RGL41GHE3/96

Single Diodes Overview

The RGL41GHE3/96 is a fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a single diode configuration housed in a DO-213AB (SMB) surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and a continuous forward current of 1 A. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.3 V, a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 30 A, and a typical reverse current of 5 uA. The component exhibits a peak reverse recovery time of 50 ns and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast recovery performance with a 50 ns reverse recovery time for efficient switching applications
• High thermal stability supporting operation up to a junction temperature of +175 °C
• Glass-passated silicon construction providing robust reliability and low leakage current
• Surface-mount DO-213AB packaging designed for automated assembly processes

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converter circuits
• Freewheeling diodes in power supply designs
• Inverter and rectifier bridge configurations
• General-purpose high-speed switching applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix HE3 against official Vishay documentation to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance details. Confirm the DO-213AB package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Check for automotive qualification status if the application demands AEC-Q100 certification, as standard variants may differ. Ensure ordering quantities align with manufacturer reel specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V reverse voltage rating and 1 A forward current capacity are required. The 50 ns recovery time makes it suitable for higher frequency operations compared to standard recovery diodes. Consider the DO-213AB package size for space-constrained surface-mount designs. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 175 °C maximum junction temperature capability.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay RGL41 series of glass-passivated fast recovery rectifiers. These devices utilize silicon planar technology optimized for high-speed switching. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package form factors. They are engineered for reliability in demanding power electronics environments.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult Vishay datasheets for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the RGL41 series with different voltage ratings. Verify that any substitute maintains the 50 ns recovery time and 1 A current rating. Cross-reference package dimensions to ensure mechanical fit.
