1N2133A

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N2133A is a silicon standard recovery rectifier diode housed in a DO-5 (DO-203AB) stud mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 300 V and a continuous forward current rating of 60 A. The device supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C with a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.65 °C/W. It exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 60 A and can withstand a non-repetitive surge current of 1050 A.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for handling transient overcurrent events
• Stud mount configuration for efficient thermal dissipation
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification
• Power supply circuits
• Industrial equipment power stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation, as the datasheet indicates that the 'R' suffix denotes reverse polarity where the stud functions as the anode rather than the cathode. Confirm the exact voltage variant matches the required circuit blocking specifications. Ensure mounting hardware compatibility with the 1/4-28 UNF threaded stud interface for proper mechanical installation and thermal contact.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust standard recovery diode is required for high-current applications. The DO-5 package facilitates direct heatsink mounting. Consider the 150 °C maximum junction temperature for high-temperature environments. Evaluate the 0.65 °C/W thermal resistance against the system's cooling capabilities to ensure safe operation under continuous load conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N2133A through 1N2138AR series of silicon standard recovery diodes. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 300 V to 600 V while maintaining a consistent 60 A current capacity. All variants share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics within the DO-5 package family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1N2133A parts from different manufacturers adhering to the same JEDEC DO-203AB outline. Verify that any replacement maintains the 300 V reverse voltage rating and 60 A forward current capability.
