RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel packaging format. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any product change notices affecting pinout or material composition prior to final design approval.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this part when a bridge quad topology is required within a miniature SOT-363 footprint. The HSMS-282x series offers low series resistance and good RF characteristics suitable for frequencies up to 6 GHz. Consider the thermal resistance of the SOT-363 package for high-power dissipation scenarios compared to larger packages.

RF Diode Part Context

This component belongs to the HSMS-282x family of surface mount RF Schottky barrier diodes. The family provides various configurations including single, dual, and quad versions in SOT-23, SOT-143, SOT-323, and SOT-363 packages. The HSMS-2828 specifically utilizes the bridge quad arrangement to facilitate efficient mixer and detector designs.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include HSMS-282P (Bridge Quad) in SOT-363 or HSMS-2829 (Cross-over Quad) in SOT-143 if package size permits. Verify that the alternative part maintains the required bridge topology and electrical parameters such as breakdown voltage and capacitance.
