1N5397-AP

Overview

The MCC 1N5397-AP is a standard recovery rectifier diode rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and an average forward rectified current of 1.5A at 70°C ambient temperature. It features a DO-15 axial leaded package with a typical junction capacitance of 20pF measured at 1.0MHz and 4.0V reverse bias. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 50A for an 8.3ms half-sine pulse. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1V at 1.5A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0μA at 25°C, rising to 50μA at 100°C.

Feature Summary

• High current capability with 1.5A average forward rectified current rating
• Low leakage current performance across operating temperatures
• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Half-wave rectification with resistive or inductive loads
• AC to DC conversion applications requiring 600V blocking voltage

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging configuration. The -AP designation indicates Ammo Packing containing 3,000 pieces per box. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure compliance with environmental directives such as RoHS if required by the end application. Request traceability documentation when sourcing from non-direct channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 600V reverse voltage rating and 1.5A continuous current handling. The DO-15 package provides adequate thermal dissipation for general-purpose applications. Consider derating the forward current based on the ambient operating temperature curve provided in the datasheet. Verify that the 1.1V forward voltage drop meets system efficiency requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5391 through 1N5399 series of 1.5 Amp silicon rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers reverse voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V in standardized increments. All devices share identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specification.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 1N5397 equivalents in the DO-15 package. Ensure replacement parts match the 600V reverse voltage and 1.5A forward current ratings. Verify that alternative components meet the same thermal resistance and surge current specifications.
