RS1K-E3/5AT

Single Diodes Overview

The RS1K-E3/5AT is a standard rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 800 V and an average forward rectified current (Io) of 1 A. The device utilizes the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 1.7 V at 1 A, a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 600 V, and a reverse recovery time (trr) of 75 ns. The junction operating temperature range extends from -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High voltage blocking capability up to 800 V for robust reverse bias performance
• Fast switching characteristics with a reverse recovery time of 75 ns
• Surface mount construction in a compact DO-214AC (SMA) package
• Wide thermal operating range supporting high-temperature environments

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Freewheeling diode applications in converters and inverters
• Protection circuits in consumer electronics
• Automotive electronic systems requiring reliable rectification

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout orientation and marking codes. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required voltage rating variant within the RS1 series. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging type requirements directly with the supplier documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V reverse voltage rating is required for 1 A rectification tasks. Compare the 75 ns reverse recovery time against circuit switching frequency requirements to ensure minimal switching losses. Verify that the DO-214AC footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints and thermal management design specifications for the target application.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the RS1 series of fast recovery rectifiers from Vishay. It shares the same SMA package and 1 A current rating as variants like RS1J and RS1M, differing primarily in their peak inverse voltage ratings. The E3 suffix indicates lead-free termination compliant with environmental standards.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include RS1J-E3/5AT (600 V) or RS1M-E3/5AT (1000 V), provided the voltage margin allows. Ensure any replacement maintains the 1 A current rating and compatible DO-214AC package dimensions.
