1N1184

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N1184 is a silicon standard recovery rectifier diode housed in the DO-5 (DO-203AB) stud-mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a continuous forward current rating of 35 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V at 35 A and a reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 50 V. It supports a surge non-repetitive forward current of 595 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for handling transient current loads
• Stud base configuration with cathode connection on the mounting surface
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification
• Power supply circuits
• Industrial equipment power stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as GeneSiC Semiconductor products may be distributed under alternative branding such as Vishay or Navitas. Confirm that the component matches the DO-5 package dimensions and terminal configuration provided in the official datasheet. Ensure the part number corresponds to the standard polarity variant where the stud serves as the cathode.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V blocking voltage and 35 A continuous current are required in a stud-mount form factor. The 1N1184 is suitable for applications needing high surge tolerance and standard recovery characteristics. Consider the thermal resistance of 0.25 °C/W for heat sink design and ensure the operating environment stays within the specified temperature limits.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N1184 belongs to the 1N1183 through 1N1187R series of silicon standard recovery diodes. This family shares identical physical dimensions and electrical ratings for forward current and surge capability, differing primarily in their repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings which range from 50 V to 300 V across the series.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The 1N1184R serves as the reverse polarity substitute, featuring an anode-connected stud instead of a cathode. Other series members like the 1N1183 or 1N1186 offer different voltage ratings but share the same package and current specifications.

Single Diodes FAQ

What is the terminal configuration for the standard 1N1184?

In the standard 1N1184 configuration, the metal stud acts as the cathode terminal, while the single axial lead serves as the anode.

How does the 1N1184 handle short-term current spikes?

The device supports a surge non-repetitive forward current of 595 A under half-sine wave conditions lasting 8.3 ms.
