S310

Single Diodes Overview

The S310 is a Schottky rectifier manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. It features a single diode configuration with a maximum average forward rectified current of 3A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100V. The device utilizes metal-to-silicon construction for majority carrier conduction, resulting in low forward voltage drop characteristics suitable for high-efficiency applications.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component status as official documentation indicates this part may be obsolete or discontinued by Fairchild Semiconductor. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Ensure datasheet revisions match specific manufacturing batches to guarantee parameter consistency during integration.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3A current rating and 100V blocking voltage are required in a compact SMC footprint. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the package's power dissipation capabilities. Consider alternative active components if lower forward voltage or higher surge current ratings are necessary for the specific circuit topology.

Single Diodes Part Context

The S310 belongs to the Schottky Rectifiers family from Fairchild Semiconductor, designed for efficient AC-to-DC conversion and signal demodulation. It complements other devices in the series offering varying current and voltage ratings within the same DO-214AB form factor, allowing designers to standardize packaging across different power stages.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Engineers should consult manufacturer cross-reference guides or equivalent specifications from other vendors for compatible replacements.
