3N256 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 3N256 is a 400V, 2A single-phase bridge rectifier diode from On Semiconductor, part of the 3N25x series originally designed by Fairchild Semiconductor. It is housed in a compact KBPM through-hole package, making it suitable for commercial and industrial applications requiring low-cost rectification.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 400V, an average rectified forward current (IF(AV)) of 2A at 50°C (derated above), and a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 60A. The forward voltage drop is typically 1.1V at 3.14A per element, and reverse leakage current is 5µA at 25°C rising to 500µA at 125°C. The device also features a total capacitance of 25pF per leg and an I²t rating of 15 A²s for fusing considerations.

 

Thermal characteristics include a power dissipation of 4.7W and a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 18°C/W per leg when mounted on an 12×12mm PCB pad. The operating junction temperature range is -55°C to 150°C, with storage temperature similarly rated. The device is UL certified (UL #E111753) and claimed RoHS3 compliant, though compliance status is unverified.
