S8M

Single Diodes Overview

The S8M is a standard recovery surface-mount rectifier diode manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It features an 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 1000 V surge peak reverse voltage rating. The device supports an average forward rectified current of 8 A at 100°C or 10 A at 75°C, with a maximum forward voltage drop of less than 1.1 V at 10 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to +150°C and utilizes the SMC (DO-214AB) package.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop for efficient power conversion
• High forward surge current capability for robust protection
• Compliant with RoHS directives and REACH regulations

Single Diodes Applications

• 50/60 Hz mains rectification
• General-purpose power supplies
• Circuit polarity protection

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. Standard versions are commercial grade, while suffixes such as -Q indicate AEC-Q101 compliance and -AQ indicates AEC-Q101 qualification. Confirm that the required reliability level matches the selected variant before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select the S8M for applications requiring high current handling in a compact SMC package. Ensure the operating ambient temperature allows for the specified derating of the average forward current. Verify that the circuit's reverse voltage transients remain below the 1000 V surge rating to prevent device failure.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the S8A through S8M series of standard recovery rectifiers from Diotec Semiconductor. The series covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing common mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics. The S8M specifically addresses the 800 V segment of this product family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

S8K is a verified substitute part number within the same series offering identical electrical ratings.
