FRA804G-BP

Single Diodes Overview

The FRA804G-BP is a glass-passivated fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features an average forward current of 8 A at a case temperature of 100°C and a maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage of 400 V. The device has a maximum RMS voltage of 280 V and a maximum DC blocking voltage of 400 V. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.3 V at 8.0 A, a maximum reverse recovery time of 150 ns, and a typical junction capacitance of 60 pF measured at 1.0 MHz.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides protection against mechanical stress and environmental variations.
• Fast recovery characteristics enable efficient operation in high-frequency switching applications.
• High surge current capability supports robust performance during transient load conditions.

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the part number suffix to confirm compliance with RoHS directives, as the BP designation indicates bulk packaging. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine components with full traceability. Confirm that the specific batch meets the required halogen-free standards if the HF suffix is necessary for your assembly process.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V rating and 8 A continuous current capacity are required. Consider the 150 ns reverse recovery time for applications demanding faster switching speeds than standard rectifiers. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 3.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and derating curves provided in the datasheet.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the FRA801G through FRA807G series of fast recovery rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers varying voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. The TO-220AC package facilitates through-hole mounting for industrial and commercial electronic equipment.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent 8 A, 400 V fast recovery rectifiers in the TO-220AC package. Verify that substitute parts match the 150 ns reverse recovery time and 1.3 V forward voltage specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
