1N1586

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1586 is a silicon power rectifier diode designed for stud mount applications. It features a DO-4 (DO-203AA) package and provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 500 V with an average rectified forward current rating of 3 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.3 V at 30 A and supports a surge current of 200 A. Constructed with glass passivation and glass-to-metal sealing, it ensures reliable performance in high-power rectification circuits.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as this component family has been produced by multiple entities including Microsemi and Microchip Technology. Confirm that the datasheet corresponds to the 500 V / 3 A specification variant rather than other ratings within the 1N158x series. Ensure the package designation matches the DO-4 form factor required for your mounting hardware.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a ruggedized, stud-mountable silicon rectifier is required for medium-current applications. The 500 V reverse voltage rating suits general industrial AC-DC conversion tasks. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics inherent to the DO-4 package when designing heatsinking solutions for continuous operation at the rated 3 A current level.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N1586 belongs to the standard 1N158x series of silicon power rectifiers. This series is characterized by its use of glass-to-metal sealed packages, which offer superior hermeticity compared to plastic encapsulated alternatives. These components are widely utilized in applications demanding high reliability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' equivalents such as those from Littelfuse or Vishay that share the 1N1586 part number and DO-4 package. Verify that any substitute maintains the identical 500 V reverse voltage and 3 A average current ratings to ensure circuit compatibility.
