1N1184A

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1184A is a silicon junction rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features an axial leaded package configuration suitable for through-hole mounting. The device provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and supports an average forward rectified current of 3.3 A. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current capability of 100 A at specified conditions, a maximum DC forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at rated current, and a low maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at full rated voltage. The component operates reliably within a junction temperature range from -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and packaging type when sourcing, as availability may vary between bulk and tape-and-reel formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as legacy series components may have different environmental declarations depending on the production batch. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for critical installations.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with moderate current capacity and high voltage blocking is required. The 1N1184A is appropriate for designs needing reliable performance under high thermal stress conditions. Compare its surge current rating and forward voltage characteristics against alternative packages to ensure compatibility with the target PCB layout and thermal management strategy.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N1184A belongs to the established 1N11xx series of silicon rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. This series utilizes mature planar die technology to ensure consistent electrical performance and long-term reliability. The part is widely recognized in industrial and commercial electronics for its robust construction and standardized pinout, facilitating easy integration into existing circuit architectures.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct cross-reference parts include the 1N1184 (without suffix) which shares identical electrical specifications. Other compatible equivalents from different manufacturers must be verified for matching voltage ratings, current capabilities, and physical dimensions before substitution.
