1N1201BR

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1201BR is a single standard recovery rectifier designed for stud mount applications. It features a DO-203AA (DO-4) package and supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 150 V with an average forward rectified current of 12 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at 30 A and maintains a low reverse leakage current of 10 µA at the rated voltage. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C, ensuring reliability in demanding thermal environments.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High-temperature operation capability up to +200°C junction temperature
• Stud mount configuration for efficient thermal management
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose rectification

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power supply rectification
• Battery charging circuits
• DC power distribution systems

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BR against official Microchip documentation to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and terminal plating specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical data indicates non-compliance for some variants in this series. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required voltage and current ratings precisely before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust stud-mount diode is required for high-current applications. Compare the 12 A rating against circuit load requirements. Verify that the 150 V reverse voltage exceeds the peak inverse voltage in the application. Consider the thermal resistance of the mounting surface due to the stud mount package type.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N1201 series of axial lead or stud mount silicon rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares the same electrical core specifications as the 1N1201 but may differ in packaging or termination style indicated by the suffix. It is part of a broader family of high-power discrete diodes used in industrial electronics.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 1N1201 and 1N1201C from Microchip Technology, provided the package and suffix requirements match. Cross-brand replacements must be verified for identical current, voltage, and thermal specifications.
