1N2236

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N2236 is a standard rectifier diode designed for high-power applications. It features a glass passivated die and a glass-to-metal seal construction, providing robust performance in demanding environments. The device offers a low forward voltage drop and supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of up to 1200V. It is rated for a 200A surge current capability, ensuring reliability during transient events. Packaged in the DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud mount configuration, this component is suitable for industrial power conversion systems requiring durable silicon power rectifiers.

• Industrial power conversion systems
• General purpose rectifier applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific VRRM rating required for your application, as datasheets indicate variants up to 1200V. Confirm the package type matches your thermal management strategy, as the DO-4 stud mount requires specific mounting hardware. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply, noting that some listings describe non-RoHS packages. Ensure the manufacturer source is authorized to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when high surge current handling and rugged mechanical construction are prioritized over compact size. The stud mount design necessitates adequate heatsinking infrastructure compared to surface-mount alternatives. Evaluate the forward voltage drop against system efficiency requirements. Consider the glass-to-metal seal benefits if operating in harsh or high-vibration environments where standard plastic encapsulation might fail.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N2236 belongs to the family of silicon power rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes a DO-4 axial leaded package with a stud terminal, distinguishing it from modern surface-mount diodes. This form factor is typical for legacy and heavy-duty industrial equipment where direct chassis mounting provides superior thermal dissipation and mechanical stability for high-current paths.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the DO-4 package and stud mount interface. Verify equivalent surge ratings and reverse voltage capabilities. Cross-reference with other 1N series rectifiers from different manufacturers only if pinout and mechanical dimensions are identical.
