1N5550 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 1N5550 is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is designed for general purpose rectification in circuits requiring a working peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward current of 3 A. The diode features a forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at 9 A and a reverse recovery time of 2 µs, classifying it as a standard recovery type.

 

The device is housed in a hermetically sealed voidless-glass B Axial package with through-hole mounting, making it suitable for high-reliability applications. The operating junction temperature range spans -65°C to 175°C, providing robust performance under extreme conditions. The diode also offers a high surge current capability of 100 A (8.3 ms half sine).

 

Common applications include power supply rectification, bridge rectifiers, catch diodes, and other general purpose AC-to-DC conversion circuits where fast switching is not required.
