RL102-BP

Single Diodes Overview

The RL102-BP is a single-element silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features an average forward current of 1 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device utilizes the A-405 axial leaded package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A and a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 µA at rated voltage. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Metalurgically bonded construction ensures robust mechanical integrity
• Molded case meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating requirements
• Low current leakage characteristics for efficient operation
• High surge current capability for transient protection

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Half-wave rectification in AC to DC conversion systems
• Protection against reverse polarity in DC circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix, as MCC designations may vary. Confirm RoHS compliance status and halogen-free availability if required by project specifications. Check the manufacturer's latest documentation for any changes to the pinout or mechanical dimensions before finalizing the bill of materials.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring standard recovery performance with a 100 V blocking voltage. Ensure the circuit design accounts for the 1 A average forward current limit and derating factors for capacitive loads. Verify that the A-405 axial package fits the available PCB real estate and thermal management constraints.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the RL101 through RL107 series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series covers reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 1 A forward current capability. The RL102 specifically addresses the 100 V requirement within this standardized product line.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for verified equivalents. Generic replacements must match the 1 A current rating, 100 V reverse voltage, and A-405 axial package form factor to ensure compatibility.
