1N5400GP-TP

Overview

The MCC 1N5400GP-TP is a 3 Amp standard recovery rectifier featuring a glass passivated junction and DO-201AD axial package. It supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 Volts with a maximum RMS voltage of 35 Volts. The device handles an average forward current of 3.0 Amperes at 105°C ambient temperature and withstands a peak forward surge current of 200 Amperes for 8.3 milliseconds. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 Volts, a typical junction capacitance of 40 pF, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 µA at rated blocking voltage.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction ensures reliable operation under high current conditions.
• Epoxy casing meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for enhanced safety compliance.
• Lead-free finish and RoHS compliant design support environmentally conscious manufacturing.

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Bridge rectifiers for AC to DC conversion
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging type, as -TP indicates tape and reel while other suffixes denote different formats. Confirm halogen-free status if required by checking for the additional -HF suffix. Ensure procurement from authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts with full traceability and warranty coverage. Check for any recent product discontinuation notices or lifecycle changes before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 Volt reverse voltage rating is sufficient for the application's peak inverse voltage requirements. The 3 Ampere current capability makes it suitable for moderate power applications requiring standard recovery speeds. Consider the DO-201AD through-hole package for PCB designs accommodating larger footprints. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 30°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance specification.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5400GP through 1N5408GP series, which shares identical physical dimensions and electrical performance except for the reverse voltage rating. The series utilizes the standardized DO-201AD axial leaded package. The 'P' suffix in the base designation indicates RoHS compliance, while the '-TP' suffix specifically defines the tape and reel packaging format for automated assembly.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 3 Ampere current rating and 50 Volt minimum reverse voltage. Verify that substitute components offer comparable forward voltage drop and surge current capabilities. Ensure the replacement package matches the DO-201AD form factor for mechanical compatibility.
