Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact packaging quantities and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and material declarations required for your manufacturing region before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2A current rating and 50V blocking capability are required in a compact SMA footprint. The 50ns recovery time makes it suitable for frequencies exceeding standard general-purpose rectifiers. Verify thermal management requirements for the DO-214AA package under continuous load conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the HS series of high-efficiency recovery rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. These components are engineered to replace slower standard recovery diodes in modern switching power supplies, offering improved efficiency and lower electromagnetic interference compared to legacy alternatives.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other SMA-packaged 2A 50V fast recovery rectifiers. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure equivalent or superior reverse leakage and recovery time specifications before substituting.
