1N4153

Single Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N4153 is a small signal rectifier diode manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, housed in a DO-35 glass axial leaded package. It features a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 75 V and an average forward current rating of 200 mA. The device supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current up to 4.0 A for microsecond pulses. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 50 nA at 50 V and a typical reverse recovery time of 4 ns. Thermal performance allows for a junction temperature of 175 °C with a power dissipation capacity of 500 mW.

• High-speed switching applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as the datasheet indicates Fairchild Semiconductor production while the brand is listed as onsemi following corporate acquisition. Confirm the specific revision status (Rev. C) and ensure the component meets the required absolute maximum ratings for your operating environment. Check for RoHS compliance status if applicable to your manufacturing standards.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a fast-switching silicon diode with a 75 V reverse voltage rating is required. It is suitable for low-power applications where a 200 mA average forward current is sufficient. Consider the DO-35 through-hole package for standard PCB layouts requiring axial leads. Ensure the design accounts for the 500 mW power dissipation limit under ambient conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N4153 belongs to the family of general-purpose small signal diodes designed for high-speed switching. Manufactured originally by Fairchild Semiconductor, it utilizes a silicon planar structure within a glass DO-35 package. This component serves as a reliable solution for rectification and clamping tasks in consumer electronics and industrial control systems requiring moderate voltage handling.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists from onsemi or Fairchild Semiconductor for verified substitutes. Generic equivalents may vary in reverse recovery time or leakage current specifications.
