1N4001GPE-M3/54

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4001GPE-M3/54 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier in the DO-204AL (DO-41) package. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V and an average forward rectified current of 1.0 A. The device features a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage. It supports a peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine-wave. Operating temperatures range from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix matches the required qualification grade, as M3 indicates commercial grade while HM3 denotes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Confirm compliance requirements such as halogen-free status and RoHS directives against the latest datasheet revision. Ensure ordering quantities align with standard reel or ammo pack packaging configurations provided by the manufacturer.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V reverse voltage rating is sufficient for the circuit design. The 1.0 A continuous current capacity suits general-purpose low-power rectification tasks. Verify thermal management needs based on the specified junction temperature limits and thermal resistance values. Consider the DO-204AL through-hole package constraints for PCB layout and mechanical mounting requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the Vishay 1N400xGP series of Superectifier devices. The series encompasses variants ranging from 50 V to 1000 V reverse voltage ratings, all sharing the same 1.0 A forward current capability and DO-204AL package form factor. The GP designation identifies the glass-passivated junction technology used across these general-purpose rectifiers.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include other 1N400xGP-M3 variants with different voltage ratings, such as 1N4002GP-M3 or 1N4003GP-M3, provided the reverse voltage requirements are met.
