The recommended mounting torque for the RS2003M is 10-15 in-lbs (1.1-1.7 Nm) to ensure proper thermal and electrical connections.
While the RS2003M is a fast-recovery diode, it's not suitable for high-frequency switching applications (>100 kHz) due to its relatively high reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns. Consider using a diode with a lower trr for high-frequency applications.
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, handle the RS2003M with ESD-protective equipment, such as wrist straps, mats, or bags. Ensure the workspace is ESD-safe, and avoid touching the device's pins or leads.
The maximum allowable voltage derating for the RS2003M is 80% of the rated voltage (200V) at high temperatures (above 150°C). This ensures the diode operates within its safe operating area (SOA).
Yes, you can use multiple RS2003M diodes in parallel to increase current handling, but ensure each diode has its own heat sink and is properly thermally connected. Also, consider the current sharing and mismatch issues that may arise in parallel configurations.
