1N3623

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N3623 is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0A. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of approximately 1.1V at rated current and supports a high non-repetitive surge current of up to 30A. Operating within a wide temperature range from -65°C to +175°C, it utilizes the DO-41 axial leaded package for reliable through-hole mounting in power supply and conversion circuits.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the 1N3623 to confirm exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions before integration. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management solutions given the high junction temperature rating. Cross-reference ordering information directly with authorized Microchip distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability of the component batch.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select the 1N3623 when a robust, through-hole rectifier is required for moderate voltage and current levels. Its standard recovery time makes it ideal for lower-frequency applications where fast switching is not critical. Consider its axial package form factor for PCB designs requiring manual assembly or high mechanical strength connections compared to surface-mount alternatives.
