6A4G

Overview

The SMC Diode Solutions 6A4G is a glass passivated silicon rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features an R-6 axial through-hole package and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 6 amperes with a peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of 400 volts. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction provides stable electrical characteristics and protection against mechanical stress.

Applications

• General purpose rectification
• Power supply circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source when sourcing this component, as documentation indicates production by SHUNYE (Shunye Electronics) under the 6A4G designation. Confirm that the part matches the standard SMC Diode Solutions 6A series specifications regarding the R-6 package and 400V rating before integration into designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring robust general-purpose rectification with high surge current capability. The R-6 axial package facilitates easy through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. Ensure the operating voltage does not exceed the 400V peak repetitive reverse voltage limit.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 6A series of single-phase rectifiers manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. The series includes variants ranging from 50V to 1000V reverse voltage ratings, all sharing the same 6A current capacity and R-6 axial leaded package format for consistent mechanical integration across different voltage requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 6A4-T from Micro Commercial Components (MCC), which shares identical electrical ratings and the R-6 axial package configuration.
