1N6077E3

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N6077E3 is a general-purpose ultra-fast power rectifier diode designed for high-current applications. It features an E, Axial through-hole package and offers a maximum DC reverse voltage of 100 V with a continuous forward current rating of 6 A. The component exhibits a fast reverse recovery time of 30 ns and supports a surge forward current of 75 A. With a low forward voltage drop of 1.76 V at rated current and minimal reverse leakage of 5 µA at 100 V, it ensures efficient power conversion in demanding electronic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast recovery characteristics enable efficient switching performance in high-frequency applications
• Robust axial leaded construction provides mechanical stability for through-hole mounting
• High surge current capability ensures reliability during transient overload conditions

Applications

• General-purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• High-speed switching applications requiring fast recovery times
• Industrial equipment utilizing through-hole mounted power components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., /TR) to confirm packaging format, as standard datasheets may list bulk or reel options. Ensure the procurement source explicitly confirms the Microchip Technology manufacturer origin, as generic part numbers are widely replicated by other vendors. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V reverse voltage rating and 6 A continuous current capacity are required. The 30 ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for higher frequency applications compared to standard rectifiers. Consider the axial package constraints for PCB layout and ensure the thermal management strategy accommodates the 1.76 V forward voltage drop under load.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N6077 series of ultra-fast power rectifiers manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is distinct from transient voltage suppressor variants often found in similar numbering schemes. The component is specifically engineered for robust power rectification rather than signal processing or protection functions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 1N6077E3/TR from authorized distributors. Generic equivalents must match the 100 V, 6 A, and 30 ns specifications precisely. Verify that any replacement maintains the same axial lead configuration and thermal characteristics.
