1N3211

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3211 is a silicon standard recovery rectifier diode housed in a DO-5 (DO-203AB) metal stud mount package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 300 V and a continuous forward current rating of 15 A. The device supports an operating junction temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C with a thermal resistance of 0.65 °C/W. Standard polarity designates the stud as the cathode, while the reverse polarity variant (1N3211R) designates the stud as the anode.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge non-repetitive forward current capability for transient load handling
• Robust metal stud construction providing efficient thermal dissipation
• Insensitive to electrostatic discharge events during handling

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose power rectification circuits
• Industrial power supply units requiring high reliability
• Battery charging systems utilizing stud-mount configurations

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific polarity suffix required for your circuit topology before ordering. Confirm that the manufacturer designation aligns with GeneSiC Semiconductor specifications rather than other vendors using similar part numbers. Ensure the DO-5 mounting interface matches your heatsink or chassis requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a ruggedized silicon rectifier with high surge tolerance is needed. The DO-5 package facilitates direct mounting to cooling structures. Consider the 1N3211R variant if the circuit design requires the stud terminal to function as the anode connection point. Evaluate the thermal resistance against your system's heat dissipation capabilities.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N3208 through 1N3211 series of silicon standard recovery diodes. All members share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics within the DO-5 package family. The series provides scalable voltage ratings from 50 V to 300 V while maintaining a consistent 15 A current capacity across all variants.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' DO-5 stud rectifiers rated at 300 V and 15 A. Verify mechanical compatibility of the 1/4-28 UNF thread and stud diameter. Ensure electrical parameters such as forward voltage drop and reverse leakage meet the original design constraints.
