1N5620/TR

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5620/TR is a standard recovery rectifier designed for through-hole mounting in an A-Package-2 (DO-204AH) axial leaded configuration. It features a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 800 V and supports a continuous forward current of 1 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 1.3 V at rated current and maintains a low reverse leakage current of 500 nA. With a maximum surge current capability of 30 A and a reverse recovery time of 2 µs, it operates reliably within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C.

Feature Summary

• High thermal stability with a maximum operating junction temperature of +200°C
• Robust surge handling capability for transient load protection
• Low reverse leakage current for efficient blocking performance
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose rectification

Applications

• Industrial power supply rectification circuits
• High-voltage DC conversion stages
• Automotive electronics requiring extended temperature ranges
• Military and aerospace power management systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variations such as JAN or JANS indicate different qualification levels including military or space-grade standards. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as certain variants may not meet environmental directives. Ensure the procurement channel provides traceability documentation required for regulated industries. Check current production lifecycle status to avoid obsolescence risks during long-term deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when applications demand high voltage blocking capabilities combined with extreme temperature resilience. The 800 V rating distinguishes it from lower-voltage counterparts in the series. Consider the 2 µs recovery time against faster alternatives if switching frequency increases significantly. The axial package facilitates manual assembly or wave soldering processes where surface-mount options are unsuitable.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N56xx series of standard recovery rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent current and package specifications. The 1N5620 variant specifically targets mid-to-high voltage applications requiring reliable performance under harsh environmental conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1N5620 variants from different manufacturers meeting identical electrical specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substitution. Alternative parts must support the same 800 V reverse voltage and 1 A forward current ratings.
