1N3671AR

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3671AR is a silicon standard recovery diode housed in a DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V and supports a continuous forward current of 12 A. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C and offers high surge capability with a non-repetitive forward current rating of 240 A. The 'R' suffix indicates reverse polarity, where the stud terminal functions as the anode.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge current capability for robust transient handling
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge events
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose applications

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power supply rectification
• General purpose DC-DC conversion stages
• Inverter and converter circuits requiring high voltage blocking

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'AR' corresponds to the reverse polarity configuration where the stud serves as the anode. Confirm the specific thermal resistance requirements match your heatsink design, as junction-to-case thermal management is critical for maintaining performance at the maximum rated current. Ensure the DO-4 mounting interface aligns with your mechanical assembly constraints.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V blocking voltage and 12 A continuous current are required in a stud-mounted form factor. Consider the reverse polarity option if system grounding requires the stud to be connected to the positive rail. Evaluate the thermal resistance specifications against your cooling strategy to ensure reliable operation within the specified temperature limits.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N3671A through 1N3673AR series of silicon standard recovery diodes. These devices are designed for high reliability in demanding environments, offering consistent electrical characteristics across the product line. The series provides options for different voltage ratings while maintaining similar physical dimensions and mounting configurations.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering DO-4 stud mounted silicon standard recovery diodes with equivalent 800 V and 12 A ratings. Verify pinout compatibility, specifically ensuring the stud polarity matches the original design intent.
