1N2258A

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N2258A is a standard silicon power rectifier designed for high-reliability applications. It features a glass passivated die and a glass-to-metal seal construction, ensuring robust performance in harsh environments. The device offers a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of up to 1200V and supports a surge current rating of 200A. With a low forward voltage characteristic, it contributes to efficient power conversion. The component is housed in a non-RoHS compliant package, specifically the DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud mount configuration, suitable for industrial control systems requiring durable rectification solutions.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify compliance requirements carefully as this component utilizes a non-RoHS package. Confirm that the specific voltage and current ratings meet your circuit design needs before procurement. Ensure compatibility with the DO-4 stud mount thermal management strategy. Check for any regulatory restrictions regarding lead-based materials in your target market. Validate supplier authenticity through authorized Microchip channels to guarantee component integrity.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select the 1N2258A when high reverse voltage tolerance and surge capacity are critical. Consider its glass-to-metal seal for superior environmental protection compared to plastic encapsulated alternatives. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements due to the stud mount form factor. Compare against lower voltage variants if system constraints allow. Ensure the non-RoHS status aligns with project specifications.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the standard rectifier category from Microchip Technology. It serves as a replacement for older industry-standard diodes like the 1N2258A designation implies historical continuity. The DO-4 package is a legacy form factor still used in specific industrial and military applications where proven reliability is prioritized over miniaturization.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers include 1N2258A itself as referenced by aftermarket suppliers. Verify electrical equivalence with other 600V/22A or 1200V equivalents in the DO-4 package before substitution.
