SB2G-M3/5BT

Single Diodes Overview

The SB2G-M3/5BT is a standard rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 2A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V. The component utilizes a DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package. It belongs to the SB2 series, designed for general-purpose rectification applications requiring reliable performance in compact electronic circuits.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Surface-mount construction in a DO-214AA package for automated assembly
• High surge current capability for transient protection
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in power supplies
• Reverse polarity protection circuits
• DC-DC converter output stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix /5BT to ensure correct tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the 400V rating aligns with the specific circuit requirements. Check for RoHS compliance markings consistent with the M3 suffix designation. Ensure storage conditions adhere to manufacturer guidelines for moisture-sensitive devices prior to soldering.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2A current rating and 400V blocking voltage are required in a SMB package. Compare forward voltage characteristics against alternative Schottky or fast recovery diodes if switching speed is critical. Ensure the thermal management design supports the junction temperature limits specified in the official datasheet for continuous operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device is part of Vishay's SB2 series of standard rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings from 20V to 1000V while maintaining a consistent 2A current capacity. The M3 suffix indicates lead-free termination and halogen-free molding compound, adhering to modern environmental standards for electronic components.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include SB2G-E3/5BT and SB2G-M3/52T from the same manufacturer. Cross-brand replacements must match the 2A current, 400V voltage, and DO-214AA footprint. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
