1N5398G-T

Overview

The 1N5398G-T is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a silicon construction housed in a DO-15 (DO-204AC) plastic package with two pins. The device is rated for a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V. It supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose rectification
• High thermal stability with a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 °C
• Robust surge current handling capability up to 50 A
• Molded plastic case with UL flammability classification rating 94V-0

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Free wheeling diode applications
• Low leakage current requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as the part number appears in documentation from multiple vendors including Vishay and Chenyi. Confirm that the Taiwan Semiconductor version matches the required electrical specifications and package dimensions. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable, noting that some generic listings indicate non-compliance status. Request official datasheets to validate the 800 V reverse voltage rating and 1.5 A current capacity before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery diode with an 800 V blocking voltage is required for circuits handling up to 1.5 A continuous current. The DO-15 package provides adequate heat dissipation for through-hole mounting. Consider the 175 °C junction temperature limit for high-temperature environments. Verify that the standard recovery speed meets the switching frequency requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N53xx series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers. It shares the DO-15 package form factor with similar devices like the 1N5397G and 1N5399G. The series is designed for broad industrial and consumer electronics applications requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion or isolation functions.
