A115E

Overview

The A115E is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Harris Corporation, belonging to the A115 series. It features a through-hole package design suitable for standard PCB mounting. The component is rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 500 V and an average forward rectified current of 3 A at 25°C ambient temperature. These electrical specifications define its operational limits for power conversion applications.

Feature Summary

• General-purpose rectification capability
• Through-hole mounting configuration

Applications

• Power supply circuits
• General electronic equipment rectification

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Harris Corporation merged with L3 Technologies in 2019 to form L3Harris Technologies. Confirm that the part number corresponds to the original Harris specification sheet dated 1993. Ensure the device matches the 500V 3A rating and through-hole package type required for your specific circuit design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 500V reverse voltage rating and 3A continuous current capacity are required for general-purpose rectification. The through-hole package is appropriate for applications requiring robust mechanical mounting. Verify thermal management requirements for the 3A load under expected operating conditions.

Part Context

The A115E is part of the Harris Corporation A115 series of general-purpose diodes. Harris Corporation was a prominent American technology company specializing in defense and information technology before merging with L3 Technologies. This series was documented in datasheets from the early 1990s, establishing its historical use in industrial and military-grade electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for the Harris A115E are not available in the provided source material. Cross-referencing should be performed using identical electrical ratings (500V, 3A) and package type.
