6A2

Overview

The MCC 6A2 is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed for high current applications. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 6.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. The device utilizes an R-6 axial leaded package with void-free molded plastic construction. Electrical characteristics include a low instantaneous forward voltage drop of 0.95 V at rated current and a typical junction capacitance of 150 pF. It supports a peak forward surge current of 400 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• High current capability with 6.0 A average forward rectified current rating
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• High surge current capability supporting 400 A non-repetitive peaks
• Void-free molded plastic case with UL 94 V-0 flammability classification

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Battery charging circuits
• DC output rectification in AC-to-DC converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix required for your packaging needs, such as -TP for tape and reel or -BP for bulk packing. Confirm compliance requirements including RoHS status and halogen-free availability if specified by adding the -HF suffix. Ensure procurement from authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts and full traceability, as unauthorized sources may not provide warranty coverage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust 6 A rectifier with a 200 V blocking voltage is required. The R-6 through-hole package suits designs needing mechanical stability and easy manual assembly. Consider the thermal resistance of 10°C/W and derating curves for ambient temperatures exceeding 60°C. This part is suitable for resistive or inductive loads operating at standard line frequencies.

Part Context

The 6A2 belongs to the 6A05 through 6A10 series of 6 Amp rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. This family offers varying reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent current handling and physical dimensions. The series is engineered for reliability in standard industrial and consumer electronic applications requiring efficient AC to DC conversion.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 6 A, 200 V rectifier diodes in the R-6 axial package. Verify that substitute components match the 0.95 V forward voltage drop and 400 A surge current capabilities. Ensure the replacement maintains the same thermal resistance and junction temperature limits for equivalent performance.
