1N3294A

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3294A is a silicon standard recovery rectifier housed in a DO-8 stud mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V and a continuous forward current rating of 100 A. The device supports a surge non-repetitive forward current of 2300 A under half-sine wave conditions. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse current of 24 mA at Tj = 130 °C and a forward voltage of 1.5 V at IF = 100 A. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 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 ESD sensitive for simplified handling
• Standard polarity configuration with cathode stud

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power conversion systems
• High voltage rectification circuits
• Power supply units requiring high current capacity

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official documentation to confirm terminal configuration, as the 'R' variant indicates reversed leads where the stud functions as the anode rather than the cathode. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets prior to integration. Ensure mounting hardware matches the specified thread size for secure installation.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high voltage blocking capabilities combined with substantial continuous current handling. The low thermal resistance facilitates efficient heat dissipation in stud-mounted configurations. Consider the operating temperature range when designing thermal management solutions for high-power environments.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N3289A(R) through 1N3294A(R) series of silicon standard recovery diodes. The series offers varying reverse voltage ratings from 200 V to 800 V while maintaining consistent current and thermal characteristics across the lineup.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 1N3289A, 1N3291A, 1N3293A, and 1N3294A, differentiated primarily by their reverse voltage ratings.
