1N4002GPE-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4002GPE-E3/73 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier belonging to the Superectifier series. It features a DO-41 (DO-204AL) package with a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 30 A under standard conditions and up to 45 A for square waveforms. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V, a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix E3 confirms RoHS compliance and commercial grade status. Confirm the /73 suffix corresponds to ammo pack packaging rather than reel or cut tape options. Ensure the specific GP designation matches the required Superectifier structure specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1.0 A continuous forward current capacity. The Superectifier structure provides enhanced reliability compared to standard junctions. Verify thermal management requirements against the specified junction temperature range and thermal resistance values for the intended operating environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N4001GP through 1N4007GP family of glass passivated silicon rectifiers. These devices utilize a Superectifier structure within a DO-41 molded epoxy case. The family shares common electrical parameters such as forward current and surge ratings, differentiated primarily by their repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay family include 1N4001GP-E3/73, 1N4003GP-E3/73, 1N4004GP-E3/73, 1N4005GP-E3/73, 1N4006GP-E3/73, and 1N4007GP-E3/73. Selection depends on matching the specific reverse voltage requirement of the circuit design.

Single Diodes FAQ

What is the typical reverse recovery time for this rectifier?

The typical reverse recovery time is 2.0 μs, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A.

Does the E3 suffix indicate lead material composition?

Yes, the E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and that the terminals are matte tin plated, which are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 standards.
