1N4005-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4005-E3/73 is a general purpose plastic rectifier featuring a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. It utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) package with matte tin plated leads. The device exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage, and a peak forward surge current capability of 30 A for an 8.3 ms single half sine-wave.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides protection against mechanical stresses
• Molded epoxy body meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating
• Terminals are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 standards

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter circuits
• Converter applications
• Freewheeling diode usage

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging configuration. The /73 designation indicates ammo pack delivery with a base quantity of 3000 units. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details via official Vishay documentation prior to procurement to ensure alignment with project requirements.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for standard rectification tasks requiring 600 V reverse voltage blocking and 1.0 A continuous current handling. Ensure thermal management accommodates the specified junction temperature range of -50 °C to +150 °C. Validate lead length requirements for derating curves if operating near maximum ambient temperatures.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001 through 1N4007 series of general purpose plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series shares identical electrical characteristics regarding current and surge capabilities, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings. The E3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N4005 equivalents ensuring matching DO-41 package dimensions and 600 V reverse voltage ratings. Verify that substitute components meet the same 1.0 A forward current and 30 A surge current specifications.
