1N456A/TR

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N456A/TR is a single signal or computer diode manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes a DO-35 axial leaded package for through-hole mounting. The device supports a maximum forward current of 165 mA and features a low reverse leakage current of 1 uA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C with a power dissipation rating of 500 mW.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Single rectifier configuration optimized for signal processing applications
• Glass axial-leaded construction in the DO-35 package
• High thermal stability supporting extended operating temperatures

Single Diodes Applications

• Signal rectification circuits
• Computer logic interface protection
• General-purpose switching applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against the official datasheet before ordering, as packaging variations may exist. Confirm that the DO-35 through-hole form factor aligns with the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the manufacturer source is authenticated to guarantee component traceability and quality standards.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard glass-encapsulated signal diode is required for through-hole assembly. The DO-35 package provides reliable mechanical retention for automated insertion processes. Consider the 500 mW power dissipation limit when designing thermal management strategies for high-density circuit boards.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the broader family of discrete semiconductor diodes produced by Microchip Technology. It serves as a fundamental passive component in electronic assemblies, distinct from voltage reference or power rectification devices. The designation indicates a standard commercial grade variant within the manufacturer's extensive diode portfolio.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Generic equivalents must match the DO-35 package, 165 mA current rating, and 1 uA leakage specifications to ensure functional compatibility without redesigning the host circuit.
