1N4004-E3/53

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4004-E3/53 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier featuring a DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial through-hole package. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at 75 °C. 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. Operating junction and storage temperatures range from -50 to +150 °C, with a typical thermal resistance of 50 °C/W.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop for efficient power conversion
• High forward surge capability for transient protection
• Low leakage current characteristics
• Molded epoxy body meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter and converter circuits
• Freewheeling diode applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging configuration. The /53 designation indicates an Ammo Pack format, while other suffixes may denote tape and reel or different bulk quantities. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization requirements prior to procurement to ensure alignment with project specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for standard low-frequency rectification tasks requiring robust surge handling. Ensure the circuit's peak inverse voltage does not exceed 400 V and continuous current remains within the 1.0 A limit. Consider the thermal resistance when designing heat dissipation strategies for high ambient temperature environments.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001 through 1N4007 series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay. The series shares identical mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings. The 1N4004 variant specifically targets applications requiring 400 V blocking capability.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N4004 equivalents. Verify that substitute components match the DO-41 package outline, 1.0 A current rating, and 400 V reverse voltage specifications to maintain circuit compatibility.
