1N3162R

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N3162R is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for high-current applications. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 100 V and supports an average rectified current (Io) of 240 A. The device exhibits a forward voltage (Vf) of 1.25 V at the rated current and a reverse leakage current of 75 µA at 100 V. It utilizes a DO-205AB (DO-9) axial leaded package with stud mounting capability. The junction temperature range spans from -65°C to +200°C, ensuring reliability under extreme thermal conditions.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High current handling capability with 240 A average rectified current rating
• Extended thermal stability with a junction temperature range up to +200°C
• Robust construction using DO-205AB stud mount package for secure installation

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power supply systems requiring high current rectification
• Welding equipment power stages
• Heavy-duty motor drive circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify compliance requirements as this component does not meet RoHS standards. Confirm that the DO-205AB package dimensions match the target PCB or chassis mounting holes. Ensure thermal management solutions accommodate the +200°C junction limit during operation. Check for specific ordering suffixes if different packaging options are required by the manufacturer.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when applications demand high surge current handling and robust mechanical mounting via studs. The 100 V reverse voltage rating suits low-voltage, high-amperage conversion tasks. Consider the non-RoHS status for environmental compliance constraints. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs given the high forward current and voltage drop characteristics.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N316x series of high-power rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. These devices are engineered for rugged environments where standard surface-mount components may fail due to vibration or thermal stress. The series offers a balance of high current capacity and reliable reverse blocking performance for industrial-grade power electronics.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent DO-205AB rectifiers with matching 240 A and 100 V ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before swapping manufacturers.
