1N1615A

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1615A is a silicon rectifier diode designed for stud-mount applications. It features a single-phase, one-element configuration with a maximum average forward rectified current of 16 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 400 V. The device utilizes a DO-203AA (DO-4) metal package where the case serves as the anode terminal. It supports a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 200 A and operates within a junction temperature range from -65 °C to +200 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix matches the required electrical tolerance and packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted materials are prohibited in the target assembly. Ensure the mounting hardware interface aligns with the DO-203AA stud dimensions for proper thermal contact and mechanical retention.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when high surge current capability and elevated temperature operation are required. The stud-mount design is suitable for applications needing efficient heat transfer to a chassis or heatsink. Verify that the 400 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the peak inverse voltage present in the circuit under all operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context
