6A05-TP

Overview

The 6A05-TP is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 6 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device utilizes an R-6 axial through-hole package with a plastic body classified as UL flammability rating 94V-0. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 950 mV at 6 A, a reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 50 V, and a junction capacitance of 150 pF at 4 V and 1 MHz. The component supports a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Standard recovery speed suitable for general-purpose applications
• High forward surge current capability for transient protection
• Void-free molded plastic construction for durability

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• DC output rectification in low-frequency converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging type and compliance status. Confirm RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements prior to procurement. Check for any Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding lead material or assembly source updates. Ensure the selected variant matches the required axial lead length and terminal plating specifications for the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring 6 A continuous current handling at 50 V blocking voltage. The standard recovery characteristic makes it appropriate for frequencies below typical switching ranges. Verify that the thermal management design accommodates the specified junction temperature limits. Consider the axial lead form factor for through-hole mounting constraints in the final assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 6A05-6A10 series of general purpose rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series shares similar mechanical dimensions and basic electrical structures, differentiated primarily by their voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining the 6.0 A current capacity. The R-6 package is a standard industry form factor for high-current axial diodes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 6 A current rating, 50 V reverse voltage, and R-6 axial package. Verify that alternative components meet the same standard recovery time and forward voltage drop specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
