet revisions before finalizing component selection.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V blocking voltage and 2 A continuous current are required in a compact SMB package. Ensure the application frequency supports the <500 ns reverse recovery time. Verify that the PCB copper pad area meets the recommended 50 mm² per terminal for optimal thermal dissipation.

Single Diodes Part Context

The FR2M belongs to the FR2A through FR2M series of fast recovery rectifiers from Diotec Semiconductor. This family shares identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their rated reverse voltage capabilities. The FR2M represents the highest voltage variant in this specific standard SMB series.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other devices within the Diotec FR2A-FR2M series may serve as substitutes if voltage ratings align with circuit requirements. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must match the 2 A current, 1000 V reverse voltage, and <500 ns recovery time specifications while maintaining the DO-214AA footprint.
