Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage rating required for the application, as the A180 series includes variants with different reverse voltage capabilities. Confirm that the stud mount interface matches the mechanical design of the heat sink or chassis. Ensure compliance with relevant export control classifications such as EAR99 before finalizing procurement documentation.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 150A average current capacity and 400V blocking voltage are required in a stud-mount form factor. Consider the 1.3V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations. Verify that the operating environment supports the specified -40°C to 200°C junction temperature range for reliable long-term performance.

Single Diodes Part Context

The A180D belongs to the A180 family of silicon rectifiers manufactured by Powerex Inc. This series is characterized by high current handling capabilities and durable metal case constructions suitable for demanding industrial environments. The DO-205AA (DO-8) package provides a standardized mounting interface for efficient heat dissipation in power electronics designs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 150A, 400V stud-mount diodes from manufacturers like Mitsubishi or Semikron if sourcing constraints exist. Ensure pinout compatibility and thermal resistance characteristics match the original design requirements before substitution.
