RN731VTE-17

RF Diode Overview

The RN731VTE-17 is a single PIN diode manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor, designed for surface-mount applications in the UMD2 package (SOD-323FL/SC-90A). It features a reverse voltage of 50 V and a forward current rating of 50 mA. Key electrical parameters include a junction capacitance of 0.4 pF at 35 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency, with a forward resistance of 7 Ω at 10 mA forward current and 100 MHz. The device supports a maximum junction temperature of 125°C and operates within a storage temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific ordering suffixes that may affect packaging or tape specifications. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation matching the RN731VTE-17 part number to avoid counterfeit risks.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component when low junction capacitance and small physical footprint are required for RF signal paths. Compare forward resistance values against circuit requirements to ensure adequate signal handling at target frequencies. Verify thermal management capabilities align with the 125°C maximum junction temperature limit under expected operating conditions.

RF Diode Part Context

This part belongs to Rohm's RN731V series of PIN diodes, which are optimized for high-frequency performance. The TE-17 suffix indicates the specific taping quantity and packaging format used for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the SOD-323FL package and similar electrical parameters, specifically reverse voltage around 50 V and capacitance near 0.4 pF. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution.
