1N1616R

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N1616R is a silicon rectifier diode housed in the DO-203AA (DO-4) stud mount package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and an average rectified forward current rating of 15 A. The device supports a non-repetitive surge current of 200 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C. Constructed with glass passivation and a glass-to-metal seal, it ensures reliable performance in high-temperature environments.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking and date code against official Microchip Technology documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the component meets specific military or industrial standards if required by your design. Check for any ordering suffixes that may indicate packaging variations or material compliance differences. Ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation consistent with the part number specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust stud-mount rectifier is needed for high-current applications. The 600 V reverse voltage rating suits medium-voltage AC-to-DC conversion tasks. Consider the DO-4 package dimensions for mechanical integration. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 15 A continuous current rating and the need for adequate heatsinking to maintain junction temperatures within safe limits during operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N1616R belongs to the standard silicon rectifier family produced by Microchip Technology. It shares the DO-203AA package form factor with other general-purpose diodes in the series. This component is designed for durability in harsh environments, distinguishing it from smaller signal diodes. Its specifications align with traditional industrial rectifier requirements rather than high-speed switching applications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 1N1616A and 1N1616RA, which share similar electrical characteristics and package types. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Ensure that any replacement maintains the same voltage and current ratings to prevent circuit failure.
