1N4002/54

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor 1N4002/54 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode belonging to the 1N4001 through 1N4007 series. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at an ambient temperature of 75 °C with 0.375-inch lead length. The device exhibits a maximum 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 and 25 °C. Peak forward surge current capability reaches 30 A for an 8.3 ms single half sine-wave. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -50 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package type, tape-and-reel specifications, and compliance status. Confirm availability and lifecycle status directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as supply conditions may vary by region and date.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for standard low-frequency rectification tasks requiring 100 V reverse blocking capability and 1 A continuous current handling. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified operating junction temperature limits and derating curves provided in the datasheet.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the widely used 1N400x series of silicon rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. These devices are housed in the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial leaded package with a molded epoxy body. The series covers reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V, providing a standardized solution for various power supply applications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other parts within the 1N4001 thru 1N4007 series from Vishay offer identical electrical characteristics except for their reverse voltage ratings. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified for matching current, voltage, and package dimensions.
