1N5408GP-AP

Overview

The MCC 1N5408GP-AP is a glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and an average forward current of 3.0A at 105°C ambient temperature. It features a DO-201AD axial leaded package with a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1V at 3.0A. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 200A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave pulse. Operating junction and storage temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C, with a typical junction capacitance of 40pF measured at 1.0MHz.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction provides high reliability and low leakage current characteristics.
• Epoxy casing meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for enhanced safety compliance.
• Lead-free finish and RoHS compliant construction designates environmental adherence.

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 suffix designation when ordering, as the AP suffix indicates ammo packing while TP denotes tape and reel configurations. Confirm halogen-free requirements by checking for the additional HF suffix if mandated by project specifications. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts with full traceability and quality assurance standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust standard recovery performance with a 600V blocking capability. The DO-201AD package suits through-hole mounting where thermal resistance of 30°C/W is acceptable. Consider derating curves for high ambient temperatures exceeding 105°C to maintain safe operating limits within the specified junction temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5400GP through 1N5408GP series of 3 Amp glass passivated rectifiers. The series offers varying reverse voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V, allowing designers to select appropriate breakdown voltages for different circuit requirements while maintaining consistent current handling and package form factors across the family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 3A 600V standard recovery rectifiers in the DO-201AD package. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure equivalent thermal and electrical ratings match the original design constraints before implementation.

FAQ
