Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum power dissipation of this rectifier?
The Power Dissipation (P) specified is 6.25 W.
Can these components be used in life support devices?
No, Fairchild products require explicit written approval before use in critical life support systems.
What determines how much current can be handled at higher temperatures?
Current must follow the Forward Current Derating Curve (Figure 2) as ambient temperature increases.
What is the maximum repetitive reverse voltage for this series?
Maximum ratings range from 50V up to 1000V, depending on the specific device model.
