S3KHE3_A/I

Single Diodes Overview

The S3KHE3_A/I is a general-purpose single rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an 800 V maximum DC reverse voltage and a 3 A average forward rectified current capability. Housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, it is designed for high-reliability applications. The device meets AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability certified under AEC-Q101 standards
• High surge current handling capability for robust circuit protection
• Low forward voltage drop for improved energy efficiency
• Surface-mount construction for automated assembly integration

Single Diodes Applications

• Automotive electronics power supply circuits
• General-purpose rectification in industrial equipment
• DC-AC conversion stages in motor drives
• Battery charging systems requiring high reverse voltage tolerance

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A/I' matches the required packaging configuration, as variations may exist between reel and cut tape options. Confirm that the AEC-Q101 certification status aligns with your project's automotive quality requirements. Ensure the DO-214AB footprint compatibility is validated against your PCB layout specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V reverse voltage rating is necessary for high-voltage DC lines. The 3 A current capacity suits moderate-power applications where space constraints favor the SMC package over larger through-hole alternatives. Consider the thermal performance characteristics if operating near the upper limit of the specified junction temperature range.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's S3 series of standard recovery rectifiers, which are engineered for general-purpose switching and rectification tasks. The S3K variant specifically targets applications requiring higher voltage blocking capabilities compared to lower-rated siblings in the same family, maintaining consistent package dimensions for design flexibility.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for S3KHE3_A/I are not available in the provided documentation. Verify electrical equivalence, including peak repetitive reverse voltage and average forward current ratings, when evaluating alternative components from other manufacturers.
