6A4G-TP

Overview

The MCC 6A4G-TP is a glass passivated junction rectifier designed for general-purpose applications. It features a standard recovery time exceeding 500ns and supports an average forward rectified current of 6A. The device withstands a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V with a maximum DC reverse voltage rating of 400V. Reverse leakage current is limited to 10µA at 400V, while junction capacitance measures 150pF at 4V and 1MHz. Packaged in the axial R-6 through-hole format, it operates within a temperature range from -55°C to +175°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and protects against external physical stress
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose rectification tasks
• High thermal stability enables reliable operation across extended temperature ranges

Applications

• General-purpose rectification in power supplies
• Bridging circuits in AC-to-DC conversion systems
• Protection diodes in relay and solenoid driver circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variations such as 6A4-TP may exist within the product family. Confirm package type and electrical ratings against the official datasheet before integration. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by your manufacturing standards. Check component status regularly, as availability and lifecycle stages can change without prior notice.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring robust 6A continuous current handling with 400V blocking capability. The R-6 through-hole package facilitates easy manual assembly or wave soldering processes. Consider the standard recovery speed for non-high-frequency applications where switching losses are less critical than cost efficiency and ruggedness.

Part Context

This part belongs to Micro Commercial Components' line of glass passivated rectifiers. These devices utilize silicon planar technology to ensure high reliability and consistent performance. The series is engineered for durability in demanding environments, offering a balance between electrical specifications and mechanical resilience for widespread industrial use.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 6A 400V standard recovery rectifiers in similar packages. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal dissipation requirements when cross-referencing with competitors. Ensure replacement parts meet or exceed the original 175°C maximum junction temperature rating.
