EGL41G-E3/96

The EGL41G-E3/96 is a surface-mount, glass passivated ultrafast rectifier diode from Vishay General Semiconductor, part of the EGL41 series. It is designed for high-frequency rectification and freewheeling applications in switching mode converters and inverters. The device features a superectifier structure for high reliability, a cavity-free glass-passivated junction, and meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V, an average forward rectified current of 1A, and a peak forward surge current of 30A. The reverse recovery time is typically 50ns, enabling efficient operation at high frequencies. The forward voltage is 1.25V maximum at 1A, and the junction capacitance is typically 14pF at 4V and 1MHz. The device is housed in a GL41 (DO-213AB) MELF package, which is ideal for automated placement. The terminals are matte tin plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Polarity is indicated by two bands on the cathode end. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS-compliant and lead-free status. This rectifier is suitable for use in consumer, computer, automotive, and telecommunication equipment.
