VISHAY Ultrafast Diode 1 kV 3 A DO-201AD

The VISHAY Ultrafast Diode 1 kV 3 A DO-201AD is a single-diode component with a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1 kV and an average forward current of 3 A, suited to applications that require fast switching and high voltage capability.

Overview

Part of the UF540 product range, this ultrafast diode has a reverse recovery time of 75 ns, which supports switching-focused circuits such as switch-mode power supplies and high-frequency rectifiers. It has a maximum forward voltage of 1.7 V, which helps to limit power losses and heat generation during operation. Its forward surge current rating of 150 A provides a margin against current spikes.

Construction

The diode uses a DO-201AD case style with 2 pins. Its compact dimensions of 3.3 x 1.5 x 4.3 (width x depth x height) allow it to fit a range of circuit board layouts. The diode has a maximum operating temperature of 150°C.
