RGP30B-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The RGP30B-E3/73 is a general-purpose fast recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 3.0 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device utilizes a fast recovery time of 150 ns, making it suitable for high-frequency switching applications. It is housed in a DO-201AD (DO-41) axial leaded package designed for through-hole mounting. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C and complies with RoHS 3 standards.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast recovery characteristics with a typical reverse recovery time of 150 ns
• High thermal stability supporting operation up to 175°C junction temperature
• Robust surge current capability for handling transient overloads

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• DC-to-DC converter output stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3/73 to confirm RoHS 3 compliance and tape-and-reel packaging format. Confirm the manufacturer as Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division to ensure authenticity. Check for obsolescence status as distribution data may vary. Ensure the DO-201AD package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V blocking voltage and 3 A continuous current rating are required. The 150 ns recovery time distinguishes it from standard rectifiers, offering improved efficiency in higher frequency applications. Consider the axial leaded package constraints for mechanical integration. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 175°C maximum junction temperature limit.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the RGP series of fast recovery rectifiers from Vishay. It shares the DO-201AD package form factor with other devices in the family but is distinguished by its specific 100 V voltage rating and 3.0 A current capacity. The series is designed for general-purpose switching applications requiring reliable fast recovery performance.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 100 V, 3 A fast recovery diodes in the DO-201AD package such as the FR302 or UF4003 equivalents. Verify that replacement parts meet the same 150 ns reverse recovery time specification and 175°C thermal rating to maintain circuit performance integrity.
