SE30PAB-M3/I

Single Diodes Overview

The SE30PAB-M3/I is a general-purpose standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and an average forward rectified current of 3 A. The device utilizes the eSMP package, specifically DO-221BC (SMPA), for surface mount installation. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.35 V at 3 A and a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 600 V. The junction temperature range extends from -55°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes eSMP technology for enhanced performance in compact surface-mount applications
• Designed for high reliability with a wide operating junction temperature range up to 175°C
• Features low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses
• Compliant with RoHS directives and halogen-free standards

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in consumer electronics
• DC-DC converter output rectification
• Power supply input stages
• Freewheeling diode applications in inductive loads

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the official Vishay datasheet to ensure compatibility with design requirements. Confirm that the DO-221BC footprint matches the PCB layout specifications. Check for any recent updates to the product status or recommended replacement components before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust 600V standard recovery diode is required in a slim SMA flat package. The 3A current rating suits moderate power applications where space constraints preclude larger packages. Ensure the thermal management strategy accounts for the 175°C maximum junction temperature capability during operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's eSMP series of surface-mount rectifiers. The eSMP line focuses on providing high current density in small footprints, bridging the gap between traditional axial leads and larger SMD packages. It is designed for automated assembly processes common in modern electronics manufacturing.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay parts in the SE30PA series for pin-compatible alternatives if different voltage ratings are needed. Verify that any substitute maintains the same DO-221BC footprint and thermal characteristics.
