Special Features:

Advantages are avalanche voltage rated for reliable operation; soft reverse recovery for low emi/rfi; low irm reduces: -power dissipation within the diode, -turn-on loss in the commutating switch; planar passivated chips; very short recovery time; extremely low switching losses; soft recovery behaviour

Properties:

A two electrode semiconductor device having an asymmetrical voltage - current characteristic. May or may not include mounting hardware and/or heatsink. Excludes light emitting diode and semiconductor device,photo. For items containing material such as selenium and copper oxide, see recifier, metallic.
