RFN5BM6STL

Single Diodes Overview

The RFN5BM6STL is a single super fast recovery rectifier diode manufactured by ROHM Semiconductor. It features a TO-252-3 (D-Pak) surface-mount package with three terminals. The device supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V and an average forward rectified current of 5 A. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.55 V at 5 A, a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 uA at 600 V, and a typical reverse recovery time of 50 ns. The component withstands a maximum surge current of 30 A and operates within a junction temperature range up to +150 C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'STL' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets as requirements may vary by region. Check for end-of-life notices or obsolescence warnings before finalizing procurement plans. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow soldering profiles for the TO-252 package.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fast switching speeds and high voltage tolerance in a compact surface-mount form factor. Compare the 50 ns recovery time against system switching frequencies to ensure adequate performance. Evaluate the 1.55 V forward voltage drop against thermal management constraints at the expected load current of 5 A.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to ROHM's RFN series of super fast recovery diodes designed for general-purpose rectification. It utilizes silicon planar technology for reliability. The TO-252-3 package provides efficient heat dissipation compared to smaller packages while maintaining a small footprint suitable for automated assembly processes in modern electronic manufacturing.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official ROHM documentation for direct pin-compatible replacements if this part becomes obsolete. Verify that any substitute maintains the 600 V rating, 5 A current capacity, and similar reverse recovery time specifications to ensure circuit integrity without redesign.
