RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific -BLKG suffix indicates bulk packaging containing 100 units per antistatic bag. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives by checking the latest product documentation before procurement.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component when a single PIN diode with high breakdown voltage and low parasitic capacitance is required. The SOT-23 package suits space-constrained designs. Verify that the 1500 ns carrier lifetime aligns with the specific speed requirements of the target application circuit.

RF Diode Part Context

This part belongs to the HSMP-381x family of surface mount RF PIN diodes manufactured by Broadcom Limited. The series includes various configurations such as single, dual, series, and common anode/cathode options within SOT-23 and SOT-323 packages. The HSMP-3810 specifically denotes the single diode variant optimized for general low-distortion attenuation tasks.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include HSMP-381B-BLKG, which shares identical electrical characteristics but utilizes the SOT-323 package instead of SOT-23. Other variants like HSMP-381C or HSMP-381E offer different internal configurations and should be evaluated based on circuit topology requirements.
