Additional Details

The S1A-T is typically available in a SMA (DO-214AC) package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 50V, an average forward current (IF(AV)) of 1.0A, and a typical forward voltage (VF) of approximately 0.45V at 1.0A. The operating junction temperature range extends from -65°C to +125°C. Proper thermal management is important in high-current applications to ensure optimal performance and reliability. This device is commonly used in applications where efficiency and speed are critical design factors. The compact size of the SMA package allows for use in densely populated circuit boards.
