1N5550 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 1N5550 series silicon rectifiers from General Instrument are designed for general-purpose applications requiring high reliability. These rectifiers are housed in a hermetically sealed, glass-passivated package.

 

Key electrical specifications include a peak repetitive reverse voltage ranging from 200V to 1000V, a DC blocking voltage of up to 1000V, and an RMS reverse voltage up to 700V. The average forward current is rated at 3.0A at 55°C, with a peak forward surge current of 100A. Forward voltage drop is 1.0V for devices up to 600V and 1.1V for devices up to 1000V at 3.0A.

 

Thermal characteristics include a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 30°C/W. The operating and storage junction temperature range is -65°C to +200°C. The rectifiers have a reverse recovery time of 2.0µs for voltages up to 600V and 4.0µs for voltages up to 1000V.

 

The 1N5550 series is supplied in the GPR-4AM case, designed for through-hole mounting.
