Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix TE-17 to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with UMD2 footprint requirements during PCB layout. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for absolute maximum ratings and thermal characteristics before finalizing procurement decisions to guarantee operational reliability under intended load conditions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is required alongside moderate current handling capabilities. The 30 V rating suits low-voltage DC systems, while the 200 mA forward current defines its load capacity. Consider the UMD2 package dimensions against available board space. Evaluate the fast switching speed benefits if high-frequency operation is necessary within the target application circuit constraints.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to ROHM's RB540VM series of Schottky barrier diodes, which are engineered for general-purpose rectification. The series emphasizes miniaturization through packages like UMD2, catering to modern electronics' demand for reduced component size. These diodes typically offer superior switching performance compared to standard PN junction diodes, addressing efficiency needs in portable and battery-powered devices.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 30 V reverse voltage, 200 mA forward current, and UMD2 package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values. Alternative parts from other manufacturers should be evaluated for equivalent forward voltage drop and reverse leakage current specifications to ensure seamless circuit integration without performance degradation.
