UG8GT-E3/45

Single Diodes Overview

The UG8GT-E3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a peak reverse voltage of 400 V and an average rectified current of 8 A. The device utilizes a standard diode technology with a forward voltage of 1 V at 8 A and a maximum surge current of 200 A. Operating within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, it is housed in a TO-220AC package with solder pin termination.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction for enhanced stability
• High surge current capability for robust operation
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• DC output stages in battery chargers
• Inverter circuits requiring high current handling

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3/45 against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status. Ensure the TO-220AC package dimensions match your thermal management design. Confirm availability as part status may change; consult official distribution channels for current stock levels and ordering information.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole bridge rectifier with 8 A continuous current and 400 V blocking voltage is required. The TO-220AC package facilitates effective heat dissipation compared to smaller surface-mount alternatives. Consider the 200 A surge rating for applications with high inrush currents during startup phases.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the UG series of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities.
