1N1202AR

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N1202AR is a silicon standard recovery rectifier diode housed in a DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and a continuous forward current rating of 12 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 12 A and supports a non-repetitive surge current of 240 A. Operating temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C, with a thermal resistance junction-to-case of 2.00 °C/W.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for handling transient current loads
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge events
• Standard polarity configuration with the stud serving as the cathode

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification circuits
• Power supply input stages
• Industrial control systems

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm terminal configuration. The standard variant utilizes a cathode stud, while the 'R' suffix indicates reverse polarity where the stud functions as the anode. Confirm package dimensions match the DO-4 specification before integration into mechanical assemblies.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust standard recovery characteristics in a stud-mount form factor. Ensure the system design accommodates the specified thermal resistance and operating temperature limits. Verify that the 200 V reverse voltage rating provides adequate margin for the circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N1199A through 1N1206AR series manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series covers a voltage range from 50 V to 600 V, all sharing identical current ratings and physical package dimensions. This family allows for standardized mechanical designs across varying voltage requirements.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include the 1N1200A(R) and 1N1204A(R). These parts share identical electrical current ratings and package specifications but differ in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings.
