1N5392GH

Overview

The 1N5392GH is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features an axial DO-15 (DO-204AC) plastic package with isolated terminals. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 amperes and offers a repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 100 volts. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 amperes, a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.4 volts at rated current, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 microamperes. The component operates within a junction temperature range up to 175 degrees Celsius.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes glass passivation for the junction to ensure high reliability and environmental stability
• Features a cavity-free construction utilizing void-free molded plastic technique
• Provides low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage current characteristics
• Supports high forward surge capability for robust performance in power applications

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter circuits
• Converter systems
• Freewheeling diode applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix GH corresponds to the intended packaging configuration and material composition as defined by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. Confirm compliance with relevant environmental standards such as RoHS or REACH requirements prior to procurement. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact voltage and current ratings required for the target circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring a 100-volt reverse blocking capability with a 1.5-ampere continuous current load. The DO-15 package provides adequate thermal dissipation for general-purpose applications. Consider the 175-degree Celsius maximum junction temperature for high-temperature environments. Verify lead solderability specifications against assembly process requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N539x series of general-purpose rectifiers, which covers a voltage range from 50 to 1000 volts. The 1N5392 variant specifically denotes the 100-volt rating within this family. These diodes are widely used in industrial and consumer electronics for standard rectification tasks where moderate surge currents and reliable operation are required.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5392 variants such as Vishay's 1N5392/100 or LRC's 1N5392. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same DO-15 package dimensions, 1.5-ampere current rating, and 100-volt reverse voltage specification.
