1N3213

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3213 is a silicon standard recovery diode housed in a DO-5 (DO-203AB) stud package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and a continuous forward current rating of 15 A. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum RMS reverse voltage of 420 V, a DC blocking voltage of 600 V, and a surge non-repetitive forward current of 297 A under specified conditions.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for handling transient current loads
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge events
• Standard polarity configuration with the stud serving as the cathode

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• Reverse polarity protection in electronic systems

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official datasheets to confirm terminal configuration. Standard versions have the stud as the cathode, while reversed polarity variants exist. Ensure thermal management solutions align with the junction-to-case thermal resistance specifications provided in the manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust standard recovery diode is required for moderate current applications up to 15 A. The DO-5 stud package facilitates direct mounting to heatsinks for efficient thermal dissipation. Consider the 600 V reverse voltage rating for compatibility with common AC line voltages and ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -55 °C to 150 °C temperature range.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N3212 through 1N3214R series of silicon standard recovery diodes manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series offers varying reverse voltage ratings from 400 V to 600 V while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. These devices are designed for general-purpose rectification tasks requiring reliable performance in industrial and commercial power electronics applications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 1N3212 and 1N3214 models, which share identical package dimensions and current ratings but differ in reverse voltage specifications. Verify that any replacement matches the 600 V requirement and maintains the same stud polarity configuration to ensure circuit compatibility.
