Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1.5 A
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.3 V @ 1.5 A
Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 35 ns
Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 1 µA @ 400 V
Capacitance @ Vr, F: 21 pF @ 4V, 1MHz
Package / Case: SOD-123W
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C
Technology: Standard
Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

All identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications and mechanical compatibility with the main part number. Packaging format differences (Tape & Reel versus other formats) do not affect functional equivalence.
