L5206FR

RF Diode Overview

The L5206FR is a silicon PIN diode from the CEL Litec series, designed for RF applications. It features a reverse voltage of 180 V and a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW. The device operates in an SOD-523F-2 surface-mount package with a single configuration. Key electrical parameters include a maximum diode capacitance of 220 fF, a maximum series resistance of 1.5 Ohms at maximum IF, and a forward current rating of 50 mA. The forward voltage is specified at 1 V, while the reverse current is limited to 10 uA. The component supports a maximum operating temperature of +150 C.

RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify end-of-life status carefully as discontinuation notifications may apply. Confirm RoHS compliance details through official datasheets before integration. Check regional availability restrictions as distribution channels may vary. Validate package markings against the SOD-523F-2 specification to ensure authenticity.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-capacitance PIN diode is required for high-frequency RF paths. Ensure the 180 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the peak inverse voltage in the circuit. Verify that the 300 mW power dissipation capability aligns with the thermal management design. Consider the SOD-523F-2 footprint constraints during PCB layout.

RF Diode Part Context

The L5206FR belongs to the CEL Litec family of PIN diodes, which are optimized for radio frequency applications. This specific part number denotes the tape-and-reel variant of the L5206F, sharing identical electrical characteristics but differing in packaging format for automated assembly processes.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with other 180V PIN diodes in SOD-523F packages only if electrical parameters match exactly.
