S2KA R3G

Single Diodes Overview

The S2KA R3G is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features a 1.5 A average forward current and a 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage. The device utilizes a DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V, a reverse leakage current of 5 uA, and a typical reverse recovery time of 1.5 us. It supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for enhanced environmental stability
• Low forward voltage drop to minimize power loss
• High current capability with robust surge handling
• Plastic material rated UL 94V-0 for flame retardancy

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in surface mount circuits
• DC/DC converter input stages
• Power supply output rectification

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R3G' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your assembly process. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 821-S2KAR3G or equivalent distributor identifiers to validate authenticity and sourcing channels before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-voltage standard recovery diode is required in an SMA package. It is suitable for applications prioritizing cost-effectiveness over high-frequency switching performance. Consider thermal management constraints due to the small surface-mount footprint. Verify that the 1.5 A current rating aligns with the circuit's continuous load requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the S2A through S2M series of surface mount rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. These devices are designed for automated placement and offer a compact alternative to through-hole rectifiers. The series provides various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics for design flexibility.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1.5 A, 1000 V SMA rectifiers such as the 1N5822 equivalent in SMA package or parts from the same family like S2KA. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure replacement components meet the same reverse recovery time and forward voltage specifications.
