1N4002GPEHE3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4002GPEHE3/73 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier belonging to the SUPERECTIFIER series. It features a cavity-free construction and matte tin-plated leads compliant with RoHS standards. The device 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. It withstands a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A under standard conditions. Operating within a temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C, it utilizes the DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial through-hole package.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance requirements and packaging type. Confirm that the component meets the necessary environmental regulations for the intended deployment region. Ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes regarding lead finish and thermal handling specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust general-purpose rectifier is required for low-voltage AC-to-DC conversion tasks. The 100 V rating suits applications where transient voltages remain within safe limits. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and derating curves if operating near maximum current thresholds or elevated ambient temperatures.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N400xGP family of glass-passivated silicon rectifiers. The GP designation indicates the use of the Superectifier structure, which enhances reliability compared to standard junction designs. These components are widely utilized in industrial and consumer electronics for basic power management functions.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay 1N4002 variants such as 1N4002E-E3/73 or 1N4002-M3/73 to verify identical electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
