1N4001GPE-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4001GPE-E3/73 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier featuring the Superectifier structure. It provides a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 30 A under standard conditions. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at rated current, a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at 25 °C. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is typically 55 °C/W.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Features a cavity-free glass-passivated junction for high reliability
• Utilizes Superectifier structure to ensure robust performance
• Offers low forward voltage drop and minimal leakage current
• Supports solder dip temperatures up to 275 °C

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter circuits
• Converter applications
• Freewheeling diodes for consumer electronics

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix E3 confirms RoHS compliance and JESD 201 class 1A whisker test adherence. Confirm the /73 designation corresponds to the specified ammo pack delivery mode with the stated base quantity. Ensure the component matches the DO-41 package outline dimensions and lead diameter specifications provided in the datasheet before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V reverse voltage rating is required for general-purpose rectification. The 1.0 A average forward current capability suits low-power consumer applications. Consider the 2.0 μs reverse recovery time for standard frequency operations. Verify thermal management requirements against the 55 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the intended mounting configuration.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N4001GP through 1N4007GP series of glass passivated junction plastic rectifiers. The GP designation indicates the specific Superectifier construction within the broader General Semiconductor diode portfolio. These devices are designed as direct replacements for standard JEDEC registered rectifiers in existing circuit designs requiring reliable single-diode configurations.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N4001 equivalents. Verify that substitute parts meet the same 50 V reverse voltage and 1.0 A forward current ratings. Ensure replacement components support the required DO-41 package dimensions and operating temperature range.
