Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging orientation. The TRL suffix indicates left-oriented tape and reel packaging containing 800 units per 13-inch diameter plastic reel. Confirm RoHS compliance and halogen-free status as indicated by the M3 designation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses in parallel configurations. Ensure thermal management accommodates the specified maximum junction temperature of 125 °C. Verify that the 15 V reverse voltage rating aligns with the system's peak operating voltages and transient conditions.
