1N6652

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N6652 is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed for low-voltage, high-current applications. It features a glass passivated junction and utilizes the DO-35 axial leaded package. The device provides reliable performance in switching and rectification circuits with a forward voltage drop of approximately 1.0 V at rated current and a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at maximum rated DC blocking voltage.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction for enhanced environmental stability
• High surge current capability for robust operation
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• Clamping diodes in protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer lot code and date code upon receipt to ensure compliance with project timelines. Confirm that the component meets the required RoHS or non-RoHS status as specified in the purchase order. Inspect leads for straightness and solderability before assembly to prevent connection failures during wave or reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard small-signal rectifier is required for low-voltage DC applications. Ensure the circuit's peak inverse voltage does not exceed the device's rating. Consider thermal management requirements based on the expected average forward current and ambient operating conditions to maintain reliability over the product lifespan.

Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 1N series of silicon rectifiers, widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems. It serves as a fundamental discrete semiconductor component for converting AC to DC signals. The DO-35 package offers a compact footprint suitable for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N6652 from other manufacturers such as Vishay or ON Semiconductor, provided they meet identical electrical specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution to ensure mechanical fit within the existing design constraints.
