Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking matches Microchip Technology or authorized legacy holders such as Microsemi. Confirm the package style is DO-5 and the part number is exactly 1N2788. Request datasheets to validate the 200V Vrrm and 50A Io ratings against your specific circuit requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200V reverse voltage rating and 50A continuous forward current are required in a DO-5 package. Ensure the thermal management strategy supports the power dissipation associated with high-current rectification. Compare alternative packages if board space constraints differ from the axial lead form factor.
