Additional Details

The MMVL3401 is available in a small surface mount package. Its electrical characteristics are optimized for low-voltage operation. It offers a good compromise between switching speed and power dissipation. The device's specifications include forward voltage, reverse voltage, and breakdown voltage. The typical operating temperature range is from -55°C to +150°C. Care should be taken during soldering to avoid overheating the device. The forward current is typically a few tens of milliamperes. The reverse recovery time is very short. The package is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly. The device is commonly used in applications where signal control and protection are critical.
