Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix /54 corresponds to the specified reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the E3 designation. Ensure the procurement documentation matches the exact part number to avoid discrepancies in lead length or package dimensions. Cross-reference the manufacturer's datasheet revision date to validate technical specifications against current production standards.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with a 400 V reverse voltage rating is required. The DO-41 through-hole package facilitates easy integration into conventional circuit boards. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics for heat dissipation planning. Verify that the 1.0 A continuous current rating aligns with the specific load requirements of the target application.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part is a member of the 1N400xGP family, which includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V. All members share identical physical packages and forward current capabilities. The GP suffix denotes the Superectifier technology used in the manufacturing process. This specific model represents the 400 V variant within the standardized series.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other 1N4004 variants from different manufacturers may serve as functional substitutes if they meet the same electrical parameters. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution. Ensure the replacement component supports the required operating temperature range and surge current capabilities.
