1N5392GP-BP

Overview

The MCC 1N5392GP-BP is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a silicon construction with a glass-passivated junction housed in a DO-15 axial leaded package. The device provides an average forward current of 1.5 A and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A, a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 µA at rated voltage, and a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.4 V at full load. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction structure for high reliability applications
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• Low leakage current performance
• High forward surge capability

Applications

• General purpose rectification
• Free wheeling diode circuits
• Power supply input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BP' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging details and compliance status. Confirm the current lifecycle status, as this part may be marked as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Ensure that the selected variant matches the required DO-15 package dimensions and terminal solderability standards before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V reverse voltage rating and 1.5 A continuous current capacity are required in an axial through-hole package. Consider the 175 °C maximum junction temperature for high-thermal environments. Verify compatibility with standard PCB mounting techniques for DO-15 components and ensure the circuit design accommodates the specified forward voltage drop and surge current limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5392 series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers produced by Micro Commercial Components. It shares the same electrical ratings and physical form factor as other manufacturers' equivalents in the 1N539x family. The GP designation typically indicates a plastic encapsulated version with axial leads, while the BP suffix denotes specific bulk packaging or manufacturing lot variations defined by MCC.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay 1N5392GP/56-E3 or NTE 1N5392 for equivalent specifications. Verify that substitute parts maintain the DO-15 package outline and meet the same MIL-S-19500 environmental standards if applicable.
