# RS101 Series Rectifier Specifications

## General Overview

This document outlines the specifications for the RS101 series of rectifiers, covering various aspects from operational characteristics to electrical ratings. It assumes single-phase, 60Hz operation with resistive or inductive loads, but notes that for capacitive loads, current must be derated.

## Key Features & Ratings

️· Voltage Ratings: Offers a range of voltage ratings (50V, 100V, 200V, 400V, 600V, 800V, 1000V) for both recurrent peak reverse voltage and RMS voltage. The maximum DC blocking voltage is also detailed.
️· Current: Average forward rectified current ratings are provided (not specifically listed per model, but implied).
️· Lead Length: .375" (9.5mm) lead length at 50°C (Ta=50°C).
️· Surge Current: Includes a Peak Forward Surge Current rating with 8.3ms pulse.
️· Temperature Range: Operating temperature is indicated, although specifics are lacking.
️· Forward Voltage Drop: Specific model values aren’t detailed.
️· Reverse Leakage Current: Not specifically detailed.

## Operational Considerations

️· Single-Phase, 60Hz: Designed for single-phase, 60Hz applications.
️· Load Type: Suitable for resistive or inductive loads.

️· Capacitive Load Derating: Current must be derated when used with capacitive loads.
