1N3295A

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3295A is a silicon standard recovery rectifier diode housed in a DO-8 (DO-205AA) stud mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and supports a continuous forward current of 100 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.5 V at 100 A and a thermal resistance from junction to case of 0.40 °C/W. It withstands a non-repetitive surge current of 2300 A and operates within a junction 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

• General purpose rectification
• Industrial power conversion systems
• Grid infrastructure equipment

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official documentation, as the 'R' designation indicates reversed polarity where the stud functions as the anode rather than the cathode. Confirm that the required voltage rating aligns with the 1000 V specification for the base model. Ensure mounting hardware compatibility with the DO-8 package dimensions before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current, high-voltage silicon rectifier is required for stud-mount applications. The 1000 V rating distinguishes it from higher voltage variants in the series. Consider the 0.40 °C/W thermal resistance for heat sink design. Verify if the standard cathode-stud configuration meets the circuit topology requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N3295A(R) through 1N3297A(R) series of silicon standard recovery diodes manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series covers voltage ratings from 1000 V to 1400 V, all sharing identical physical packages and current capabilities while differing in blocking voltage specifications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 1000 V, 100 A stud-mount diodes in the DO-8 package. Verify thermal resistance and forward voltage characteristics match the original design constraints.
