1N5397-BP

Overview

The MCC 1N5397-BP is a standard recovery silicon rectifier in the DO-15 axial package. It supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and an average forward current of 1.5A at 70°C ambient temperature. The device features a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1V at 1.5A, with a typical junction capacitance of 20pF measured at 1.0MHz. It withstands a peak forward surge current of 50A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave pulse. Electrical characteristics are specified at 25°C unless otherwise noted.

Feature Summary

• High current capability with 1.5A operation at 70°C without thermal runaway
• Low leakage current performance across operating temperatures
• Epoxy casing meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating
• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• General-purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Bridge rectifier configurations
• Freewheeling diode applications in inductive loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging format. The -BP suffix indicates bulk packaging containing 500 pieces per box or 25,000 pieces per carton. Confirm compliance requirements such as halogen-free status if needed by checking for the additional -HF suffix. Ensure the component source is authorized to guarantee traceability and adherence to quality standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V blocking voltage and 1.5A continuous current rating are required in a through-hole DO-15 package. Consider the 1.1V forward voltage drop and 26°C/W thermal resistance for thermal management calculations. Verify that the 50A surge current capacity meets the circuit's transient requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5391 through 1N5399 series of general-purpose rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. All devices in this series share identical electrical ratings except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage, which varies from 50V to 1000V depending on the specific model number.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering the JEDEC registered 1N5397 designation. Ensure replacement parts match the DO-15 package dimensions and maintain equivalent voltage and current ratings.
