1N3265

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N3265 is a silicon planar junction barrier Schottky rectifier manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is designed for general-purpose rectification in low-voltage, high-frequency applications. The device features a hermetically sealed glass passivated junction and utilizes a DO-35 axial leaded package. It is rated for a continuous forward current of 100 mA and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 40 V. The component supports an operating junction temperature range from -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed glass passivated junction for environmental stability

• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load switching
• Power supply output rectification

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code on the ordering information to confirm the exact packaging type, such as bulk or tape and reel configurations. Ensure that the procurement documentation explicitly references the MIL-S-19500 standard if military-grade reliability is required for the application. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm current availability status and any potential obsolescence notices before finalizing purchase orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-signal Schottky rectifier with high-temperature capability is needed. The 40 V reverse voltage rating suits low-voltage DC systems. Consider the 100 mA current limit for signal-level applications rather than power delivery. The axial leaded package facilitates through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards where space constraints are minimal compared to surface-mount alternatives.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N32xx series of Schottky barrier rectifiers produced by Microchip Technology. These devices are legacy components often used in aerospace and defense electronics due to their rugged construction. The series provides a reliable alternative to standard PN junction diodes where lower forward voltage and faster recovery times are critical for system performance.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the 1N3266 (60 V rating) or 1N3264 (30 V rating) for voltage adjustments. Generic equivalents like the BAT54 series may be considered for surface-mount designs, though package and pinout differences require layout modifications. Verify thermal and electrical compatibility before substituting.
