1N3214

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3214 is a silicon standard recovery rectifier diode housed in a DO-5 stud mount package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and a continuous forward current rating of 15 A. The device supports a surge non-repetitive forward current of 297 A under specified conditions. Electrical characteristics include a maximum DC blocking voltage of 600 V and a typical forward voltage of 1.5 V at 15 A. The junction-to-case thermal resistance is 1.5 °C/W, with an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for handling transient current loads
• Stud mount configuration with the base serving as the cathode terminal

Single Diodes Applications

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

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage variant against the required circuit design, as the series includes multiple ratings. Confirm the polarity orientation, noting that standard units have a cathode stud while reversed polarity variants exist. Ensure the mounting surface preparation meets the thermal interface requirements for the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance value.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust stud-mount rectifier is needed for medium-current applications requiring high surge tolerance. The DO-5 package facilitates direct heatsink attachment for efficient thermal management. Consider the 600 V reverse voltage rating to ensure adequate margin for the system's peak inverse voltage conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N3212 through 1N3214R series of silicon standard recovery diodes. All members share identical physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and current ratings, differing only in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications. The series utilizes a consistent metal DO-5 package designed for high-power stud mounting applications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 1N3212 and 1N3213, provided their lower voltage ratings meet the application requirements. Reversed polarity versions are designated with an (R) suffix.
