1N4004GPE-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N4004GPE-E3/73 is a glass passivated junction plastic rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a Superectifier structure for high reliability and operates with a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at 75 °C. The device provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and withstands a peak forward surge current of 30 A. Electrical characteristics include a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs, a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage. It supports an operating junction temperature range from -65 to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix E3 confirms RoHS compliance and commercial grade material categorization. Confirm the /73 suffix corresponds to the specified ammo pack delivery mode. Ensure technical parameters are validated against specific application requirements as datasheet values may vary across different environments.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with a 400 V reverse voltage rating is required. The DO-41 package facilitates through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. Consider the thermal resistance ratings and derating curves if operation exceeds standard ambient temperatures or involves continuous high-current loads.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N400xGP series of glass passivated junction plastic rectifiers. The GP designation indicates the use of the Superectifier structure, which distinguishes it from standard variants. The series covers reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing common mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics within the DO-41 package family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay series include 1N4001GP, 1N4002GP, 1N4003GP, 1N4005GP, 1N4006GP, and 1N4007GP, provided their respective reverse voltage ratings match the circuit requirements.
