Fast switching in a hermetic MELF
The 1N6641US is a fast recovery diode rated for 300 mA average rectified current with a 5 ns reverse recovery time, making it suitable for high-frequency rectification and snubbing in circuits where speed matters more than raw current capacity. Qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/609, this standard diode handles 50 V reverse voltage and operates across a -65°C to 175°C junction temperature range, which covers military and aerospace thermal extremes.
Parametric profile for the BOM line
Forward voltage is 1.1 V max at 200 mA forward current — the conduction loss at rated load is under 330 mW, so the SQ-MELF package dissipates it without derating in still air. Reverse leakage is 100 nA max at 50 V reverse bias, which keeps standby power negligible in battery-powered or high-impedance circuits.
