BA158-AP

Overview

The BA158-AP is a single-element silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features glass passivation for environmental protection and is housed in the DO-41 axial leaded package. The component is rated for a continuous forward current of 1 Ampere and offers a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 Volts. Designed for general-purpose applications, it provides reliable performance with low leakage current characteristics suitable for various electronic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated structure for enhanced durability
• Low leakage current operation
• Epoxy material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating

Applications

• General purpose rectification
• Power supply circuits
• Inverter freewheeling diodes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging options. Ensure the DO-41 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1A current rating and 600V reverse voltage are required in an axial package. Compare thermal resistance values against similar DO-41 diodes from other manufacturers. Consider the glass passivation benefits over standard epoxy passivation for improved reliability in harsh environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BA15x series of fast recovery rectifiers from MCC. The series typically spans voltage ratings from 400V to 1000V while maintaining a consistent 1A forward current capability. The BA158 variant specifically targets the 600V application segment within this standardized product line.

Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N4007 series for lower speed applications or other 1A 600V DO-41 rectifiers. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure replacement components meet the same voltage and current derating requirements.
