1N4002-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4002-E3/73 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier featuring a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A. It utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) package with matte tin-plated leads. The device exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage, and a typical junction capacitance of 15 pF. Operating temperatures range from -50 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Vishay documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization standards. Ensure that the E3 suffix correctly denotes the required lead finish and whisker test compliance for your assembly process. Cross-reference datasheet revision dates to validate all electrical parameters before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with a 100 V reverse voltage rating is required for general-purpose applications. The DO-41 through-hole package accommodates standard PCB mounting techniques. Verify that the 1.0 A continuous current rating and 30 A surge capability align with the circuit's operational demands and thermal constraints.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N4001 through 1N4007 series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. All members of this family share identical forward current ratings and package dimensions, differing only in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings. The 1N4002 variant specifically provides a 100 V blocking threshold within this standardized lineup.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other manufacturers produce equivalent 1A 100V DO-41 rectifiers. Verify pinout polarity and physical dimensions match the DO-41 outline before substitution.
