1N3288A

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N3288A is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Microchip Technology, formerly associated with the Microsemi brand. This single-element power diode is housed in a DO-205AA-2 stud mount package. It supports a maximum average forward current of 150 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at rated current and a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 2.5 kA. Reverse leakage current is specified at 50 uA. The component operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +200 C junction temperature.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High thermal stability enabling operation up to 200 C junction temperature
• Robust surge current handling capability for industrial applications
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general rectification

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power supplies
• Motor drive rectification circuits
• Welding equipment power stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify manufacturer attribution carefully as sources list both Microchip and Microsemi. Confirm RoHS compliance status as documentation indicates non-compliance. Check production lead times due to reported long delivery periods. Ensure the specific DO-205AA-2 package variant matches mechanical mounting requirements. Validate that the 100V rating aligns with circuit design constraints.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for high-current low-voltage rectification tasks requiring stud mounting. The 150 A current capacity suits heavy-duty industrial loads. Consider the 1.1 V forward drop for thermal management calculations. Verify compatibility with existing heatsinking infrastructure for the DO-205AA-2 package. Ensure the 100 V reverse voltage provides adequate margin for the application's peak inverse voltage.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the family of high-power silicon rectifiers designed for robust industrial environments. It serves as a fundamental building block for converting AC to DC in high-amperage systems. The stud mount configuration facilitates direct attachment to chassis or heat sinks for efficient thermal dissipation.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 150 A, 100 V stud-mount rectifiers from manufacturers like Vishay or Littelfuse. Ensure pinout and mounting hole dimensions match exactly. Verify equivalent thermal resistance and forward voltage characteristics to maintain system performance.
