R712X

Single Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology R712X is a hermetic glass-passivated rectifier diode housed in a TO-3 package. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage of 200V and a continuous forward current rating of 15A. The device supports a 250A surge rating and exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.4V at rated current, with a leakage current of 1mA. Designed for high-reliability environments, it offers VRRM options ranging from 100V to 600V within the series.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as documentation indicates non-compliance. Confirm package type is TO-3 (TO-204AA) and mounting style is screw mount. Ensure ordering suffixes match required voltage ratings within the 100V to 600V range. Check manufacturer lead times as they may extend significantly.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when hermetic sealing and high surge tolerance are critical. The TO-3 package requires appropriate thermal management and mechanical mounting hardware. Consider the 1.4V forward voltage drop for efficiency calculations. Verify that the 200V reverse voltage rating meets circuit requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip R712 series of high-performance rectifiers. The series includes variants like the R711X and standard R712, sharing similar hermetic packaging and glass passivation technologies. These components are designed for demanding applications requiring robust performance under harsh conditions.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other hermetic TO-3 rectifiers with matching electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values. Cross-reference with Microsemi/Microchip legacy parts lists for equivalent hermetic diodes.
