1N5401GP-AP

Overview

The MCC 1N5401GP-AP is a 3 Amp glass passivated silicon rectifier with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100V. It features a DO-201AD axial leaded package and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The device supports a maximum average forward current of 3.0A at 105°C ambient temperature and withstands a peak forward surge current of 200A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1V at 3.0A, a typical junction capacitance of 40pF measured at 1.0MHz, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0μA at rated blocking voltage.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction ensures high reliability and low leakage current performance.
• Epoxy material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings for enhanced safety compliance.
• Lead-free finish and RoHS compliant manufacturing process.

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Bridge rectifiers for AC to DC conversion
• Polarity protection in electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging type, as the AP suffix indicates Ammo Packing containing 1.2Kpcs per box. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts with full traceability and adherence to MCC quality standards. Confirm halogen-free requirements if applicable by checking for the additional HF suffix designation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100V reverse voltage rating and 3A continuous forward current capability are required. The DO-201AD through-hole package is suitable for standard PCB mounting. Consider the thermal resistance of 30°C/W and derating curves for high-temperature environments. Verify that the standard recovery characteristics align with the switching frequency requirements of the target application circuit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5400GP through 1N5408GP series manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V while maintaining consistent 3A current handling capabilities across all variants. The GP suffix designates RoHS compliance, while the AP suffix specifically denotes the Ammo Pack packaging format used for automated or bulk assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N5401 equivalents ensuring identical 100V VRRM and 3A IF(AV) ratings. Verify package compatibility with DO-201AD dimensions and lead spacing. Check for matching electrical parameters such as forward voltage drop and reverse leakage current to ensure circuit performance consistency.
