1N2137A

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N2137A is a silicon standard recovery rectifier diode designed for high-power applications. It features a DO-5 (DO-203AB) stud mount package with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 500 V and a continuous forward current rating of 60 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.1 V at 60 A and supports a surge non-repetitive forward current of 1050 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C, with a thermal resistance from junction to case of 0.65 °C/W.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as it determines terminal polarity configuration. Standard versions utilize a cathode stud, while reverse polarity variants feature an anode stud. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and ensure mounting hardware matches the specified thread size for secure installation.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring robust standard recovery performance in high-current environments. Ensure the thermal management system maintains the junction temperature below 150 °C under full load conditions. Verify that the applied reverse voltage does not exceed the 500 V rating during transient events.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N2133A through 1N2138AR series of silicon standard recovery diodes manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 300 V to 600 V, all sharing a common 60 A current capacity and DO-5 package form factor for interchangeability in high-power designs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1N2137A variants from different manufacturers or equivalent parts within the 1N2133A-1N2138AR family that match the 500 V / 60 A specifications and DO-5 package dimensions.
