1N4001GPE-E3/91

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4001GPE-E3/91 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier belonging to the Superectifier series. It features a cavity-free construction and operates in the DO-41 (DO-204AL) package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A, a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage. It withstands a peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine-wave pulse.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix /91 corresponds to the specific delivery mode required by the procurement plan. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization definitions via official Vishay documentation before finalizing orders. Ensure technical parameters match the application requirements.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with a 50 V reverse voltage rating is required. The DO-41 through-hole package facilitates manual or automated insertion. Verify thermal management needs against the specified junction temperature range and thermal resistance values.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N4001GP through 1N4007GP family of general-purpose plastic rectifiers. All members share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating, which varies from 50 V to 1000 V across the series.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N4001 equivalents. Verify pinout polarity and package dimensions match the DO-41 specification. Ensure replacement parts meet the same thermal and electrical ratings.
