1N1613

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1613 is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for high-current applications. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 100 V and an average rectified forward current (Io) of 16 A. The device utilizes a DO-4 (DO-203AA) axial leaded package with stud mounting capabilities, suitable for robust industrial environments. Key electrical characteristics include a forward voltage drop of 1.3 V at 30 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 100 V. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 200°C and exhibits a standard recovery time exceeding 500 ns.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High thermal stability with a junction temperature rating up to 200°C
• Robust mechanical construction utilizing stud mounting in a DO-4 package
• Standard recovery speed suitable for general-purpose power conversion

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power supply rectification
• Battery charging circuits
• DC-to-AC inverter output stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision when ordering, as manufacturing processes may evolve. Confirm that the DO-4 package dimensions match the intended heatsink or chassis mounting interface. Ensure the circuit design accounts for the specified 1.3 V forward voltage drop at rated load to maintain efficiency targets. Validate that the 100 V reverse voltage rating provides adequate margin for any transient spikes present in the target application environment.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a rugged, stud-mountable diode is required for currents up to 16 A. The 100 V rating limits its use to low-voltage AC lines or secondary-side rectification. Consider the >500 ns recovery time; it is not suitable for high-frequency switching applications where fast recovery or ultrafast diodes are necessary. The wide operating temperature range makes it appropriate for harsh industrial settings compared to standard commercial-grade alternatives.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N1613 belongs to the legacy 1N series of silicon rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. These components are characterized by their glass-passivated junctions and durable epoxy encapsulation. The DO-4 package represents a traditional form factor often used in heavy-duty equipment where screw-down mounting ensures reliable thermal dissipation and mechanical stability under vibration.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 1N16xx series parts from different manufacturers only if they explicitly confirm identical DO-4 stud mounting dimensions and a minimum 16 A / 100 V rating. Verify that substitute devices meet the same 200°C junction temperature limit.
