RS2D-M3/5BT

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay RS2D-M3/5BT is a fast recovery rectifier diode from the RS2 series, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 200 V and a maximum continuous forward current of 1.5 A. The device utilizes an SMB (DO-214AA) package with two pins. Key electrical characteristics include a typical reverse recovery time of 150 ns and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast recovery performance suitable for high-frequency switching applications
• Plastic material molded over glass passivated junction
• Compliant with RoHS directive and halogen-free standards

Single Diodes Applications

• High frequency rectification in power supplies
• Free wheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Polarity protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /5BT against official datasheets to confirm tape and reel packaging specifications. Ensure the component matches the required RoHS compliance status for your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm that the SMB package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V rating and 1.5 A current capacity are required in a compact surface-mount form factor. Consider the 150 ns reverse recovery time for efficiency in high-speed switching environments. Compare thermal dissipation capabilities against similar SMB packages if operating near maximum temperature limits. Ensure the single diode configuration meets the circuit topology needs without requiring additional series or parallel arrangements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's RS2 series of fast recovery rectifiers, which are widely used in general-purpose rectification tasks. The series offers various voltage ratings and current options within the SMB package. The M3 suffix indicates lead-free construction and RoHS compliance, aligning with modern environmental regulations for electronic components manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other SMB packaged fast recovery diodes with matching 200 V and 1.5 A ratings, such as those from ON Semiconductor or Diodes Inc., provided pinout and thermal characteristics are compatible.
