UF4007 Specifications

Review UF4007 electrical specifications, operating conditions and package details.

Key specifications

The PN junction briefly carries reverse recovery current while stored charge is removed. The 75 ns limit belongs to a defined test; it is not a universal delay or a complete switching-loss model.

Reverse peak rating1000 V · VRRM maximum
Average rectified current1 A · stated mounting
Reverse recovery75 ns maximum · specified test
Junction maximum150 °C · absolute limit
