1N1587

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N1587 is a silicon power rectifier manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a single diode configuration with a cathode case connection. The device supports an average forward current of up to 3 A and offers a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. It is housed in the DO-203AA (DO-4) axial leaded package, designed for general-purpose rectification applications requiring robust performance.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Constructed from silicon material for reliable power rectification
• Single element configuration with cathode case connection
• Designed for stud mount or chassis mount installation

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose power rectification
• AC to DC conversion circuits
• Industrial power supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as the component history involves transitions between Microsemi and Microchip Technology. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required RoHS compliance status if applicable. Ensure the package type corresponds to the DO-203AA standard. Cross-reference datasheets to confirm electrical ratings align with system requirements before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-voltage silicon rectifier with a 600 V rating is required. The 3 A average forward current capability suits moderate power applications. Consider the DO-4 package size for thermal management and mounting constraints. Verify compatibility with existing circuit designs requiring single-phase rectification.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N1587 belongs to the 1N158x series of silicon power rectifiers. This family includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as 1N1581 through 1N1589. The series is characterized by its rugged construction and suitability for industrial environments. Microchip Technology continues the legacy of these components originally produced by Microsemi.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1N158x series diodes with identical 600 V ratings, such as the 1N1587 from alternative manufacturers. Ensure replacement parts match the 3 A current rating and DO-4 package dimensions. Verify thermal characteristics and reverse leakage specifications.
