Bv= Breakdown v. If=Avg. forward current Ifs=Max. surge current
Ir= Max. DC reverse current Vr(rms)=RMS reverse volt.
Vf= Avg. forward voltage drop Cd=junction capacitance @ given Vr
CdM=Maximum junction capacitance
Trr= Reverse recovery time at If=10mA to 1mA
Trr*=Reverse recovery time at Ir/If=1 (for rectifying AC)
