If that's the case, this is a very, very special diode assembly intended
for use at very high temperatures. Picoamp leakage diodes are special
items...very high resistivity, very clean die edges, very well sealed.
Semtech used to make a variety of products for "down hole" (well
drilling probe) applications where the ambient was 150 degrees C; for a
rectifier to be able to block any voltage at all at that temperature,
its ambient leakage current had to be just about "nothing," and much
lower than a standard rectifier. -WB2WIK/6

Subject: Re: [Amps] Semtech SA1388?
all I know about these diodes is that they have
1 pA leakage current specification (at 480 volts)
This is evident from the mentioned document. that is found at :
