DESCRIPTION
This “fast recovery” rectifier diode series is military qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/424 and is ideal for high-reliability applications where a failure cannot be tolerated. These industry-recognized 3.0 Amp rated rectifiers for working peak reverse voltages from 100 to 600 volts are hermetically sealed with voidless-glass construction using an internal “Category I” metallurgical bond. These devices are also available in surface mount MELF package configurations by adding a “US” suffix. Microsemi also offers numerous other rectifier products to meet higher and lower current ratings with various recovery time speed requirements including fast and ultrafast device types in both through-hole and surface mount packages.
