SE40PG-M3/87A

Single Diodes Overview

The SE40PG-M3/87A is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 400 V and an average rectified current (Io) of 2.4 A. The forward voltage (Vf) is specified at 1.05 V when tested at 4 A. This component utilizes the TO-277A package, also known as SMPC, for surface mount installation. It belongs to the S4Px series and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable standard recovery characteristics.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Standard recovery rectifier technology for general-purpose switching applications
• Surface mount construction in a compact TO-277A (SMPC) package
• Dual anode configuration allowing common cathode operation

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• DC-DC converter output stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /87A corresponds to reel packaging requirements during procurement. Confirm that the dual anode configuration matches the circuit topology. Ensure the TO-277A footprint compatibility with the PCB design. Validate RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component where a 400 V reverse voltage rating and 2.4 A continuous current capacity are required. The standard recovery speed suits lower frequency applications compared to fast recovery alternatives. Consider the thermal performance of the TO-277A package for heat dissipation needs in the target environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the S4Px series of rectifiers from Vishay. It shares the same package style as other variants like SE40PD-M3/87A but differs in voltage ratings. The series offers various voltage options for different power supply designs while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

SE40PD-M3/87A is a related variant within the same series offering similar current ratings but potentially different voltage specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution.
