1N5416/TR

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5416/TR is a fast recovery rectifier designed for through-hole mounting in the B-Package-2 axial configuration. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward current rating of 3 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 1.5 V at rated current and a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 uA. Its fast recovery time is specified at 150 ns, supporting high-speed switching applications. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C and withstands a maximum surge current of 80 A.

Feature Summary

• Fast recovery performance with a 150 ns reverse recovery time suitable for high-frequency rectification
• High thermal stability enabling operation across an extended junction temperature range from -65°C to +175°C
• Robust surge current handling capability up to 80 A for transient protection

Applications

• High-frequency power supply rectification circuits
• Free-wheeling diode applications in inductive load switching
• DC-DC converter output rectification stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and testing requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts for the B-Package-2 form factor. Confirm that the 100 V reverse voltage rating meets the peak inverse voltage demands of the target circuit design under all operating conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 A current rating and 100 V blocking voltage are required in a standard axial leaded package. The fast recovery characteristic distinguishes it from standard rectifiers, making it appropriate for applications where reverse recovery charge impacts efficiency. Verify that the thermal management strategy supports the specified maximum junction temperature limits during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N54xx series of fast recovery rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. The series provides various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package dimensions. The 1N5416 variant specifically addresses low-voltage, high-current applications requiring rapid switching characteristics compared to general-purpose silicon rectifiers.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent parts with matching electrical parameters and mechanical footprint. Verify that any alternative component maintains the same 150 ns recovery time and 3 A current rating to ensure circuit performance integrity.
