1 Scope

This part of IEC 60747 specifies product specific standards for terminology, letter symbols, essential ratings and characteristics (properties), measuring and test methods, requirements for type tests, routine tests, endurance tests and marking for the following discrete semiconductor devices:

• generic rectifier diodes;

• avalanche rectifier diodes;

• fast-switching rectifier diodes;

• Schottky barrier diodes.

If no ambiguity is likely to result, any of the above will be referred to as diodes.
