Vishay Silicon Junction Switching Diode, Single, 0.5 A, 400 V, 2-Pin Surface Mount DO-213AA EGL34G-E3/98

Vishay EGL34G-E3/98 is a silicon junction switching diode designed for high reliability and fast switching applications in industrial and electronic environments. It supports a maximum forward current of 0.5 A and withstands peak reverse voltages up to 400 V, making it suitable for power rectification and signal switching needs.

The diode features a single diode configuration with a cavity-free, glass passivated junction construction that minimizes leakage current, typically under 0.2 μA. It provides a rapid peak reverse recovery time of 50 ns, essential for efficient switching performance in circuits operating at high frequencies.

Mechanically, the diode comes in a compact surface-mount DO-213AA package with dimensions approximately 3.68 mm length, 1.68 mm height, and 1.68 mm width. Its molded epoxy over glass body meets flame retardant requirements (UL 94 V-0), assuring safety and durability. Matte tin plating on the leads ensures excellent solderability as per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 standards.

Typical applications include high voltage rectification on G2 grid CRTs and televisions, as well as snubber circuits in camera flash electronics. The component is RoHS compliant, commercial grade, and undergoes rigorous whisker testing to meet JESD 201 class 1A reliability standards.

Single silicon junction diode configuration ensures compact and efficient performance. Peak forward surge capability up to 10 A supports transient conditions effectively. Fast switching characteristics enable usage in high-frequency applications.

Wide operating temperature range from -65°C to 175°C suits harsh industrial environments. Compact DO-213AA surface mount package aids circuit miniaturization. Glass passivated junction enhances device stability and longevity.

Molded epoxy case provides mechanical protection and flame resistance. Matte tin plated leads ensure reliable solder joints and electrical connectivity. Color band marking facilitates easy polarity identification during assembly.

This diode is ideal for use in electronic components manufacturing, power modules, industrial electronics, and telecommunications equipment. Vishay products are widely respected in the Discrete Semiconductors category for quality and performance.
