1N6665

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N6665 is a general-purpose single diode housed in the TO-257 package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150V and an average forward rectified current rating of 10A. The device exhibits a maximum DC forward voltage drop of 1V at 6A and a typical reverse recovery time of 35ns, making it suitable for standard rectification applications requiring robust performance.

Feature Summary

• General-purpose rectification capability
• Through-hole TO-257 packaging

Applications

• General purpose rectification circuits
• Power supply input stages
• DC output filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as the 1N6665 designation has been associated with multiple entities including Microsemi and Micrel prior to acquisition by Microchip. Confirm that the received component matches the Microchip Technology datasheet specifications, particularly regarding the 150V rating and TO-257 package dimensions, to ensure compatibility with design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole general-purpose silicon rectifier is required with a 150V reverse voltage rating and 10A continuous current capacity. The TO-257 package provides mechanical stability for board mounting. Ensure the application does not exceed the specified 1V forward voltage drop at 6A or the 35ns reverse recovery time constraints.

Part Context

The 1N6665 belongs to the family of standard junction rectifiers designed for high-current, low-voltage applications. Manufactured by Microchip Technology, it serves as a legacy part number often referenced in industrial and consumer electronics designs requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion components.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 1N66xx series diodes from different manufacturers if Microchip stock is unavailable, ensuring identical TO-257 footprint and electrical ratings.
