1N4005E-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4005E-E3/73 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier featuring a DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy body. It provides a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage. It supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine-wave pulse. Operating junction and storage temperatures range from -50 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details. The /73 suffix indicates ammo pack delivery with a base quantity of 3000 units. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization requirements prior to procurement. Ensure lead length specifications match assembly constraints. Validate that the component meets all necessary environmental and regulatory standards for the intended deployment region.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1.0 A continuous forward current capacity. Consider its thermal resistance characteristics and operating temperature limits for high-temperature environments. Evaluate the package dimensions and lead configuration for through-hole mounting compatibility. Compare surge current capabilities against potential transient loads in the circuit design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001 through 1N4007 series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. All members share identical electrical ratings except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage, which varies across the series. The 1N4005 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a 600 V blocking capability within this standardized family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other manufacturers' 1N4005 equivalents or Vishay's own variants like 1N4005-E3/54 for different packaging options. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substitution. Ensure replacement parts meet the same voltage, current, and thermal specifications.
