1N1614A

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1614A is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for high-power applications. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 200 V and an average forward rectified current (Io) of 15 A. The device utilizes a DO-203AA (DO-4) axial leaded package with stud mounting capability. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 1.5 V at 15 A and a reverse leakage current of 50 µA at 200 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer datasheet, as variations may exist between 1N1614 and 1N1614A. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as historical data indicates non-compliance for this series. Ensure the procurement channel provides official Microchip documentation to validate manufacturing origin and quality standards before finalizing orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V blocking voltage and 15 A continuous current rating are required in a ruggedized axial package. Consider the 1.5 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations. Verify that the application environment supports the specified operating temperature range and that the mounting hardware accommodates the DO-203AA stud configuration.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N1614A belongs to the legacy 1N1614 series of silicon rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. These components are part of the broader discrete semiconductor portfolio, specifically categorized under standard single diodes. The DO-203AA package is a traditional glass-passivated junction design intended for high-reliability industrial environments requiring robust mechanical attachment.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Microchip datasheet for cross-reference information. Potential substitutes may include other 15 A, 200 V standard recovery diodes in compatible packages, provided they meet or exceed the Vf and Ir specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before implementation.
