Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific carrier quantity and reel configuration when ordering, as standard packaging is tape and reel with 7,500 pieces per reel. Confirm that the marking code corresponds to the lot variation indicated in the order information. Ensure compatibility with the recommended pad layout for the DO-214AC package during PCB design to maintain thermal and mechanical integrity. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring high reverse voltage blocking up to 1600 V with moderate current handling of 1 A. The ultrafast recovery time makes it suitable for high-frequency switching applications where low reverse recovery charge is critical. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing heat dissipation strategies, especially if operating near the maximum junction temperature limits. The SMA package offers a compact footprint for space-constrained designs.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the ultrafast recovery rectifier series from Good-Ark Semiconductor, targeting general-purpose rectification needs.
