1N4001GP-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4001GP-E3/73 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier utilizing Superectifier structure for high reliability. It features a cavity-free design and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002. The component operates within a temperature range of -65 to +175 °C, supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V, and handles a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at 75 °C. It exhibits a typical reverse leakage current below 0.1 μA and a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure ensures high reliability in general purpose applications
• Cavity-free glass-passivated junction protects the silicon die
• Low forward voltage drop reduces power loss during conduction
• Matte tin plated leads provide solderability per JESD 22-B102

Single Diodes Applications

• Inverter and converter circuits
• Freewheeling diodes for consumer applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging type. The /73 suffix indicates Ammo Pack delivery mode with a base quantity of 3000 units. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization definitions via official Vishay documentation before procurement. Ensure lead length requirements match the specified JEDEC registered values for thermal ratings.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with low leakage current is required for consumer electronics. The DO-41 package suits through-hole mounting. Verify that the 50 V reverse voltage rating meets the circuit's peak inverse voltage demands. Consider the 175 °C junction temperature capability for high-temperature environments.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001GP series, which includes variants rated from 50 V to 1000 V. All members share identical electrical characteristics except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. The GP designation indicates the Superectifier technology used across the family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 1N4001 series rectifiers from different manufacturers meeting DO-41 specifications. Cross-reference datasheets for exact forward voltage and leakage current tolerances to ensure circuit compatibility.
