A170RP

Single Diodes Overview

The A170RP is a single-phase, standard reverse polarity silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Powerex Inc. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage of 1000 V and an average rectified current of 100 A. The device exhibits a forward voltage of 1.3 V at 100 A and a reverse leakage current of 20 mA at its rated voltage. Designed for robust power applications, it operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 200°C. The component utilizes a DO-205AA (DO-8) package with stud mounting capabilities.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm voltage ratings and physical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management solutions due to high current handling. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by specific project regulations. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to ensure parameter consistency.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V reverse voltage rating and 100 A continuous current capacity are required in a stud-mount package. Consider the reverse polarity characteristic as a critical design constraint. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements based on the specified junction temperature limits and ambient conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the A170 series of standard recovery rectifiers from Powerex Inc. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package styles. The A170RP specifically denotes the 1000 V variant with reverse polarity characteristics, distinguishing it from other series members like the A170RB.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for direct equivalents. Verify that any alternative maintains the 1000 V reverse voltage, 100 A current rating, and DO-205AA package footprint. Ensure reverse polarity functionality is preserved in any replacement selection.
