1N1306

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1306 is a silicon power rectifier diode designed for high-current applications. It features a glass passivated die and glass-to-metal construction, providing robust performance in demanding environments. The device offers an 800A surge rating and supports reverse voltage ratings (VRRM) up to 1200V. Packaged in the DO-5 (DO-203AB) stud mount format, it delivers a standard forward current of 37A at a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 300V.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• General purpose high-current rectification

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer source carefully, as the 1N1306 designation has been associated with multiple vendors including Solid State Inc. and Microsemi. Confirm that the specific unit received matches the Microchip Technology datasheet specifications, particularly regarding the package type and electrical ratings, to ensure compatibility with your design requirements.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a rugged, stud-mount solution is required for high-power rectification. The DO-5 package facilitates efficient heat dissipation through direct mounting to a heatsink. Consider the 300V or higher voltage variants depending on the circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements and the necessity for the specified 800A surge tolerance.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the family of general-purpose silicon power rectifiers. Historically produced by Microsemi Corporation before its acquisition by Microchip Technology, the 1N1306 utilizes a stud mount configuration suitable for chassis mounting. It serves as a legacy alternative to modern surface-mount devices in heavy-duty industrial equipment.
