RY2AV

Single Diodes Overview

The RY2AV is a general-purpose standard recovery diode manufactured by Sanken Electric USA Inc. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage of 600V and an average rectified current of 3A in an axial through-hole package. The device exhibits a fast recovery time of less than or equal to 500ns for currents greater than 200mA, with a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 50ns. Forward voltage is specified at 1.3V when conducting 2A. Reverse leakage current is limited to 10µA at the maximum rated voltage. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast recovery characteristics suitable for high-speed switching applications

• High voltage and current handling capabilities for general power conversion

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• High speed switching applications requiring fast recovery

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify part authenticity as the RY2AV is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Confirm availability from authorized distributors or surplus suppliers. Ensure the axial leaded package matches the target PCB footprint. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by specific assembly standards. Validate datasheet revisions to ensure parameter consistency with design requirements.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 600V blocking voltage and 3A continuous current capacity. The fast recovery specification makes it appropriate for frequencies where standard diodes would exhibit excessive losses. Consider thermal management due to the 1.3V forward drop at load. Ensure the axial package fits the mechanical constraints of the enclosure. Verify that the 50ns reverse recovery time meets the circuit's switching speed requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

The RY2AV belongs to Sanken's lineup of general-purpose axial diodes. It shares the standard recovery technology family with other Sanken axial components like the RL series. These devices are designed for robust performance in industrial and consumer electronics. The axial package provides mechanical stability for through-hole assembly processes commonly used in legacy and high-reliability designs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. As the component is obsolete, engineers must identify equivalent parts based on matching electrical parameters such as 600V rating, 3A current, and fast recovery specifications. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' fast recovery diodes offering similar axial packages.
