Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant when sourcing, as availability may vary by distributor. Confirm compliance with current environmental directives such as RoHS and REACH requirements before integration. Ensure the component meets the required operating temperature range for your specific application environment. Cross-reference datasheet parameters against design specifications to validate performance margins.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact surface-mount rectifier with high thermal stability. The DO-213AB package suits space-constrained designs needing robust mechanical performance. Consider the 1 A current rating and 200 V blocking capability for general power conversion tasks. Evaluate the low leakage and fast recovery characteristics if used in high-frequency switching environments.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's GL41 series of surface-mount glass-passivated junction rectifiers. The series utilizes Superectifier technology to enhance reliability compared to standard planar junctions. These components are widely used in consumer electronics and industrial equipment where small form factors and high surge capability are required. The DO-213AB package is a standard MELF-style footprint suitable for automated pick-and-place machinery.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives within the same family include RGL41A-E3/97 (50 V), RGL41B-E3/97 (100 V), and RGL41C-E3/97 (200 V). For higher voltage ratings, consider RGL41E-E3/97 (400 V) or RGL41F-E3/97 (600 V). Ensure the replacement maintains the same DO-213AB package and Superectifier construction for equivalent mechanical and thermal performance.
