1N3623R

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N3623R is a silicon power rectifier diode manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features an average rectified current of 16A and a maximum DC reverse voltage rating of 800V. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.2V at 50A and belongs to the standard recovery speed category with a reverse recovery time exceeding 500ns. It is housed in a DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud mount package, designed for high-voltage rectification applications requiring robust thermal performance.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction for enhanced reliability
• Stud mount configuration for efficient heat dissipation
• High surge current rating capability

Single Diodes Applications

• High-voltage power supply rectification
• Industrial power conversion systems
• General-purpose high-current rectification circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as multiple suppliers list this part. Confirm the specific voltage rating (800V vs 500V) matches your design requirements. Ensure the DO-4 package type is compatible with your mounting hardware. Request official datasheets from authorized distributors to validate electrical specifications before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring 16A continuous current handling with 800V blocking capability. The standard recovery characteristic makes it suitable for lower-frequency AC-to-DC conversion. Consider the stud mount package for applications necessitating direct heatsink attachment rather than PCB surface mounting.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the general-purpose silicon power rectifier family. It utilizes glass passivation technology to protect the PN junction. The DO-4 package provides a standardized mechanical interface for industrial equipment. It serves as a discrete solution for high-power density designs where integrated solutions are insufficient.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 16A 800V DO-4 rectifiers. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values. Ensure substitute parts meet or exceed the 1.2V forward voltage drop specification. Check for equivalent surge current ratings to maintain circuit protection levels.
