1N3766

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N3766 is a silicon standard recovery diode housed in a DO-5 (DO-203AB) stud package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V and supports a continuous forward current of 35 A at 25 °C. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V under rated conditions and maintains a thermal resistance from junction to case of 0.25 °C/W. Operating temperatures range from -55 °C to 150 °C, with storage capabilities within the same limits.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for handling non-repetitive forward current pulses
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge events
• Stud terminal configuration allows direct mounting to heat sinks

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification circuits
• Power supply input stages
• Industrial equipment power conversion

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific polarity variant required during procurement. Standard versions utilize a cathode stud, while reverse polarity variants feature an anode stud. Confirm the exact suffix designation matches the intended circuit topology to ensure correct electrical orientation and mechanical compatibility with existing mounting hardware.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V blocking voltage is necessary alongside a 35 A continuous current rating. The low thermal resistance facilitates efficient heat dissipation in high-power environments. Ensure the operating junction temperature remains within the specified -55 °C to 150 °C range for reliable performance.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N3765 through 1N3768R series of silicon standard recovery diodes manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series offers varying reverse voltage ratings from 700 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 35 A forward current capacity across all models in the lineup.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 1N3765, 1N3767, and 1N3768 from the same manufacturer series. Verify that the replacement part matches the 800 V reverse voltage requirement and the DO-5 package dimensions for mechanical interchangeability.
