1N2135A

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N2135A is a silicon standard recovery diode housed in a DO-5 (DO-203AB) stud mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and a continuous forward current rating of 60 A. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C, with a maximum thermal resistance from junction to case of 0.65 °C/W. The non-repetitive surge forward current capacity is 1050 A under specified half-sine wave conditions.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge current capability for robust transient handling
• Stud configuration allows direct mounting to heatsinks
• Standard polarity designates the stud as the cathode terminal

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification circuits
• Industrial power conversion systems
• Battery charging applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official documentation to confirm terminal configuration. Standard versions utilize a cathode stud, while reverse polarity variants feature an anode stud. Ensure the procurement specification matches the required electrical ratings and mechanical mounting dimensions for the intended application.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 400 V reverse voltage requirement and 60 A continuous current load. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with the 0.65 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -55 °C to 150 °C junction temperature limits.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N2133A through 1N2138AR series of silicon standard recovery diodes. All members share identical physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and current ratings, differing primarily in their repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings which range from 300 V to 600 V across the family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 1N2135A or 1N2135AR equivalents from different manufacturers. Confirm matching DO-5 package dimensions, 400 V blocking voltage, and 60 A current ratings before substitution.
