1N4004GP-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4004GP-E3/73 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier featuring the Superectifier structure. 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 with a 9.5 mm lead length. The device withstands a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine-wave pulse. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V, a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage. Operating temperatures range from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging details. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and commercial grade material categorization. Confirm that the base part number matches the required electrical ratings before procurement. Ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes regarding the DO-41 package dimensions and terminal specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with high surge capability is required for general-purpose applications. The Superectifier structure offers enhanced reliability compared to standard junctions. Verify that the 400 V reverse voltage rating aligns with the circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements. Consider the thermal resistance values if operating near the maximum temperature limits.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the Vishay 1N400xGP series of glass-passivated plastic rectifiers. The GP designation signifies the Superectifier technology used within the family. The E3/73 suffix specifically denotes RoHS compliance and Ammo pack packaging containing 3000 units. This series is intended for general-purpose rectification tasks in various electronic equipment.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same Vishay series include 1N4001GP through 1N4007GP, provided the voltage rating meets or exceeds the original design requirements. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified against the specific electrical parameters such as forward voltage and reverse recovery time.
