Edal SERIES L Silicon High Voltage Cartridge Series L high voltage silicon rectifiers are designed for applications requiring minimum size combined with maximum power. The half-wave configuration consists of matched, pre-tested, pre-selected double diffused avalanche rectifiers offering self-protection against voltage transients. Faster assembly by eliminating the need of soldering many diodes to achieve equivalent circuitry is a decided economy made possible by axial leads that facilitate point-to-point circuit soldering. These compact packages, offering long life and a high degree of reliability, meet rigid environmental conditions. Half-wave circuits in voltage ratings from 1500 to 30,000 volts PIV. Currents range from 20 mA to 1 amp. Special types are available upon request. Electrical Ratings (for Half Wave Circuit) Maximum Allowable DC Output Current: at 25 o C ambient temperature, 1 amp o at 100 C ambient temperature, 750 mA at 150 o C ambient temperature, 250 mA Maximum Allowable One Cycle Surge Current: (60 cps single phase non-recurrent, at rated PRV and no load 60 amps Maximum Full Load Forward Voltage Drop Per KV: (150 o C full cycle average) .5 volt Maximum Reverse Current: (150 o C full cycle average) .5 mA Storage Temperature: -65 oC to 150 o C Ambient Operating Temperature: -65 oC to 150 o C CURRENT (TENS OF Ma) 20 mA to 1 amp 25 SERIES L SPECIFICATIONS SERIES DESIGNATION L L PIV (HUNDREDS OF VOLTS) 1500 to 30,000 volts 15 First number represents current in tens of milliamps, second is the series designation, third PIV in hundreds of volts. 25 L 15, for example, signifies 250 mA, series L, and 1500 volts PIV.
