Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as the 1N2136R designation may be associated with multiple vendors including Solid State Inc. or Microchip Technology. Confirm the specific datasheet version (e.g., S/R35.pdf) to ensure alignment with required electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure the component status is active before procurement planning.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current axial diode with 450V blocking capability is required. The DO-5 package suits through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards where space allows for larger leads. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with 70A continuous operation during system design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the single discrete semiconductor diode category, specifically within the standard rectifier family. It serves as a fundamental building block for converting alternating current to direct current in various electronic systems. The 1N series numbering indicates its compliance with traditional junction diode standards.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 1N2136 variants from different manufacturers to verify pinout compatibility and exact electrical parameter matching. Ensure substitute parts maintain the same DO-5 package style and glass-seal construction if environmental sealing is critical.
