The recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance involves placing the diode near a thermal pad or a heat sink, with a minimum of 1 oz copper thickness and a thermal relief pattern to ensure good heat dissipation.
To ensure reliable soldering, use a soldering iron with a temperature range of 250°C to 260°C, and apply a solder flux that is compatible with the diode's lead finish. Avoid overheating or applying excessive force, which can damage the device.
The maximum surge current rating for the GBJ2502-BP is 250A for a single cycle, with a pulse width of 10ms and a repetition rate of 60Hz.
Yes, the GBJ2502-BP can be used in switching power supply applications, but it's essential to ensure that the diode is properly snubbed to prevent voltage spikes and ringing. A suitable snubber circuit can help reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure reliable operation.
The recommended storage temperature range for the GBJ2502-BP is -40°C to 100°C, with a relative humidity of 60% or less. Avoid storing the devices in environments with high temperatures, humidity, or exposure to chemicals.
