• Low forward voltage drop
• High surge current capability
• Glass passivated junction
• RoHS compliant
• Molded plastic case

Benefits

• Increased efficiency in high-frequency circuits due to fast recovery time.
• Reduced power dissipation due to low forward voltage drop.
• Enhanced reliability and protection against transient voltage spikes.
• Stable performance due to glass-passivated junction.
• Environmentally friendly due to RoHS compliance.

Additional Details

The RGP10D-E3/23 has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 200V and a maximum average forward rectified current (IF(AV)) of 1.0A. The reverse recovery time (trr) is typically 500 ns. The forward voltage drop (VF) is typically 1.0V at 1.0A. The surge current capability (IFSM) is 30A. The operating junction temperature range is -65°C to +150°C. It is encapsulated in a molded plastic case with axial leads. The fast recovery time reduces switching losses, making it more efficient than standard rectifier diodes in high-frequency applications. The high surge current capability provides added protection against voltage transients. Its glass-passivated junction contributes to its robust and reliable performance.
