PX1500G

Single Diodes Overview

The PX1500G is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It features an average forward current rating of 15 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.9 V at 5 A and 1.0 V at 15 A, with a leakage current below 10 µA at 25°C. Peak forward surge currents are rated at 400 A for 50 Hz and 450 A for 60 Hz half-sine waves. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High thermal stability supporting operation up to 175°C
• Robust surge current handling capability
• Low forward voltage drop for efficient power conversion

Single Diodes Applications

• 50/60 Hz mains rectification
• General purpose power supplies
• Polarity protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical characteristics against the official PX1500 datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 600 V reverse voltage rating aligns with your circuit requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to your manufacturing standards. Validate package dimensions and lead spacing for PCB layout compatibility.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 A continuous current capacity and 600 V blocking voltage are required. Consider its standard recovery time for general-purpose applications rather than high-frequency switching. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified thermal resistance values under your expected ambient conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the PX1500 series of silicon rectifier diodes from Diotec Semiconductor. The series covers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 15 A current rating. These components are designed for commercial and industrial grade reliability in standard power electronics applications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the PX1500 series such as PX1500A or PX1500M if different voltage ratings are acceptable. Verify pinout and mechanical footprint compatibility with existing designs before sourcing alternatives.
