1N5396-BP

Overview

The MCC 1N5396-BP is a standard recovery rectifier diode in the 1N5391 through 1N5399 series. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V and a maximum RMS voltage of 280V. The device supports an average forward current of 1.5A at 70°C ambient temperature and can withstand a peak forward surge current of 50A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave pulse. Electrical characteristics include a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0µA at rated blocking voltage and a typical junction capacitance of 20pF measured at 1.0MHz with 4.0V reverse bias.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes glass passivated junction construction for reliable operation across extended temperature ranges.
• Epoxy casing meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for enhanced safety compliance.
• Designed for high current capability with guaranteed high-temperature soldering performance.

Applications

• General purpose silicon rectification in power supply circuits.
• AC to DC conversion in bridge rectifier configurations.
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load switching applications.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation, as packaging formats vary significantly by designation. The -BP suffix indicates bulk packaging containing 500 pieces per box or 25,000 pieces per carton. Confirm RoHS compliance status and halogen-free availability requirements prior to procurement, as these attributes depend on the exact suffix configuration selected for the order.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400V reverse voltage rating and 1.5A continuous forward current are required for general-purpose rectification tasks. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Consider the DO-15 axial leaded package dimensions for mechanical fit and verify thermal resistance constraints if heat dissipation is critical to the circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5391 through 1N5399 series of 1.5 Amp rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers reverse voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V, providing standardized options for various power supply designs. All devices share the same DO-15 molded plastic body and utilize glass passivation technology for consistent electrical performance and reliability across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 1N5396 base specification, including 400V reverse voltage and 1.5A forward current ratings. Verify that substitute components offer equivalent or superior surge current capabilities and operate within the same thermal limits. Cross-reference datasheets to ensure package compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before integration into existing designs.
