1N3293AR

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3293AR is a silicon standard recovery rectifier housed in a DO-8 stud mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and supports a continuous forward current of 100 A. The device withstands a non-repetitive surge forward current of 2300 A under half-sine wave conditions. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse current of 17 mA at rated voltage and junction temperature, with a forward voltage drop of 1.5 V at 100 A. Thermal resistance from junction to case is specified at 0.40 °C/W. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for robust transient handling
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge
• Standard polarity configuration with cathode stud

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power conversion systems
• General purpose rectification circuits
• High current DC power supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official documentation to confirm terminal configuration. The 'R' designation indicates reversed leads where the stud functions as the anode rather than the cathode. Confirm mounting hardware compatibility with the DO-8 package dimensions prior to integration into assembly processes.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high current handling and rugged thermal performance. Ensure the system design accommodates the 0.40 °C/W thermal resistance and maintains the junction temperature within the specified operating limits. Verify that the 600 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the maximum circuit peak inverse voltage.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N3289A through 1N3294A series of silicon standard recovery diodes manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series covers a voltage range from 200 V to 800 V, all sharing identical physical packaging and thermal characteristics while varying in breakdown voltage ratings.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 1N3291AR and 1N3294AR. These parts share the DO-8 package and 100 A current rating but differ in their specific voltage ratings.
