1N1344C

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1344C is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for high-power applications. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward rectified current rating of 16 A. The device utilizes a DO-4 (DO-203AA) axial leaded package, suitable for chassis or panel mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 200 V and a typical forward voltage drop of 1.3 V at 30 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status prior to procurement as this component series may not meet current environmental directives. Confirm the specific suffix 'C' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure correct pinout and mechanical dimensions. Validate that the DO-4 package style matches the intended board layout or chassis mounting requirements. Check for any export control classifications associated with the part number.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V, 16 A rectifier is required in a through-hole axial package. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 1.3 V forward voltage drop at rated load. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -65°C to +200°C junction temperature range. Consider the physical size of the DO-4 package for adequate heat dissipation and spacing.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N1344C belongs to the 1N134x series of high-current silicon rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. These devices are engineered for reliability in demanding industrial environments. The series shares common electrical specifications but may vary in packaging or specific testing criteria based on the suffix. They serve as direct replacements for legacy components in established power electronics designs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct equivalents include the 1N1344B and 1N1344A from Microchip, which share identical electrical ratings. Other manufacturers producing DO-4 packaged 200V 16A rectifiers may offer compatible substitutes, provided the forward voltage and leakage specifications are met.
