MA3X028WAL

Single Diodes Overview

The MA3X028WAL is a silicon epitaxial planar varistor from the Panasonic MA3X028 Series, designed for reduced voltage and temperature compensation. It features an extremely small reverse current of 1.0 µA at 6 V reverse voltage and a wide forward voltage range. The device operates within a junction temperature of up to 125 °C and a storage range of -55 to +125 °C. It utilizes the EIAJ SC-59 Mini3-G1 package with a power dissipation rating of 150 mW.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., WA, WB) against the datasheet to confirm the exact forward voltage characteristics required for the design. Confirm the latest lifecycle status via official channels as products may transition through maintenance or discontinuation phases. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives applicable to the manufacturing batch.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required forward voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient. The MA3X028WA variant offers a specific forward voltage profile suitable for precise compensation needs. Consider the SC-59 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints and ensure the operating current remains within the absolute maximum ratings to prevent thermal failure.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the MA3X028 Series, which includes variants like MA3X0280, MA3X028W, and MA3X028T. These are silicon epitaxial planar devices intended for standard applications such as office equipment, communications gear, and measuring instruments. They are not recommended for aerospace, automotive safety, or life support systems without special qualification.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official documentation for direct substitutes. Cross-referencing requires matching the silicon epitaxial planar construction, SC-59 package, and specific electrical parameters like reverse voltage and forward voltage ranges.
