Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as this component has been produced by multiple entities including Microsemi and Solid State Inc. Confirm the specific datasheet version matches your design requirements. Ensure the DO-5 package dimensions align with your mounting hardware. Request official documentation to validate electrical parameters before integration into critical systems.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when high average current handling near 70A is required alongside moderate reverse voltage blocking at 450V. The stud mount package necessitates compatible thermal interface materials and mounting hardware. Evaluate thermal resistance characteristics against your heatsink design to maintain junction temperatures within safe operational limits during continuous conduction periods.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the standard silicon rectifier category, historically significant in power electronics. Originally associated with Microsemi Corporation before its acquisition by Microchip Technology, it represents a legacy general-purpose rectifier design. The DO-5 package remains a standard form factor for high-current discrete diodes in industrial settings.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 1N2136 variants from different manufacturers such as Solid State Inc or Microsemi. Verify that substitute parts match the 70A current rating and 450V reverse voltage specifications exactly. Ensure package compatibility and thermal characteristics are equivalent to avoid redesigning mounting structures.
