1N4001GP-M3/54

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4001GP-M3/54 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode belonging to the 1N4001 series. It features a DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy body with matte tin-plated leads. The device provides a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage, and a typical junction capacitance of 15 pF. It supports a peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine wave and operates within a junction temperature range of -50 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix M3/54 corresponds to the specific package code and delivery mode required for your assembly process. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details against the latest Vishay documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery time is sufficient for low-frequency AC-to-DC conversion tasks. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the specified thermal resistance values and derating curves for ambient temperatures exceeding 75 °C to maintain reliable operation within the rated limits.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N4001 through 1N4007 family of general-purpose silicon rectifiers. These devices share identical mechanical dimensions and forward current ratings but differ in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage capabilities, ranging from 50 V to 1000 V across the series.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N4001 equivalents ensuring matching DO-41 packaging, 1 A current rating, and 50 V reverse voltage specifications. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprint and soldering profiles.
