1N4002GP-M3/54

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4002GP-M3/54 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) molded epoxy body with matte tin-plated leads. 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. It supports a peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms single half sine-wave. Operating junction and storage temperatures range from -50 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop
• Low leakage current
• High forward surge capability

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification of power supplies
• Inverters
• Converters
• Freewheeling diodes application

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific M3 suffix against official documentation, as it indicates lead-free composition compliant with EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS). Confirm that the /54 package code corresponds to tape and reel delivery. Ensure the component meets JESD 201 class 1A whisker test requirements if applicable to your supply chain standards.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with a 100 V reverse voltage rating is required. It is suitable for applications needing a 1.0 A continuous forward current in a through-hole DO-41 package. Consider its thermal resistance characteristics and operating temperature limits relative to the ambient environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N400x series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers. The series includes variants with reverse voltages ranging from 50 V to 1000 V. All members share identical mechanical dimensions, current ratings, and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other 1N4002 variants within the same series or equivalent parts from other manufacturers meeting the 100 V, 1 A, DO-41 specification may be considered. Verify that any substitute matches the electrical parameters and physical footprint.
