1N5407RL

Overview

The onsemi 1N5407RL is an axial-lead standard recovery rectifier designed for power supply applications. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 3.0 Amperes and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 800 Volts. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +170°C and withstands a non-repetitive peak surge current of 200 Amperes. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.0 Volt at 3.0 Amperes and a maximum reverse current of 100 microamperes at 150°C. The component utilizes a void-free plastic package compliant with UL 94V-0 flammability standards.

Feature Summary

• High current capability combined with high surge current capacity
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• Void-free economical plastic package meeting UL 94V-0 flammability classification

Applications

• Power supplies
• General purpose rectification in electronic circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RL confirms tape and reel packaging containing 1200 units per reel, distinct from bulk box quantities. Confirm the part number matches the 1N5407 voltage rating of 800 Volts rather than other series variants. Ensure the manufacturer source is identified as onsemi or its authorized distribution channels to guarantee component authenticity and datasheet alignment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with 800 Volts reverse voltage and 3.0 Amperes continuous current is required. The axial lead configuration suits through-hole mounting methods. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and derating curves for capacitive loads if operating conditions exceed standard resistive load parameters.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5400 through 1N5408 series of axial-lead standard recovery rectifiers manufactured by onsemi. The 'RL' suffix specifically denotes the tape and reel shipping format, while the base 1N5407 designation identifies the 800 Volt reverse voltage rating within the family.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 1N5407 (bulk) and generic equivalents such as 1N5408 or 1N5406 provided they meet the 800 Volt minimum reverse voltage requirement and 3.0 Ampere current rating specifications.

FAQ

What is the maximum average forward rectified current for the 1N5407RL?

The maximum average forward rectified current is 3.0 Amperes under single-phase, half-wave, 60 Hz resistive or inductive load conditions.

How does the 1N5407RL perform under capacitive loads?

For capacitive loads, the forward current must be derated by 20% compared to the rated resistive load conditions.
