SB240-AP

Single Diodes Overview

The SB240-AP is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It utilizes silicon technology and features a single diode configuration housed in the DO-15 axial through-hole package. The device supports an average forward current of 2 A with a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 40 V. Key electrical characteristics include a low forward voltage drop of 450 mV at 2 A and a reverse leakage current of 100 uA. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier construction for high switching efficiency
• Low forward voltage drop to minimize power loss
• High surge current capability for robust operation

Single Diodes Applications

• DC-to-DC converters
• Power supply circuits
• Free-wheeling diodes
• Polarity protection applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AP against official MCC documentation to confirm packaging details, as standard variants may use different suffixes like BP. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the manufacturer datasheet before integration. Ensure the NRND status does not conflict with long-term production requirements for the target design.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-loss, fast-recovery rectifier is required in a through-hole assembly. The 40 V rating suits low-voltage DC systems. Compare thermal resistance and package size against PCB constraints. Verify that the 2 A continuous current rating meets the circuit's peak load demands without excessive heating.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the SB240L series of Schottky rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. It shares core electrical specifications with other variants in the family, such as the SB240-BP, differing primarily in packaging or ordering suffixes. The DO-15 package provides a standardized footprint for axial leaded mounting on printed circuit boards.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with SB240-BP for identical electrical performance in bulk packaging. Other manufacturers offering DO-15 2A 40V Schottky diodes may serve as functional substitutes if pinout and thermal characteristics match.
