1N5408-TP

Overview

The MCC 1N5408-TP is a standard recovery rectifier diode in the 1N5400 series, rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000V and an average forward current of 3A. It utilizes a DO-201AD axial leaded package with a junction temperature range from -65°C to +150°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC blocking voltage of 1000V, a typical forward voltage of 1.0V at 3.0A, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 100µA at 150°C. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 200A for 8.3ms half-sine waves.

Feature Summary

• Low current leakage and low forward voltage drop for efficient power conversion
• Epoxy material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for safety compliance
• Moisture sensitivity level 1 ensures stability during storage and assembly
• Lead-free finish and RoHS compliant construction

Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC/DC power supplies
• Bridge rectifiers for battery chargers
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity by purchasing only from Micro Commercial Components or authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit parts. Confirm the specific suffix matches required packaging, as the -TP designation indicates tape and reel format. Check for halogen-free availability if environmental regulations require it, which necessitates adding the -HF suffix to the part number.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000V reverse voltage rating and 3A continuous current capacity are required in a through-hole axial package. Ensure the application operates within the specified thermal resistance limits and does not exceed the non-repetitive surge current ratings. Consider the -AP or -BP suffixes if bulk or ammo packing is preferred over the standard tape and reel configuration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5400 through 1N5408 series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers reverse voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V, sharing identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics while varying in breakdown voltage specifications. The 1N5408 variant specifically targets high-voltage applications requiring robust surge handling capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N5408 equivalents such as Vishay or Formosa MS. Verify that substitute components match the DO-201AD package outline and maintain equivalent thermal resistance and surge current ratings for direct pin-to-pin replacement.
