A180RM

Single Diodes Overview

The A180RM is a single silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Powerex Inc. It features an average rectified current of 150A and a maximum DC reverse voltage of 600V. The device utilizes a chassis stud mount configuration within the DO-205AA (DO-8) package. It operates with a standard recovery speed exceeding 500ns and maintains a junction temperature range from -40°C to 200°C. The forward voltage drop is specified at 1.3V when conducting 150A, with a reverse leakage current of 20mA at 800V.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage rating required for the application, as datasheets indicate variations such as 600V or 800V within the A180 series. Confirm that the DO-205AA mounting interface matches the heatsink hardware. Ensure the standard recovery characteristics align with the circuit switching frequency requirements before finalizing the component selection.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for high-current applications requiring reliable chassis mounting. The 150A rating supports substantial load currents, while the 200°C junction limit allows operation in elevated thermal environments. Consider the physical dimensions of the DO-205AA package to ensure adequate clearance and mechanical stability within the assembly layout.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the A180 family of silicon rectifiers from Powerex Inc., designed for general-purpose industrial use. The series offers various voltage ratings to suit different circuit demands while maintaining consistent current handling and packaging standards across the product line.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other A180 series variants like A180RN if higher voltage blocking is needed. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting with equivalent chassis-mount diodes from other manufacturers.
