1N3296AR

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3296AR 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 1200 V and a continuous forward current rating 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. Operating temperature ranges from -55 °C to 150 °C, with a non-repetitive surge current capability of 2300 A.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official documentation to confirm terminal configuration. Standard versions utilize a cathode stud, while 'R' variants feature reversed polarity with an anode stud. Ensure compatibility with mounting hardware specifications before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for high-voltage applications requiring reliable standard recovery characteristics. The low thermal resistance supports effective heat management in stud-mounted configurations. Verify that the required reverse voltage rating meets or exceeds the system's peak operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N3295A(R) through 1N3297A(R) series of silicon standard recovery diodes. The series covers voltage ratings from 1000 V to 1400 V, all sharing identical mechanical dimensions and thermal profiles within the DO-8 package family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 1200 V, 100 A stud-mount diodes in the DO-8 package. Verify matching thermal resistance and forward voltage characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility.
