1N5396GP-AP

Overview

The MCC 1N5396GP-AP is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features a single-phase, one-element silicon construction housed in a DO-15 plastic package with an isolated case configuration. The device supports a maximum average forward current of 1.5 A and offers a repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 500 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to 175 °C and withstands a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction structure for enhanced environmental stability
• High current capability suitable for demanding power applications
• Low leakage current characteristics for efficient operation

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Micro Commercial Components documentation to confirm compliance status and packaging type. Confirm that the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable to the target assembly. Ensure the DO-15 package dimensions align with the printed circuit board layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust 1.5 A rectifier with a 500 V reverse voltage rating is required. The DO-15 axial leaded package provides reliable through-hole mounting capabilities. Consider the 175 °C maximum junction temperature rating for high-temperature operational environments where standard silicon limits may be exceeded.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5391GP through 1N5399GP series manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series utilizes glass passivation technology to protect the silicon junction. These rectifiers are engineered for durability and consistent performance across various industrial and commercial electronic systems requiring standard recovery characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay 1N5396GP/64 or 1N5396GP/91-E3 for equivalent electrical specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal management requirements when substituting with other manufacturers' DO-15 rectifiers.
