Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix /73 corresponds to the specified ammo pack packaging configuration. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and JESD 201 class 1A whisker test requirements through official datasheets or manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery time exceeding 500 ns is acceptable for the circuit design. Ensure the application requires a 400 V reverse voltage rating and a continuous 1.0 A forward current capacity within the -50 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part is manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes a molded epoxy body meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance, while the M3 designation typically signifies lead-free construction.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay 1N4004 variants such as 1N4004-E3/73 or 1N4004GPE-M3/73. Verify identical package dimensions and electrical characteristics before substituting.
