1N5417

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5417 is a single fast recovery rectifier designed for through-hole mounting. It features a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 200 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, with a peak non-repetitive surge current capability of 80 A. The component operates within a temperature range from -65 C to +175 C and utilizes the B-Package-2 axial leaded form factor.

Feature Summary

• Fast recovery characteristics suitable for high-frequency switching applications
• Extended thermal operating range up to +175 C
• High surge current handling capability

Applications

• Switch mode power supplies
• High frequency DC to DC converters
• Free wheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• Polarity protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., TR, US) as it dictates package type and reel quantity. Confirm RoHS status and manufacturing origin. Check lead times due to potential long delivery periods. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB mounting style.

Selection Notes

Select based on the required reverse voltage margin and forward current capacity. Consider the package style (axial vs. surface mount) for board layout constraints. Verify thermal derating requirements if operating near the maximum junction temperature limit.

Part Context

This component belongs to the standard 1N54xx series of fast recovery rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. It serves as a general-purpose high-speed diode for power conversion tasks requiring rapid switching performance and robust thermal stability.

Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N5417US/TR for surface mount variants or other manufacturers' 1N5417 equivalents meeting identical electrical specifications.
