S16DR

Single Diodes Overview

The S16DR is a silicon standard recovery diode from the S16B through S16JR series, manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. It features a DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud mount package with a continuous forward current rating of 16 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C and exhibits a forward voltage of 1.1 V at 16 A. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 2.50 °C/W.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge capability for handling transient currents
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge
• Standard polarity configuration with cathode stud

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• Reverse polarity protection applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' indicates reversed polarity where the stud functions as the anode rather than the cathode. Confirm the manufacturer designation aligns with GeneSiC Semiconductor specifications. Ensure the DO-4 package dimensions match the required mechanical constraints for the intended mounting application.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 A continuous current rating and 200 V blocking voltage are required in a stud-mount configuration. Consider the thermal resistance of 2.50 °C/W for heatsinking calculations. Evaluate the high surge capability if the circuit experiences significant non-repetitive current spikes during startup or fault conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the S16B through S16JR family of silicon standard recovery diodes. The series offers various voltage ratings from 100 V to 600 V while maintaining a consistent 16 A current capacity and DO-4 package form factor across all variants.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other S16D or S16DR equivalents from different manufacturers that meet the 16 A, 200 V, and DO-4 package specifications. Verify pinout compatibility regarding the stud polarity before substitution.
