Product Technical Characteristics

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): This diode can handle up to 200 V in reverse bias condition.

• Current - Average Rectified (Io): The average rectified forward current for this device is rated at 2A.

• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: The maximum forward voltage drop across the diode at its rated forward current of 2A is 1.05 V.

• Speed: NHPM220 falls under fast recovery category with recovery time less than or equal to 500ns and more than 200mA Io.

• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): This parameter measures the time taken for the diode to switch from conducting state in forward bias condition to non-conducting state in reverse bias condition. For NHPM220, it stands at just 50 ns.

Additional Features & Specifications

• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: The leakage current when applied voltage is maximum i.e.,@200V, accounts for only about negligible amount of power loss, making it efficient even during off-state conditions.

• Packaging:The component comes packaged as Tape & Reel(TR), which makes it suitable for automated assembly processes.

• Packaging Case/ Supplier Device Package:In a DO-216AA package / Powermite format which offers compact footprint and robust performance characteristics.

• Junction Operating Temperature:A wide operating temperature range from -65°C up till +175°C makes these devices versatile across various environmental conditions.
