1N3615

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N3615 is a high-voltage standard recovery rectifier designed for stud-mount applications. It features a DO-203AA-2 (TO-5) package and provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V with an average forward rectified current rating of 1A. The device exhibits a low maximum reverse leakage current of 1mA at rated voltage and maintains a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1V at full load. It supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30A and operates reliably within a junction temperature range from -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code on the component marking against official Microchip documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and material specifications. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability records. Confirm that the physical package dimensions match the required mechanical constraints for the intended stud-mount application before finalizing orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring robust high-voltage handling in a compact stud-mount form factor. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics to ensure adequate heat sinking solutions are implemented for continuous operation. Compare the 1A current rating against peak load requirements to prevent thermal overstress during transient conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the legacy 1N series rectifier family, which has been maintained by Microchip Technology following its acquisition of Microsemi assets. These devices serve as direct replacements for older industry-standard silicon rectifiers in existing designs. The 1N3615 specifically addresses applications needing reliable performance in high-voltage environments where traditional through-hole packages may be insufficient.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct cross-reference equivalents include the 1N3615 from other manufacturers adhering to the same JEDEC outline. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal interface requirements when substituting. Ensure replacement parts meet the same 400V reverse voltage and 1A current ratings.
