1N4001GPEHE3/91

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4001GPEHE3/91 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 exhibits a typical reverse leakage current of less than 0.1 μA and supports a peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine-wave pulse. Operating within a junction temperature range of -65 to +175 °C, it utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy package with matte tin-plated leads.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure designed for high reliability applications
• Cavity-free glass-passivated junction construction
• Low forward voltage drop characteristics
• Low leakage current performance

Single Diodes Applications

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

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix E3/91 against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance status and delivery mode. The datasheet indicates RoHS compliance for the base part number but requires confirmation that the specific suffix matches the intended packaging quantity and material categorization requirements for your supply chain.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside standard 1 A continuous current handling. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -65 to +175 °C operating junction temperature range. Verify that the DO-41 package dimensions and lead spacing align with the target PCB layout constraints before finalizing the design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001GP series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series shares identical mechanical and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings which range from 50 V to 1000 V across the family variants.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1N4001 series rectifiers from different manufacturers provided they meet the same 1.0 A forward current and 50 V reverse voltage specifications. Ensure any replacement maintains the DO-41 package form factor and similar thermal resistance values to preserve circuit performance.
