1N4002GP-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4002GP-E3/73 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier featuring the Superectifier structure. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at 75 °C with 9.5 mm lead length. The device exhibits a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage. Peak forward surge capability reaches 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine-wave pulse. Operating junction temperature ranges from -65 to +175 °C, housed in a DO-41 (DO-204AL) package.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging configuration. The /73 designation indicates ammo pack delivery, while other suffixes may denote tape and reel formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details directly from the manufacturer datasheet 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. Ensure the application operates within the specified thermal limits and utilizes appropriate lead lengths for derating calculations. Verify that the single circuit configuration aligns with the system design requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N4001GP through 1N4007GP series of glass passivated junction plastic rectifiers. All variants share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating. The GP designation identifies the Superectifier technology used within this product family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay series include 1N4001GP-E3/73, 1N4003GP-E3/73, 1N4004GP-E3/73, 1N4005GP-E3/73, 1N4006GP-E3/73, and 1N4007GP-E3/73. These parts maintain identical physical form factors and current ratings but differ in their voltage blocking capabilities.
