RGF1MHE3_A/I

Single Diodes Overview

The RGF1MHE3_A/I is a fast recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and an average forward current rating of 1 A. The device utilizes the SUPERECTIFIER design for enhanced reliability in surface mount applications. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.3 V at 1 A, a reverse leakage current of 5 µA, and a typical reverse recovery time of 500 ns. It supports a surge current of 30 A and operates within a junction temperature range up to 175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• SUPERECTIFIER design provides high reliability for surface mount components
• Fast recovery characteristics suitable for general purpose switching applications
• High thermal stability with a maximum junction temperature of 175°C

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Free-wheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Protection circuits requiring fast recovery performance

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (A/I) against official Vishay documentation to confirm package and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives if required by your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference datasheet parameters such as reverse recovery time and forward voltage drop with your circuit requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V rated, 1 A surface mount rectifier with fast recovery characteristics is needed. The DO-214BA (SMA) package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider the 500 ns reverse recovery time for switching frequency limitations and ensure thermal management supports the 175°C junction temperature rating during operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's SUPERECTIFIER family, which combines the reliability of through-hole technology with the convenience of surface mount packaging. The RGF1M series is designed for general purpose rectification applications where standard recovery times are insufficient but ultra-fast speeds are not required.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the RGF1M series or equivalent DO-214BA packages from other manufacturers. Verify that replacement parts match the 1000 V reverse voltage, 1 A current rating, and 500 ns recovery time specifications.
