1N3288AR

Single Diodes Overview

The Powerex Inc. 1N3288AR is a single-element standard recovery rectifier diode designed for high-power applications. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and supports a continuous forward current of 150 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at rated conditions and can withstand a non-repetitive peak surge current of 2500 A. Operating within a temperature range from -65 °C to +200 °C, it utilizes a stud mount configuration in a DO-205AA-2 package.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High thermal stability enabling operation up to 200 °C junction temperature
• Robust surge current handling capability for transient protection

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AR' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact packaging or marking variations. Ensure the stud mount interface matches the system thermal management design. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the latest product documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-phase rectifier with 150 A continuous current capacity is required. The 100 V rating defines the maximum blocking voltage limit. Consider the DO-205AA-2 package constraints for mechanical integration. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements based on the 200 °C maximum operating temperature specification.
