Its 1300V reverse blocking capability and robust surge resistance allow it to operate safely in high-voltage environments like motor drives and power inverters.

Yes, but only in the input rectifier stage. It’s not fast enough for high-frequency switching stages like ultrafast or Schottky diodes.

It’s typically available in ammo-pack, bulk bags, and reels depending on the supplier and production quantity requirements.

Use external heat sinks or increase PCB trace width for better heat dissipation when operating near rated current.

Yes, most variants today are RoHS-compliant with lead-free tin-plated leads.
