Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code on the datasheet to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging variations. Ensure the procurement specification matches the required TO-204AA lead form factor. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical data may vary by production batch. Validate that the supplier provides original manufacturer documentation for quality assurance.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 A current rating and 400 V blocking voltage are required in a TO-3 package. Consider the 1.4 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations. Evaluate the 200 ns reverse recovery time against switching frequency requirements. Compare against higher speed alternatives if lower switching losses are critical for the specific application design.
