Additional Details

The RGP02-20E-4 features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5A. Its fast reverse recovery time, typically around 75 ns, minimizes switching losses in high-frequency circuits. The glass-passivated junction ensures stable and reliable performance. The diode is packaged in a molded plastic case with UL flammability classification 94V-0, providing added safety. The operating junction temperature ranges from -65°C to +150°C. The surge overload rating is 50A peak, providing robust protection against transient voltage spikes. The low forward voltage drop reduces power dissipation and increases overall circuit efficiency.
