Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure that the diode is mounted with adequate heat sinking to maintain junction temperature within specified limits.
   • Use appropriate mounting hardware to secure the diode and ensure good thermal contact.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode to the positive side of the circuit and the cathode to the negative side.
   • Ensure that the peak inverse voltage (V_R(M)) does not exceed 350V to avoid breakdown.

3. Thermal Management:

   • The maximum junction temperature (T_J) should not exceed 150°C. Use a heatsink if necessary to dissipate heat effectively.
   • Avoid operating the diode in environments where the storage temperature (T_STG) exceeds 150°C or falls below -65°C.

4. Surge Current Handling:

   • The diode can handle a maximum repetitive peak forward surge current (I_FSM) of 50A for 10 ms single half-sine-wave at 25°C. Ensure that surge conditions do not exceed this limit to prevent damage.

5. Reverse Recovery Time:

   • The reverse recovery time (t_rr) is 350 ns. This parameter is crucial in high-frequency applications to minimize switching losses.

6. Forward Voltage Drop:

   • The forward voltage drop (V_F) at 1 A is typically 1.1V. This value should be considered when designing the power supply or circuit to ensure efficient operation.

7. Storage and Handling:

   • Store the diode in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture damage.
   • Handle the diode with care to avoid mechanical stress or damage to the leads.

By following these instructions, you can ensure optimal performance and longevity of the 1N6280A diode in your application.
