1N4003GP-M3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4003GP-M3/73 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode belonging to the 1N400x series. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A. The device utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy package with matte tin-plated leads. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage, and a typical junction capacitance of 15 pF. It withstands non-repetitive peak forward surge currents of 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine wave or 45 A for a square waveform.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance status and packaging type. Confirm that the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable to the design. Ensure the selected variant matches the required lead length and delivery mode specifications before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for standard rectification tasks requiring a 200 V reverse voltage rating and 1 A continuous current capacity. Consider the thermal resistance and operating temperature range when designing heat dissipation strategies. Validate the surge current capabilities against potential transient loads in the target circuit application.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N400x series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers. The series offers various reverse voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V within the same DO-41 package form factor. These components are widely used in low-frequency power conversion applications due to their robust construction and standardized pinout compatibility.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other parts within the 1N400x series may serve as substitutes if the reverse voltage rating is sufficient for the application. Verify that any alternative component maintains compatible forward current and surge current specifications.
