RL257 TB

YFW · Diodes - General Purpose · DO-15

RL257 TB from YFW, in a DO-15. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 K passive Cathode, marked with a cathode band on the DO-15 body; positive terminal of the rectifier, with VRRM of 1000 V for RL257.
2 A passive Anode terminal of the rectifier at the end opposite the cathode mark, with 2.5 A maximum average forward current at Tc = 100 °C.
