RS3MC

Single Diodes Overview

The MDD RS3MC is a surface-mount fast recovery rectifier in the SMC (DO-214AB) package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000V and an average forward rectified current of 3.0A at 90°C case temperature. The device exhibits a peak forward surge current capability of 100A, an instantaneous forward voltage of 1.30V at 3.0A, and a reverse recovery time of 500ns. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for reliable operation
• High forward surge current capability
• Low reverse leakage characteristics
• Open junction chip design

Single Diodes Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting
• General purpose rectification
• Fast switching applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the original MDD RS3MC specification sheet. Confirm the SMC/DO-214AB package dimensions and polarity marking orientation. Ensure the reverse voltage rating of 1000V and forward current of 3.0A meet the circuit requirements. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by the assembly process.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-voltage fast recovery rectifier is needed in a compact surface-mount format. The 1000V rating suits high-side rectification or flyback diode applications. The 500ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for moderate-frequency switching circuits where standard rectifiers would exhibit excessive losses.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the SMD Fast Recovery Rectifier SMC series. It utilizes a molded plastic body with solder-plated terminals. The part is designed for automated placement on printed circuit boards. The glass passivation protects the silicon junction against mechanical stresses and environmental factors during operation.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers include SMCRS3AC00S305 through SMCRS3KC00S380 within the same series for different voltage ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
