1N5396GP-TP

Overview

The MCC 1N5396GP-TP is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 500 V. The device utilizes a glass passivated junction to ensure stability under various operating conditions. It is housed in a DO-15 (DO-204AC) axial through-hole package, suitable for board mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A at 8.3 ms and a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 500 V. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction provides high reliability and stable performance under varying environmental conditions.
• High current capability with a 1.5 A average forward rectified current rating for robust power handling.
• Low leakage current ensures minimal power loss and efficient operation in reverse bias states.

Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC to DC conversion circuits
• Free wheeling diode applications in inductive load protection
• Power supply input stages requiring standard recovery characteristics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TP' confirms tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by project specifications. Check manufacturer documentation for the most recent lifecycle status, as this component may be subject to design-in restrictions or obsolescence notices. Ensure the DO-15 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring a 500 V reverse voltage rating and 1.5 A continuous current capacity. The standard recovery speed makes it suitable for low-frequency power applications rather than high-speed switching. Consider the thermal management requirements given the 150°C maximum junction temperature limit. Verify that the axial leaded package fits the mechanical constraints of the assembly process.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5396GP series of glass passivated rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers a voltage range from 50 V to 1000 V, with the 1N5396 variant specifically rated for 500 V. These diodes are engineered for general-purpose use, offering a balance of current handling and voltage blocking capabilities in a standard DO-15 plastic encapsulated case.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay 1N5396G or LRC 1N5396G for equivalent electrical specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions (DO-15) before substitution. Ensure the replacement device meets the same 1.5 A current and 500 V voltage ratings.
