Frequently Asked Questions
What is the absolute maximum repetitive reverse voltage rating for these diodes?
The ratings vary by model: 1N4933 is 50V, 1N4937 is 600V.
Under what conditions are the specified electrical ratings provided?
All listed values (e.g., Forward Voltage, Current) are based on an ambient temperature of T = 25°C unless noted otherwise.
Are these components suitable for life support applications?
No, Fairchild's products are not authorized for use as critical components in life support devices or systems without express written approval.
How does the diode handle high current surges?
The non-repetitive peak forward surge current (FSM) rating varies across models, with 1N4937 rated at 30A for 8.3 ms.
