1N1616A

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1616A is a silicon power rectifier diode designed for high-voltage and high-current applications. It features a stud-mount configuration with a DO-4 (DO-203AA) package. The device provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and an average forward rectified current rating of 16A at 85°C. It includes a glass-passivated die for enhanced reliability and offers a surge current rating of 200A.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction for improved stability
• Stud-mount design for efficient thermal dissipation
• High surge current capability for transient protection

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power supply rectification
• Battery charging systems
• DC power distribution units

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as historical production may involve Microsemi or Microchip. Confirm the exact voltage variant, as datasheets indicate VRRM options up to 1200V, ensuring the 600V specification matches the application requirement. Check package authenticity for the DO-4 stud mount style.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, stud-mounted rectifier is required for medium-power circuits. Ensure the mounting surface allows for proper thermal contact. Verify that the 16A continuous current rating meets the load requirements under expected ambient temperature conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the standard rectifier family, historically associated with Microsemi Corporation before its acquisition by Microchip Technology. It utilizes a glass-to-metal construction typical of ruggedized industrial diodes. The DO-4 package remains a standard form factor for stud-mounted power devices in legacy and modern designs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

JAN1N1616R is a documented equivalent offering similar 15A/600V specifications in a DO-4 package.
