S2A

Single Diodes Overview

The S2A is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a glass-passivated junction chip and is housed in an SMB (DO-214AA) package. The device supports a continuous forward current of 2 A and offers a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.15 V at rated current, a reverse leakage current of 1 uA, and a typical recovery time of 2 us. It withstands a surge current of 50 A and operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +150 C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction chip ensures reliable performance under various conditions.
• Designed specifically for surface-mounted applications with easy pick-and-place compatibility.
• Capable of handling high surge currents for robust circuit protection.

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in surface-mount circuits
• Power supply input stages
• Battery charging circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation on the component marking to confirm it originates from Diodes Incorporated rather than other vendors like onsemi who also produce parts with similar designations. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel or cut tape specifications. Cross-reference the specific datasheet revision to confirm compliance with current RoHS and REACH standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V rating and 2 A continuous current are required in an SMB package. Compare its 2 us recovery time against faster alternatives if high-frequency switching is involved. Verify that the 1.15 V forward voltage drop aligns with thermal management requirements. Confirm package dimensions match the PCB footprint design constraints.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the family of surface mount rectifiers utilizing glass passivation technology. It serves as a discrete semiconductor solution for converting alternating current to direct current in compact electronic designs. The SMB package provides a balance between current handling capability and board space efficiency compared to larger through-hole options.
