RP 3FV3

Single Diodes Overview

The RP 3FV3 is a general-purpose axial lead diode manufactured by Sanken Electric USA Inc. It features a standard recovery characteristic suitable for various rectification applications. The device is rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1500 V and an average forward rectified current of 2 A. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes an axial package configuration. The component operates within a standard temperature range typical for general-purpose silicon diodes.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High voltage blocking capability up to 1500 V
• Robust 2 A average forward current rating
• Standard recovery time for general switching applications
• Axial through-hole package for reliable PCB mounting

Single Diodes Applications

• High voltage power supply rectification
• Flyback diode protection in inductive loads
• General purpose rectifier circuits
• Display damper diode applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number spelling including spacing and suffixes when sourcing. Confirm the manufacturer is Sanken Electric USA Inc. or authorized distributor. Check datasheet revisions for any updates on mechanical dimensions or electrical limits. Ensure the axial leaded package matches your board layout requirements before ordering.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when high reverse voltage isolation is required alongside moderate current handling. The standard recovery profile makes it suitable for lower frequency switching compared to ultra-fast variants. Consider the axial form factor for manual assembly or specific through-hole constraints where surface mount options are unsuitable.

Single Diodes Part Context

This diode belongs to Sanken's general-purpose rectifier lineup. It complements other axial diodes like the RP3 series designed for display damper functions. The RP 3FV3 specifically targets applications needing robust voltage withstand capabilities in a traditional through-hole format, distinct from their integrated controller or transistor offerings.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1500 V reverse voltage and 2 A forward current ratings. Verify that replacement diodes share the same axial package style and standard recovery characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility without redesigning the footprint or thermal management.
