1N2133AR

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N2133AR is a silicon standard recovery 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 exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 60 A and a thermal resistance from junction to case of 0.65 °C/W. Operating temperatures range from -55 °C to 150 °C for both the junction and storage environments.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability designed for demanding power applications
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge events
• Standard polarity configuration with the stud serving as the cathode terminal

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power conversion systems
• General-purpose rectification circuits
• Power supply units requiring high current handling

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix matches the required electrical characteristics, particularly the reverse voltage rating. Confirm the polarity designation aligns with the circuit design, ensuring the stud connection corresponds to the intended cathode or anode terminal. Check the datasheet for mounting torque specifications to ensure proper mechanical installation and thermal contact.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust silicon standard recovery diode is needed for high-current applications. The DO-5 package facilitates efficient heat dissipation through direct mounting to a heatsink. Ensure the system's thermal management can maintain the junction temperature within the specified operating range under maximum load conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N2133A through 1N2138AR series of silicon standard recovery diodes. All devices in this family share identical physical dimensions, pin configurations, and thermal characteristics. The primary distinction between the series members lies in their voltage ratings, allowing designers to choose the appropriate breakdown voltage while maintaining a consistent footprint.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 1N2133A variants from different manufacturers that meet the same 300 V and 60 A specifications. Verify that any replacement maintains the DO-5 package style and identical thermal resistance values to ensure seamless integration without redesigning the cooling infrastructure.
