RGL41B-E3/96

Single Diodes Overview

The RGL41B-E3/96 is a surface-mount glass-passivated junction rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a single diode configuration in a DO-213AB (MELF) package with two pins. Key electrical parameters include a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device exhibits a peak non-repetitive forward surge current capability of 30 A and a typical peak reverse recovery time of 150 ns. Operating temperatures range from -65°C to +175°C junction temperature.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction structure provides high reliability under demanding conditions.
• Superectifier design ensures low forward voltage drop and minimal leakage current.
• High forward surge capability supports robust performance during transient events.
• Automated placement compatible due to standardized MELF packaging.

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in surface-mount power supplies
• Free-wheeling diode applications in switching circuits
• Protection circuits requiring fast recovery characteristics

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3/96 against official Vishay documentation to confirm RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors or the manufacturer to guarantee authenticity. Cross-reference the full part number with the latest datasheet revision to confirm availability status and any potential obsolescence notices before finalizing orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact, high-reliability rectifier with fast recovery times. The 100 V rating suits low-voltage DC-DC converters and adapter circuits. Consider the 1 A current limit and thermal management requirements for the DO-213AB package when designing PCB layouts. Verify that the 150 ns recovery time meets the switching frequency requirements of the target application without excessive reverse recovery charge losses.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the RGL41 series of surface-mount rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 20 V to 800 V within the same DO-213AB footprint. The RGL41B variant specifically targets 100 V applications, providing a standardized solution for designers needing consistent mechanical dimensions across different voltage levels in a product line.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Vishay parts from the same RGL41 family with matching voltage and current ratings, such as RGL41A or RGL41C, provided the voltage rating aligns with circuit requirements. External manufacturers offering equivalent DO-213AB fast recovery rectifiers with 1 A and 100 V specifications should be evaluated for pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence.
