1N4724

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N4724 is a silicon rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features a hermetically sealed construction suitable for harsh environments. The device provides a high surge capability and supports a junction temperature of up to 175 degrees Celsius. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) ranging from 50 to 100 Volts depending on the specific variant, and a continuous forward current rating of 3 Amperes.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction for environmental protection
• High surge current capability
• Supports elevated junction temperatures up to 175°C

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Industrial control systems requiring hermetic sealing
• Automotive electronics operating at high temperatures

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific VRRM voltage rating required for your application, as the 1N4724 designation covers a range from 50V to 100V. Confirm package type and manufacturer specifications against the official datasheet before ordering. Ensure compatibility with high-temperature operational requirements given the 175°C junction limit.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when hermetic sealing and high thermal stability are critical. The 3A current rating suits moderate power applications. Compare variants within the 50V to 100V VRRM range to match circuit voltage constraints. Consider alternative packages if surface mount is preferred over axial leaded formats.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N4724 belongs to the standard silicon rectifier family produced by Microchip Technology and its predecessor Microsemi. These devices are widely used in industrial and military applications due to their robust construction. The part number represents a specific class of axial leaded diodes known for reliability under stress.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check equivalent parts from other manufacturers such as New Jersey Semiconductor or Microsemi directly. Ensure substitute components match the 3A current rating and hermetic seal requirement. Verify that the replacement offers the same VRRM range of 50V to 100V.
