Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the component against official Vishay datasheet Document Number 88504. Confirm that the suffix E3 indicates RoHS compliance and commercial grade material categorization. Ensure the ordering code matches the specific packaging requirements, as the /73 suffix denotes ammo pack delivery. Validate all electrical parameters directly from the manufacturer's specification sheet before integration.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for standard general-purpose rectification tasks requiring a 100 V reverse voltage rating. The Superectifier structure offers enhanced reliability compared to standard junctions. Verify thermal management requirements, as the device operates up to 175 °C. Consider the 1.0 A continuous current limit and the 30 A non-repetitive surge capability when sizing the circuit for transient loads.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N400xGP series of glass-passivated junction plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The GP designation indicates the use of the Superectifier structure. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing identical mechanical dimensions and current handling capabilities.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements 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. These parts share the same package, current rating, and thermal characteristics but differ in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings.
