1N3211R

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N3211R is a silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a single element configuration with a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 300V and an average forward current rating of 40A. The device utilizes a DO-203AB (DO-5) metal case package with one pin, where the case serves as the cathode connection. It is designed for power applications and supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 800A.
