1N2286

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N2286 is a general-purpose silicon power rectifier diode designed for high-voltage applications. It features an 800V repetitive peak reverse voltage rating and supports a continuous forward current of 20A. The component utilizes a stud mount configuration within the DO-5 (DO-203AB) package, facilitating efficient thermal dissipation through direct mounting to heatsinks. This construction ensures reliable operation in demanding power conversion environments where robust mechanical stability and thermal management are critical.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking on the device body to confirm Microchip Technology origin, as generic equivalents exist. Ensure the DO-5 stud thread specifications match your heatsink interface requirements. Request the official datasheet from authorized distributors to validate electrical parameters against specific application needs before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when high reverse voltage blocking and moderate current capacity are required in a thermally efficient package. The stud mount style is preferred over leaded packages for higher power densities. Confirm that the operating junction temperature range aligns with the system's thermal design constraints and ambient conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the standard silicon power rectifier category, widely used in industrial electronics. It serves as a fundamental building block for AC-to-DC conversion stages. The DO-5 package is a legacy but still prevalent form factor for medium-power diodes requiring direct chassis or heatsink mounting.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Aftermarket suppliers list replacements such as AW0583. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance characteristics when substituting. Ensure the alternative meets the same 800V and 20A ratings to maintain circuit integrity.
