1N4005GP-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4005GP-E3/73 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier featuring a Superectifier structure for high reliability. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at 75 °C with a 9.5 mm lead length. The device handles a peak forward surge current of 30 A under standard sine-wave conditions. Electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V, a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage, and a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs. Operating junction temperatures range from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details. The /73 designation indicates ammo pack delivery, while other suffixes may denote tape and reel formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization definitions via the manufacturer's compliance portal before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for general-purpose rectification where a 600 V reverse voltage rating is required. Ensure thermal management accounts for the specified operating temperature range up to 175 °C. Verify that the 1.0 A average forward current rating meets circuit demands at the expected ambient temperature, considering derating curves if necessary.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N400xGP series of glass-passivated plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The GP designation identifies the Superectifier technology variant within the broader 1N400x family. These components are standardized through-hole devices intended for commercial-grade applications requiring robust rectification capabilities.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 1N4005 variants such as 1N4005-E3 or 1N4005GP-M3 to verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment. Confirm package dimensions match DO-41 (DO-204AL) requirements when substituting.
