1N5391GP-AP

Overview

The MCC 1N5391GP-AP is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50V. The device utilizes glass passivation for junction protection and is housed in a DO-15 axial leaded package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC reverse voltage of 50V, a forward voltage of 1.4V at 1.5A, and a leakage current of 5µA at 50V. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction provides stable performance and low leakage current
• High current capability with 1.5A average forward rectified current rating
• Molded plastic case meets UL flammability classification rating 94V-0

Applications

• General purpose rectification
• Power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration when ordering, as the AP designation indicates compliance status distinct from other variants in the series. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements against project specifications. Check manufacturer documentation for any recent packaging updates or labeling changes that may affect assembly processes. Ensure the DO-15 package dimensions match the target PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring reliable 50V blocking capability with moderate current handling. The DO-15 package offers robust mechanical stability for through-hole mounting. Consider the standard recovery speed for lower frequency applications where fast switching is not critical. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 1.5A continuous current rating and ambient operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5391GP through 1N5399GP series of glass passivated rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers a voltage range from 50V to 1000V while maintaining a consistent 1.5A current rating. The GP suffix typically denotes glass passivation technology, distinguishing it from epoxy-based packages in terms of environmental resistance and junction stability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 1N5391GP-E3/54 from Vishay Semiconductors and the 1N5391 from Diotec Semiconductor. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions (DO-15) when cross-referencing these alternatives. Ensure electrical parameters such as reverse voltage and forward current meet or exceed the original design requirements.
