Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact manufacturing specifications. Ensure that the ordering information matches the required package type and electrical ratings for the intended design. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high-voltage blocking capabilities combined with low forward voltage characteristics. The 1.2 kV rating makes it suitable for medium-voltage applications where standard silicon diodes may fail. Consider the DO-221AC-2 package constraints for thermal management and PCB space allocation during the layout phase.

Part Context

This device belongs to the eSMP series of silicon carbide Schottky diodes from Vishay.
