1N3212R

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3212R is a silicon standard recovery rectifier diode housed in a DO-5 (DO-203AB) stud mount package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and supports a continuous forward current of 15 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.5 V at 15 A and handles a surge non-repetitive forward current of 297 A. Operating junction temperatures range from -55 °C to 150 °C, with storage temperatures spanning -55 °C to 150 °C. The 'R' suffix indicates reverse polarity where the stud functions as the anode.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for handling transient current loads
• Not ESD sensitive for robust handling
• Stud base construction for thermal management

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification
• Power supply circuits
• Industrial equipment power stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official manufacturer documentation to confirm electrical ratings and polarity configuration. Ensure the procurement channel provides authentic components matching the GeneSiC Semiconductor specifications. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate performance parameters before integration into designs.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V blocking voltage and 15 A continuous current rating are required in a stud-mount form factor. Consider the reverse polarity configuration if the system design necessitates the stud terminal to serve as the anode connection point rather than the cathode.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N3212 through 1N3214R series of silicon standard recovery diodes manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. These devices share similar physical packaging and general characteristics but differ primarily in their voltage ratings, which range from 400 V to 600 V within the series.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1N3212 variants or equivalent 400 V, 15 A stud-mount rectifiers from other manufacturers that match the DO-5 package dimensions and electrical specifications.
