1N5418-TAP

Overview

The Vishay 1N5418-TAP is a fast avalanche sinterglass diode housed in an SOD-64 package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and an average forward current rating of 3 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 3 A and 1.5 V at 9 A, with a reverse recovery time of up to 100 ns. Peak forward surge current capability reaches 100 A for a 10 ms half-sine wave pulse. Operating junction and storage temperatures range from -55 °C to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed glass passivated junction construction
• Soft recovery characteristics for reduced switching noise
• High pulse current handling capability
• Low reverse leakage current

Applications

• Fast rectification circuits
• High-reliability power conversion systems
• General purpose high-voltage rectification

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code matches the required packaging format. Confirm that the component meets all necessary environmental compliance standards for the intended deployment environment. Ensure technical specifications align with circuit requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hermetically sealed, fast-recovery diode with high surge current capability is required. The SOD-64 package suits applications needing axial leads with compact form factors. Verify thermal resistance parameters against the specific mounting conditions to ensure safe operating temperatures under load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5417/1N5418 series of fast avalanche sinterglass diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series provides industry-standard ratings for general-purpose rectification with enhanced reliability due to the voidless-glass construction and hermetic sealing.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 400 V, 3 A fast recovery diodes in the SOD-64 package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values match the existing design constraints before substituting.
