1N4588R

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor 1N4588R is a silicon standard recovery rectifier housed in a DO-8 package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and a continuous forward current rating of 150 A at a case temperature of 25 °C. The device supports a non-repetitive surge forward current of 3000 A for half-sine wave pulses lasting 8.3 ms. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.5 V at 150 A and 110 °C, with a reverse leakage current of 9.5 mA at 110 °C. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.35 °C/W. Operating and storage temperatures range from -55 °C to 150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering. The base part number indicates standard polarity where the stud functions as the cathode. If reversed polarity is required, ensure the correct variant is selected. Confirm that the DO-8 mounting interface matches the thermal management design. Check datasheet specifications for thermal resistance and voltage ratings against system requirements before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 200 V blocking voltage and 150 A continuous current. Ensure the cooling solution maintains the case temperature within limits to support the rated current. Consider the 0.35 °C/W thermal resistance for heat sink calculations. Verify that the mechanical dimensions of the DO-8 package fit the available mounting space and bolt patterns.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N4588(R) through 1N4593(R) series of silicon standard recovery diodes. The series covers voltage ratings from 200 V to 800 V while maintaining consistent current and thermal characteristics across the lineup. These components are designed for high-power industrial applications using the DO-8 stud mount package.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 200 V, 150 A stud-mount diodes in the DO-8 package. Verify compatibility of pinout orientation and thermal resistance values. Ensure the replacement meets the same surge current and temperature ratings.
