Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Diotec documentation to confirm compliance requirements, such as halogen-free status or automotive qualification. Ensure the requested package matches the DO-204AC specification. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm thermal resistance values and testing conditions before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for standard commercial and industrial applications requiring robust rectification at 50 V. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Confirm that the 1 A continuous current rating aligns with the circuit's operational demands and that the 1500 ns reverse recovery time is sufficient for the intended switching frequency.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001GP through 1N4007GP series of standard recovery rectifier diodes manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. The series covers a voltage range from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 1 A average forward current rating across all variants in the lineup.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Diotec offers the EM513-AQ variant within the same product family. Verify if automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification or halogen-free composition is required for the application when considering alternative Diotec SKUs.
