A170PD

Single Diodes Overview

The Powerex A170PD is a standard recovery rectifier diode housed in a DO-205AA (DO-8) base mount package. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage of 1400 V and an average forward current rating of 100 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 1.3 V at 100 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 20 mA at 1400 V. Operating junction temperature ranges from -40°C to +200°C, with a standard recovery speed exceeding 500 ns.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing lot date code against project requirements before procurement. Confirm that the DO-205AA mounting interface matches the mechanical design constraints. Ensure thermal management solutions accommodate the specified junction temperature limits during operation. Validate compliance with RoHS3 standards if required by the final assembly specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when applications demand high voltage isolation combined with substantial continuous current capacity. The standard recovery characteristic suits lower frequency switching environments rather than high-speed converters. Evaluate the base mount package compatibility with existing heatsinking infrastructure. Consider the 200°C junction limit for high ambient temperature operational scenarios.
