1N3879 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 1N3879 is a silicon fast recovery rectifier diode designed for high surge capability and reliable operation in power conversion circuits. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 50V and a continuous forward current (If) rating of 6A. The diode offers a fast reverse recovery time (Trr) of 200 ns, making it suitable for high-frequency switching applications.

 

Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage drop (Vf) of 1.4V at 6A and 25°C, and a low reverse current (Ir) of 15 µA at 25°C. The device is rated for an operating junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and has a thermal resistance (RthJC) of 2.5 °C/W.

 

The 1N3879 is housed in a DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud mount package, with standard polarity (stud is cathode) and a reverse polarity variant (1N3879R, stud is anode). This package provides robust mechanical mounting and efficient heat dissipation for demanding power applications.
