1N3210

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3210 is a silicon standard recovery diode housed in a DO-5 (DO-203AB) stud mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and a continuous forward current rating of 15 A. The device supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C with a thermal resistance junction-to-case of 0.65 °C/W. Standard polarity configuration designates the stud as the cathode, while the reverse polarity variant (1N3210R) designates the stud as the anode.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for handling transient current loads
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge
• Stud mount construction for efficient thermal management

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification
• Power supply circuits
• Industrial control systems

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific polarity requirement before ordering, as the standard 1N3210 has a cathode stud while the 1N3210R has an anode stud. Confirm that the DO-5 package dimensions match the mechanical constraints of the target assembly. Ensure the mounting surface can maintain the required thermal interface conditions to keep the junction temperature within the specified operational limits during high-current operation.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust stud-mount diode is required for medium-current applications up to 15 A. The 200 V reverse voltage rating suits low-voltage AC-to-DC conversion or freewheeling roles. Consider the 0.65 °C/W thermal resistance for heatsinking calculations. The standard recovery characteristic is appropriate for lower frequency switching environments rather than high-speed applications.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N3208 through 1N3211 series of silicon standard recovery diodes manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series shares identical physical packaging and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their voltage ratings which range from 50 V to 300 V. All variants utilize the same DO-5 stud mount form factor and support a continuous forward current of 15 A.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering DO-5 stud mount diodes with equivalent 15 A current and 200 V voltage ratings. Verify that any substitute maintains the same stud polarity configuration (cathode or anode) to ensure correct circuit integration without mechanical modification.
