The 1N5618 is a standard recovery glass rectifier designed for high-reliability applications. It provides a working peak reverse voltage of 600V and a minimum breakdown voltage of 660V. This device is rated for an average rectified forward current of 1.0A at 55°C and can handle a maximum surge current of 30A. Key characteristics include a low reverse current of 0.5 µA at 25°C and a reverse recovery time of 2.0 µs. Due to its robust, hermetically sealed construction and military qualification, the 1N5618 is ideal for general rectifier applications like bridges, half-bridges, and catch diodes in demanding environments.
