Description

The KU290…KU1490 is a series of silicon rectifier diodes made in Romania by IPRS Băneasa, listed in the Agenda radioelectronistului (2nd edition, 1989) with a repetitive peak reverse voltage VRRM of 200–1400 V and a maximum average forward current of 90 A [1]. Its codes are in the Variants table; the package drawing is in the Gallery.

Each code also exists with R at the end (printed „(R)”); on the package drawing the stud is the cathode for the codes without R and the anode for the codes with R [1].

The I.P.R.S. Băneasa Full Line Condensed Catalog (1990) lists the KU290…KU1490-S (12 codes) among the „Standard rectifiers ( IFAVM < 100 A )” of its „Rectifiers” section [2]. The codes new on this page and the catalog values it did not have (IFAVM temperature, IF of VF, VF0, rF, TJM) are under Variants [2]. In this table VF and IR are maximum values (at the IF and TJ given), VF0 is a maximum and i²t is printed in kA²s; the codes marked „(R)” are also made with reverse polarity; the 275 A that this page gives as IFRM is in the catalog’s IF RMS column; the „-S” codes have a metal-glass case [2]. For the codes of this table already on this page the catalog gives IF RMS 275 A; i²t 12000 A²s (elsewhere on this page: IF RMS 140 A; i²t 16200 A²s) [2].

Measurement conditions (as printed in the table): IFRMSM at Tamb = 98 °C; IFAVM at Tamb = 98 °C; VF at IF = 275 A; IR at Tamb = 150 °C; IFSM for 10 ms.
