1N3070

Single Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N3070 is a silicon junction switching diode designed for high-speed applications. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward rectifying current of 500 mA. The device utilizes a DO-35 axial through-hole package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 2 A, a typical reverse recovery time of 50 ns, and a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 100 nA at rated voltage. The forward voltage drop is typically 1 V at 100 mA. Operating temperatures range from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High conductance design optimized for fast switching performance
• Robust construction supporting high thermal stability up to 175 °C
• Low reverse leakage current ensuring minimal power loss in off-state

Single Diodes Applications

• High-speed digital logic circuits
• Computer interface protection
• Clamping and flyback diode applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as historical data indicates this part number may be obsolete or discontinued by certain vendors like DigiKey. Confirm availability with authorized distributors such as Mouser or direct supplier channels. Ensure the component matches the required DO-35 package and electrical specifications for your circuit design before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard silicon switching diode with 200 V reverse voltage capability is required. It serves as a general-purpose replacement for legacy designs requiring fast recovery characteristics. Consider the DO-35 through-hole form factor for compatibility with existing PCB layouts. Evaluate alternative modern equivalents if surface-mount solutions are preferred for new designs.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N3070 belongs to the family of small signal switching diodes manufactured by onsemi (formerly Fairchild Semiconductor). It is a single-element silicon junction device commonly used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems. The DO-35 package provides reliable mechanical mounting for axial lead implementations.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Public sources indicate the onsemi version is obsolete. Parametric equivalents from other manufacturers may be available. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure substitute parts meet the 200 V and 500 mA requirements.
