A180B

Single Diodes Overview

The A180B is a single silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Powerex Inc. It features a chassis stud mount configuration within the DO-205AA (DO-8) package. The device supports an average forward current of 150A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200V. It operates reliably within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Robust chassis stud mount design for efficient thermal dissipation
• High surge current capability for demanding power applications
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose rectification

Single Diodes Applications

• Industrial power supply rectification
• Motor drive circuits
• Welding equipment power stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage rating suffix, as the A180 series includes variants with different reverse voltages such as 600V, 1000V, and 1600V. Confirm the exact part number matches the required electrical specifications for your circuit design before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current, low-voltage rectifier with stud mounting is required. Ensure the thermal management system can handle the 150A average current. Compare against other A180 series variants if higher voltage blocking is needed.

Single Diodes Part Context

Part of the A180 family of silicon rectifiers from Powerex, designed for industrial power electronics. These components are characterized by their rugged construction and ability to handle high average currents in compact stud-mount packages.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references from manufacturers like Littelfuse or Vishay. Verify that any substitute maintains the 150A current rating and compatible stud mounting dimensions.
