1N2131AR

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N2131AR is a silicon standard recovery rectifier diode housed in a DO-5 (DO-203AB) stud mount package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and supports a continuous forward current of 60 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 60 A and a non-repetitive surge forward current capability of 1050 A. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55 °C to 150 °C, with a thermal resistance from junction to case of 0.65 °C/W.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix matches the required terminal configuration. Confirm the datasheet revision aligns with the manufacturing date code. Ensure mounting hardware specifications match the stud thread dimensions. Validate thermal interface material compatibility for the specified junction temperature range.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V blocking voltage and 60 A continuous current rating are required. The DO-5 package facilitates direct heatsink mounting via the stud terminal. Consider the 0.65 °C/W thermal resistance for heat sink sizing calculations. Verify that the standard recovery characteristics meet the circuit switching frequency requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N2128A through 1N2131AR series of silicon standard recovery diodes. All variants share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics within the DO-5 package. The series differentiates primarily by the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating, ranging from 50 V to 200 V across the lineup.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 200 V, 60 A stud-mount rectifiers in the DO-5 package. Verify pinout orientation and thermal resistance values before substitution. Cross-reference with equivalent part numbers from other manufacturers offering similar high-current stud-mounted configurations.
