GL34B-E3/83

Single Diodes Overview

The GL34B-E3/83 is a small signal switching diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a single configuration in a DO-213AA (SMB) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a peak reverse voltage of 100 V, an average forward current of 500 mA, and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 10 A. The device exhibits a typical reverse recovery time of 150 ns and a forward voltage of 1.3 V at rated current. Reverse leakage current is specified at 5 uA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65 C to +175 C and holds AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive reliability.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure designed for high reliability under demanding conditions
• Glass-passivated junction providing enhanced stability and protection
• Qualified to AEC-Q100 standards for automotive applications
• Low forward voltage drop and low leakage current characteristics

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inverters and converters
• Automotive electronic circuits
• Telecommunication equipment

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /83 against official Vishay documentation to confirm reel packaging specifications and quantity per unit. Ensure the component meets RoHS directives and REACH SVHC requirements for your target market. Confirm AEC-Q100 qualification status if used in automotive designs. Cross-reference the DO-213AA footprint with your PCB layout guidelines.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V rating and 500 mA continuous current are required in a compact SMB package. The 150 ns reverse recovery time suits general switching applications rather than high-frequency RF uses. Consider the wide operating temperature range for harsh environments. Verify that the single-diode configuration matches the circuit topology needs.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the GL34 series of surface mount glass passivated junction rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings, with the 'B' suffix typically denoting the 100 V variant. These diodes utilize Superectifier technology for improved ruggedness compared to standard planar devices. They are designed for automated placement in high-volume manufacturing processes.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as GL34B-E3/98 or other GL34 variants with identical voltage and current ratings. Ensure any substitute maintains the DO-213AA package dimensions and thermal characteristics. Verify that alternative parts also meet AEC-Q100 requirements if automotive compliance is necessary.
