1N1200A

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1200A is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for high-current applications. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 100 V and an average forward rectified current (Io) of 12 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop (Vf) of 1.2 V at 30 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 100 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C and utilizes a DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud mount package.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High thermal stability with a maximum junction temperature rating of 200°C
• Robust mechanical construction utilizing a stud mount configuration for efficient heat dissipation
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose power conversion

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power supply rectification
• Battery charging systems
• DC motor drive circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix, such as AMS, against official documentation to confirm exact packaging or marking variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as this component may not meet current environmental directives. Validate that the DO-4 package dimensions match the target chassis mounting requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V blocking capability and 12 A continuous current are required in a stud-mount form factor. Ensure the application environment supports the specified 200°C junction temperature limit. Consider the standard recovery speed for non-high-frequency switching scenarios where lower cost is prioritized over fast transient response.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N1200 series of axial and stud-mounted silicon rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. The series provides reliable performance for medium-power industrial applications. The 1N1200A specifically denotes the 100 V variant within this lineup, sharing common thermal and mechanical characteristics with other ratings in the family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent parts from the same manufacturer. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when considering cross-brand alternatives.
