A blocking voltage de-rating factor of 0.13%/°C is applicable to this device for Tj below 25°C.
3.0 Snubber Components
When selecting snubber components, care must be taken not to use excessively large values of snubber
capacitor or excessively small values of snubber resistor. Such excessive component values may lead to
device damage due to the large resultant values of snubber discharge current. If required, please consult
the factory for assistance.

Rectifier Diode Types W1032LC500 to W1032LC600
The forward characteristic I
(i) the well established V
(ii) a set of constants A, B, C, D, forming the coefficients of the representative equation for V
