This document describes the features and characteristics of the GL34A to GL34M series 0.5 Amp standard recovery rectifiers, including high current capability, extremely low thermal resistance, suitable for surface mount application, and higher temperature soldering.
The GL34A‑GL34M series are high‑current, surface‑mount rectifier diodes offered in a MINIMELF plastic package. They feature extremely low thermal resistance, a high soldering temperature of 250 °C for 10 seconds, and are suitable for applications requiring 0.5 A average forward current.
The document provides detailed electrical characteristics, including maximum reverse voltage up to 1000 V, peak forward surge currents, junction capacitance, and temperature ratings. Characteristic curves illustrate forward current derating, instantaneous forward voltage, and reverse recovery behavior at 25 °C.
