I work in a component deication lab. This part was sent for testing at 5.5v (according to the customer who purchased them from a clearing house supplier). However, there is no datasheet so I have no idea what breakdown current limit should be to determine pass/fail criteria.
I am led to believe...
Wow. OK. I really appreciate the great information. I did not know it would be this involved, but I have alot to go on and alot to learn. Never had to do this before. Most of my work has been on motors etc, so this is new. Thank you again for the information. I'll crunch some numbers and if it's...
duke37 - measure what? I have the diode in hand and the datasheet. What I don't know or how to calculate or where to find in the datasheet is how much heat this diode can dissipate without a heat sink. A resistor for instance comes in .25W, .5W etc. So from this I lnow what i can pump through...
I need some help understanding 2 things: the power rating of a diode and the size of the heat sink needed to keep the diode from being destroyed.
The diode I am looking at is 150KR60A (datasheet is attached).
First, how do I know how much heat this diode can tolerate on a continuous basis? I...
