Vishay Switching Diode Single Silicon Junction 0.25A 4kV DO-204AL GI250-4-E3/54

Vishay GI250-4-E3/54 is a single silicon junction switching diode engineered for high voltage rectification applications, offering a maximum forward current of 0.25 amperes and a peak reverse voltage rating of 4 kilovolts. Encased in a robust DO-204AL plastic package with a molded epoxy over glass body, it provides dependable fast-switching performance with a peak reverse recovery time of 2 microseconds, ensuring efficient operation in demanding electrical circuits.

The diode features a superectifier structure that guarantees high reliability and a cavity-free glass-passivated junction, resulting in low leakage currents typically below 0.2 microamperes. With a high peak non-repetitive forward surge current capability of 15 amperes, it is well-suited for transient conditions, enhancing circuit protection.

Designed for through-hole mounting, the component includes matte tin plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 standards. Its operating temperature range spans from -65°C to 175°C, accommodating a broad range of industrial and commercial applications such as high voltage rectification for G2 grids in CRT and TV devices and snubber circuits in camera flashes.

The package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for safety and reliability. The diode's polarity is clearly marked with a color band denoting the cathode end, facilitating correct installation. Manufactured to meet commercial-grade RoHS compliance (Base Part Number E3), it originates from China.
