GI2402-E3/45

Diode Arrays Overview

The GI2402-E3/45 is a dual common-cathode ultrafast plastic rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a glass passivated pellet chip junction and operates within a temperature range of -65 to +150 °C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 100 V, an average forward rectified current (IF(AV)) of 16 A at a case temperature of 100 °C, and a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 125 A. The device exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage (VF) of 0.975 V at 8 A and 25 °C, with a maximum DC reverse current (IR) of 50 µA at rated blocking voltage. The typical reverse recovery time (trr) is 35 ns.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number GI2402-E3/45 against official Vishay documentation to confirm the 100 V rating and TO-220AB package. Ensure compliance requirements match the E3 suffix designation. Confirm thermal management needs align with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values provided in the datasheet.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common-cathode configuration is required for high-frequency power conversion circuits. The 100 V reverse voltage rating suits applications operating below this threshold. Consider the 16 A current capacity and 35 ns recovery time for efficient switching performance in compact designs utilizing the TO-220AB package.

Diode Arrays Part Context
