RURDG1520

Single Diodes Overview

The RURDG1520 is an ultrafast recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Harris Corporation. It belongs to the MUR series of ultrafast recovery rectifiers, designed for high-speed switching applications. The component features a single diode configuration with ultrafast reverse recovery characteristics, making it suitable for power supplies and freewheeling applications where low reverse recovery charge is critical.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Ultrafast recovery time for efficient high-frequency switching
• Low reverse recovery charge to minimize switching losses
• High surge current capability for robust operation

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Freewheeling diodes in switch-mode power supplies
• Inverter circuits requiring fast recovery

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer source carefully as Harris Corporation's semiconductor assets were acquired by ON Semiconductor. Ensure the part number suffix matches the specific package type (e.g., TO-252) required for your design. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation from the current rights holder or authorized distributors.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when ultrafast recovery is necessary to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve efficiency in high-frequency circuits. Compare reverse recovery time and forward voltage drop against similar ultrafast diodes from other manufacturers to ensure compatibility with thermal and electrical constraints of the target application.

Single Diodes Part Context

The RURDG1520 is part of the MUR series of ultrafast recovery rectifiers originally produced by Harris Semiconductor. This series is known for its high reliability and performance in demanding power electronics environments. The product line has transitioned ownership, so technical support and datasheets may now be managed by ON Semiconductor.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalents such as MUR1520 from other manufacturers. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution. Ensure that the replacement diode meets or exceeds the original's reverse voltage and current ratings.
