P1Z00A/P1Z00G Standard Recovery Rectifier Diodes by Diotec Semiconductor

Category: Diodes, Diotec Semiconductor, Electronics

The P1Z00A and P1Z00G series are standard recovery rectifier diodes developed by Diotec Semiconductor. These diodes are designed for applications such as mains rectification (50/60 Hz), power supplies, and polarity protection. They are offered in a commercial grade as well as an AEC-Q101 compliant version (-Q) and a version that is in AEC-Q101 qualification (-AQ).

Key Features

The datasheet highlights several key features of the P1Z00A and P1Z00G diodes. One significant characteristic is their low forward voltage drop of 0.95V, which is beneficial for efficiency. They also feature a package that is smaller than the industry standard, which can be advantageous in compact circuit designs. Furthermore, they offer a high forward surge current capability of up to 400/450 A (IFSM), providing robust performance during transient conditions. These diodes are compatible with environmental standards; specifically, they are RoHS compliant (with exemptions applying) and adhere to REACH and Conflict Minerals regulations.

Mechanical and Thermal Data

Diotec provides a SPICE Model & STEP File for simulation and design purposes, and the diodes are supplied taped in ammo packs. The diodes’ weight is approximately 1.3 g, and the case material is UL 94V-0 rated. For soldering and assembly, the conditions are specified at 260°C for 10 seconds.

Electrical Characteristics

Important electrical characteristics are detailed beneath the ‘Maximum ratings’ section. The diodes can handle a surge peak reverse voltage (VRSM) ranging from 50 to 400 V and a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) with the same range. The average forward rectified current (IFAV) is rated at 12 A at an ambient temperature of 50°C. Further, the repetitive peak forward current (IFRM) is 80 A, while the peak forward surge current (IFSM) can reach 450 A under specific conditions. Additionally, these diodes can operate at junction temperatures (Tj) ranging from -50°C to +175°C, and they have a storage temperature range (Ts) of -50°C to +150°C.

Additional Information

The datasheet confirms that the ratings are valid if the leads are maintained at ambient temperature, 10 mm from the case. It also directs users to Diotec Semiconductor’s website for more detailed information and to refer to the data book’s beginning for operational guidelines.

Optimization for Search Engine Visibility

This summary is optimized for search engines by including specific model numbers (P1Z00A/P1Z00G), technical specifications like ‘low forward voltage drop,’ ‘high forward surge current,’ and standards compliance (‘RoHS’, ‘REACH’, ‘Conflict Minerals’). Phrases like ‘standard recovery rectifier diodes’ and ‘Diotec Semiconductor’ are repeated to improve the relevance for related searches. It also contains the exact conditions and capabilities of the diodes, which are common search points for engineers and buyers in the electronics industry.
