A170P

Single Diodes Overview

The A170P is a silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Powerex Inc., designed for high-power applications. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and an average forward rectified current of 100 A. The device utilizes a stud mount configuration within the DO-205AA (DO-8) package, facilitating robust chassis installation. Key electrical characteristics include a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 1200 A at 60 Hz and a maximum RMS on-state current of 100 A. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High current handling capability with 100 A average forward rectified current rating
• Robust surge withstand capacity supporting 1200 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current
• Durable stud mount construction in DO-205AA package for secure chassis integration

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power supply systems requiring high current rectification
• Motor drive circuits and variable frequency drives
• Welding equipment power stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the A170P to confirm exact pinout configurations and thermal resistance values prior to design finalization. Ensure that mounting hardware compatibility matches the stud mount requirements of the DO-205AA package. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product assembly process.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit designs demand a single-phase rectifier capable of sustaining 100 A continuous loads with 1000 V blocking voltage. The stud mount form factor is critical for applications requiring direct thermal coupling to heatsinks or chassis structures. Evaluate thermal management strategies carefully given the high current density and power dissipation inherent in this package type.
