1N4004GPE-E3/93

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4004GPE-E3/93 is a glass-passivated silicon rectifier belonging to the Superectifier series, designed for high-reliability applications. It features a cavity-free junction and operates in a single circuit configuration within a DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and handles a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at 75 °C with a 0.375-inch lead length. It withstands a peak forward surge current of 30 A under standard conditions. Electrical characteristics include a typical reverse leakage current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage, a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A, and a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs. The component is rated for an operating junction temperature range from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required delivery mode and base quantity, as these parameters define the physical packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details against the manufacturer's latest documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for general-purpose rectification tasks requiring robust performance in consumer electronics. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 400 V rating and that thermal management accommodates the specified junction temperature limits. Validate suitability for the intended load conditions against the provided derating curves.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N400xGP series of glass-passivated plastic rectifiers. The datasheet explicitly states that these components are 'Not for New Designs.' Engineers should consider alternative modern solutions for new product developments while acknowledging the established presence of this series in existing hardware architectures.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include 1N4001GP through 1N4007GP variants, differentiated by their reverse voltage ratings. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified for matching electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions.
