1N1196A

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1196A is a silicon rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features a single-phase, single-element configuration housed in a DO-203AB (DO-5) metal axial package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V and a continuous forward current of 40A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as historical data indicates production by Microsemi, now part of Microchip Technology. Confirm the package style matches the required DO-203AB specification. Ensure the component meets the necessary voltage and current ratings for the intended circuit design before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current, high-voltage rectifier is required in an axial metal package. Consider the 40A forward current and 400V reverse voltage limits. Evaluate the thermal management requirements given the +200°C maximum junction temperature rating and the physical constraints of the DO-5 housing.
