Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance status and packaging details. Confirm that the E3 suffix meets JESD 201 class 1A whisker test requirements as specified by the manufacturer. Ensure procurement channels provide valid datasheet references matching document number 88623 for technical validation.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fast switching speeds and low leakage currents. The TO-220AC package facilitates mounting on heatsinks with a thermal resistance from junction to case of 2.2 °C/W. Evaluate the 200 V reverse voltage rating against circuit peak voltages to ensure adequate safety margins during operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the GI140x series of ultrafast plastic rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, specifically 50 V, 100 V, 150 V, and 200 V.
