Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official Vishay documentation, as packaging or material variations may exist. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors. Ensure the sourcing channel provides valid traceability for this specific part number before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V rated standard recovery diode is required in an SMB package. Compare leakage current and forward voltage specifications against alternative SMB-sized diodes to ensure compatibility with thermal and efficiency constraints. Validate that the 1.4 A current rating meets the continuous load requirements of the target application.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the S3M series of surface-mount rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings in the DO-214AA footprint. The S3BM variant specifically denotes the 1000 V version within this standardized product line, designed for reliable performance in space-constrained designs requiring high reverse voltage blocking.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations
