1N1200A

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N1200A is a silicon standard recovery diode housed in a DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a continuous forward current rating of 12 A. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C, with a maximum storage temperature of the same range. Key electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 1.1 V at 12 A and a reverse current of 10 μA at 50 V. The thermal resistance from junction to case is 2.00 °C/W.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for robust performance under transient conditions
• Stud configuration allows direct mounting to heatsinks for efficient thermal management
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification circuits
• Power supply applications requiring high surge tolerance
• Industrial equipment utilizing stud-mounted components

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as it indicates terminal polarity configuration. Standard polarity designates the stud as the cathode, while the reverse polarity variant designates the stud as the anode. Confirm that the required voltage and current ratings align with the 100 V and 12 A specifications provided in the datasheet before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 100 V blocking voltage and 12 A continuous current handling. The DO-4 package facilitates secure mechanical attachment via a 10-32 UNF thread. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -55 °C to 150 °C junction temperature limits to maintain reliability and prevent thermal failure during operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N1199A through 1N1206AR series of silicon standard recovery diodes manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 600 V, all sharing the same 12 A current capacity and DO-4 package form factor. This specific model represents the 100 V variant within that standardized lineup.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include the 1N1199A, 1N1204A, and 1N1206A, provided their respective voltage ratings meet circuit requirements. Verify that any replacement maintains the identical DO-4 package dimensions and terminal configuration to ensure mechanical compatibility.
