1N5408GP-TP

Overview

The MCC 1N5408GP-TP is a glass passivated silicon rectifier designed for general-purpose applications. It features a maximum average forward current of 3.0A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1000V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and exhibits a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1V at 3.0A. Its maximum DC blocking voltage is rated at 1000V, with a corresponding maximum RMS voltage of 700V. The component utilizes a DO-201AD axial leaded package.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction ensures stable electrical characteristics and long-term reliability under various operating conditions.
• Epoxy casing meets UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings, providing enhanced safety and durability in electronic assemblies.
• High current capability combined with low leakage current optimizes performance for efficient power conversion tasks.

Applications

• General-purpose rectification in AC-to-DC power supply circuits
• Bridge rectifier configurations for consumer electronics
• Battery charging systems requiring high surge current handling

Procurement Notes

Verify the authenticity of the 1N5408GP-TP by purchasing exclusively from Micro Commercial Components or their authorized distributors. Counterfeit components are prevalent; unauthorized sources lack traceability and quality assurance. Confirm that the suffix indicates RoHS compliance and check for specific halogen-free requirements if necessary. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the desired packaging format before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with a 1000V rating and 3A continuous current capacity is required. The DO-201AD package suits through-hole mounting for robust mechanical connections. Consider the thermal resistance of 30°C/W for heat dissipation planning. This part is suitable for industrial and commercial equipment where reliable high-voltage rectification is essential.

Part Context

This rectifier belongs to the 1N5400GP series, which covers voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V. The 'GP' suffix denotes glass passivation, while 'TP' specifies tape and reel packaging. The series shares common electrical parameters such as 3A current and 200A surge capability, differentiated primarily by their reverse voltage breakdown thresholds.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1000V, 3A standard recovery rectifiers in the DO-201AD package. Verify that replacement parts match the 1.1V forward voltage drop and 5µA reverse leakage specifications. Ensure the alternative component supports the same -55°C to +150°C operating temperature range for equivalent thermal performance.

FAQ

What does the 'P' suffix indicate in the part number?

The 'P' suffix designates that the component is lead-free finish compliant and meets RoHS standards.

How is the device marked on the casing?

The 1N5408GP device is marked with the letter 'C' on the cathode side of the component body.
