GS1A

Single Diodes Overview

The GS1A is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage of 50 V and an average rectified forward current of 1 A. The device utilizes glass passivated die construction for reliability. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1 A, a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 400 V, and a reverse recovery time of 2.5 µs. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures stable performance and protection against mechanical stress.
• Ideally suited for automatic assembly processes due to its surface mount design.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to reduced power loss during operation.

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in low voltage circuits
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load switching
• Snubber circuits for transient suppression

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix or packaging option required for your production line, as availability may vary between cut tape, reel, or other formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements with the supplier before finalizing orders to ensure compatibility with your assembly process standards.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V reverse voltage rating and 1 A continuous current capacity are sufficient for the application. Consider the 2.5 µs reverse recovery time for frequency limitations. Ensure the DO-214AC (SMA) package fits the PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements of the design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the GS1 series of surface mount glass passivated standard diodes from SMC Diode Solutions. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package dimensions. It is designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable rectification in compact electronic devices.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for equivalent parts offering identical 50 V / 1 A specifications in the SMA package. Verify that any substitute matches the reverse recovery time and forward voltage characteristics to maintain circuit performance without modification.
