RURDG1580

Single Diodes Overview

The RURDG1580 is a single-phase, silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Harris Corporation. It features an avalanche capability and is housed in a TO-251 (DPAK) package with two pins. The device supports a maximum average forward output current of 6A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150V. It exhibits a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 60A and a maximum forward voltage of 1V. The junction temperature range spans from -65°C to +175°C, with the cathode connected to the case.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Avalanche rated for energy absorption
• Ultra-fast soft recovery characteristic
• Planar silicon nitride passivated construction

Single Diodes Applications

• Free wheeling diode circuits
• High-speed switching applications
• General purpose rectification

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin as Harris Corporation, noting its subsequent merger into L3Harris Technologies. Confirm the specific suffix 'DG' aligns with the required packaging or tape-and-reel configuration if applicable. Ensure the component meets the specified RoHS status, which is listed as non-compliant in available records. Cross-reference the TO-251 package dimensions and pinout against the official datasheet to prevent mounting errors during assembly.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6A continuous current rating and 150V blocking voltage are required in a surface-mount DPAK form factor. The avalanche rating makes it suitable for inductive load switching where transient energy absorption is necessary. Consider the +175°C junction temperature capability for high-temperature environments. Verify that the soft recovery characteristics meet the electromagnetic interference requirements of the target circuit design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the RURD series of ultrafast soft recovery rectifiers produced by Harris Corporation. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings and current capacities, such as the RURD615. Harris Corporation specialized in semiconductor solutions before merging with L3 Technologies. These diodes utilize ion-implanted epitaxial construction for improved performance and reliability compared to standard rectifiers.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include other RURD series parts with matching electrical ratings. Check for equivalent devices from Intersil or Fairchild Semiconductor, such as the MUR series, ensuring identical current, voltage, and package specifications. Verify that any replacement maintains the avalanche energy rating and soft recovery characteristics required by the original design.
