Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance status and packaging details. Confirm that the component meets RoHS requirements as indicated by the E3 designation. Ensure the package type matches the required DO-41 form factor. Validate thermal resistance parameters for the intended mounting configuration before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1.0 A continuous current capacity. Consider the low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery time for efficiency in switching applications. Evaluate the operating temperature range to ensure suitability for environments up to 175 °C. Verify lead length requirements for proper heat dissipation and mechanical stability.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N3611GP through 1N3957GP series of glass-passivated plastic rectifiers. These components utilize a Superectifier structure to enhance reliability. The series covers various reverse voltage ratings from 200 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 1.0 A average forward current rating across all variants.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay series include 1N3611GP, 1N3612GP, 1N3613GP, and 1N3614GP, which share identical current and thermal ratings but differ in reverse voltage capabilities.
