1N5712-1E3/TR

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5712-1E3/TR is a small-signal Schottky barrier diode designed for through-hole mounting in the DO-35-2 axial leaded package. It features a single configuration with silicon technology, supporting a maximum average forward current of 75 mA and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 16 V. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of 1 V at rated current and a maximum reverse leakage current of 150 nA. It operates reliably within an extended temperature range from -65°C to +150°C junction temperature. This component is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop characteristic typical of Schottky barrier technology
• High thermal stability suitable for elevated operating temperatures up to 150°C
• Lead-free construction compliant with RoHS directives

Applications

• High-frequency rectification in low-voltage circuits
• Power supply input protection against reverse polarity
• Clamping applications in signal processing paths

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix -1E3/TR confirms the lead-free status and tape-and-reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the DO-35-2 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Ensure the 16 V reverse voltage rating provides sufficient margin for the intended circuit's peak inverse voltage conditions. Validate compliance requirements against project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-loss, high-speed switching diode is required in a through-hole design. The 75 mA current rating suits low-power signal or control applications rather than high-current power delivery. Consider the 16 V voltage limit carefully; higher voltage variants are necessary for mains or industrial bus applications. The wide temperature range supports operation in harsh environments where standard silicon diodes might fail.

Part Context

This part belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5712 series of Schottky barrier diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. It serves as the commercial, lead-free, reel-packaged version of the standard 1N5712 diode. The series is widely recognized for its reliability in general-purpose rectification and switching applications requiring fast recovery characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the non-tape variant 1N5712 for bulk handling or the 1N5712-1 for specific military qualification needs if applicable. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance differences when substituting.
