DESCRIPTION

The MC5610 through MC5619 series of fast recovery high voltage silicon rectifiers feature the smallest packages available. They are ideal for high reliability where a failure cannot be tolerated. These 0.275 to 0.790 Amp rated rectifiers for working peak reverse voltages from 1500 to 5000 volts are hermetically sealed with voidless-glass construction using an internal “Category I” metallurgical bond. Typical applications include transmitters, power supplies, radar equipment and X-ray machines. Surface mount MELF package configurations are also available by adding “SM” suffix. Microsemi also offers numerous other rectifier products to meet higher and lower current ratings with various recovery time speed requirements including fast and ultrafast device types in both through-hole and surface mount packages.
