Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging type, as the BP designation indicates bulk packaging. Ensure compliance requirements such as RoHS are confirmed against the latest datasheet revision. Check for authorized distributor status to guarantee genuine parts and full traceability. Confirm halogen-free availability if required by adding the HF suffix. Validate that the component is suitable for the intended thermal environment.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1200V rating is required for ultra-fast recovery applications. Consider the DO-41 package size for through-hole mounting constraints. Evaluate the 150ns reverse recovery time against circuit switching frequencies. Assess the thermal resistance and derating curves for heat dissipation needs. Compare leakage current specifications at elevated temperatures for critical low-power designs.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the UF40xxGP series of ultra-fast recovery rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. It shares similar electrical characteristics with other members of the family but differs in voltage ratings. The GP suffix typically denotes glass passivation. The BP suffix specifies bulk packaging. This series is designed for general purpose high-speed rectification tasks.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 1A current, 1200V voltage, and ultra-fast recovery specifications. Verify pinout compatibility for DO-41 packages. Ensure equivalent reverse recovery time and leakage current limits. Check for identical thermal resistance values. Confirm that alternative manufacturers offer the same glass passivation technology.
