Additional Details

The RS3KF has a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600V and a forward current (IF) rating of 3A. The surge current (IFSM) is typically around 100A. The forward voltage drop (VF) is typically around 1.0V at a forward current of 3A. The reverse leakage current (IR) is typically less than 5μA at VRRM. The operating and storage temperature range is -55°C to +150°C. The device is typically packaged in a DO-214AB (SMC) package. Careful consideration should be given to heat sinking to maintain the junction temperature within its limits, especially at higher forward currents and ambient temperatures.
