1N4001GPE-E3/54

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4001GPE-E3/54 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier featuring the Superectifier structure for high reliability. It provides a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at rated current and maintains low leakage current, typically less than 5.0 μA at 25 °C. Designed for through-hole mounting in DO-41 (DO-204AL) packages, it supports a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 °C and offers high forward surge capability with a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 30 A.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure ensures high reliability and cavity-free glass-passivated junctions
• Low forward voltage drop minimizes power loss during conduction
• Low leakage current typical value below 0.1 μA enhances efficiency
• High forward surge capability withstands transient load conditions

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter and converter circuits
• Freewheeling diodes for consumer applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking manufacturer markings against official datasheet specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the E3 suffix designation. Ensure ordering quantities align with standard reel packaging requirements specified by the distributor. Validate that the DO-41 package dimensions match your PCB footprint constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust general-purpose rectifier with high thermal stability is required. The 1N4001 variant specifically suits circuits requiring a 50 V reverse voltage rating. Consider the Superectifier technology for applications demanding superior reliability compared to standard junctions. Verify lead length requirements for through-hole assembly processes.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N4001GP series, which includes variants ranging from 50 V to 1000 V reverse voltage ratings. All members share identical electrical characteristics except for their blocking voltage capabilities. The GP designation indicates the Superectifier construction, while the E3 suffix confirms lead-free and RoHS compliance. The /54 suffix denotes tape and reel delivery.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include 1N4002GP-E3/54 through 1N4007GP-E3/54, provided the circuit voltage rating accommodates the higher breakdown voltages. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified for matching IF(AV), VRRM, and package compatibility.
