S5M-E3/57T

Single Diodes Overview

The S5M-E3/57T is a silicon rectifier diode from Vishay General Semiconductor, designed for surface-mount applications in the DO-214AA (SMA) package. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 5 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. The device exhibits a standard recovery time of 2.5 μs with a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.15 V at rated current. It supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 100 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High thermal stability with an extended operating junction temperature range up to 150°C
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency in power conversion circuits
• Robust surge current handling capability for transient protection
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose rectification

Single Diodes Applications
