1N4004GPE-E3/91

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4004GPE-E3/91 is a glass passivated junction plastic rectifier belonging to the Superectifier series. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at an ambient temperature of 75 °C with a 0.375-inch lead length. The device features a low forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 1.0 A and a typical reverse leakage current of 5.0 μA at rated DC blocking voltage. It withstands a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms single half sine-wave. Operating within a junction and storage temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C, it utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy package.
