RS3D-E3/9AT

Single Diodes Overview

The RS3D-E3/9AT is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 200 V and an average rectified forward current (Io) of 3 A per diode. The device utilizes surface mount technology in a DO-214AB (SMC) package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 1.3 V at 2.5 A, a reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 200 V, and a reverse recovery time (trr) of 150 ns. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Vishay documentation to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and manufacturing origin details prior to procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and current production status. Ensure storage conditions align with moisture sensitivity level requirements specified in the datasheet.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V blocking capability and 3 A continuous current rating are required in a compact SMC package. Consider the 150 ns reverse recovery time for frequency compatibility. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 1.3 V forward voltage drop at rated current. Compare against alternative packages if board space constraints differ from DO-214AB dimensions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the RS3 series of surface mount rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent mechanical footprints. The E3 suffix typically denotes lead-free and halogen-free construction compliant with international environmental standards. This family targets high-volume consumer and industrial electronics requiring reliable standard recovery performance.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 200 V, 3 A, DO-214AB specification. Verify equivalent reverse recovery times and forward voltage characteristics. Check for identical pinout and thermal resistance values. Consult Vishay's official substitution guide for validated cross-references.
