1N4006-E3/53

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4006-E3/53 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode featuring an 800 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 1.0 A average forward rectified current rating. It utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) through-hole package with matte tin-plated leads. 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 peak forward surge current of 30 A for 8.3 ms sine-wave pulses and operates within a junction temperature range of -50 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and commercial grade material categorization. Confirm the /53 designation corresponds to the correct delivery mode or packaging variant, as standard options include Ammo pack and paper tape and reel configurations. Ensure lead length requirements align with thermal resistance ratings specified in the datasheet.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1 A continuous current capacity. The DO-41 through-hole package facilitates manual assembly and standard PCB mounting. Consider the 150 °C maximum junction temperature for high-thermal environments and verify that the 1.1 V forward voltage drop meets system efficiency targets.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N4001 through 1N4007 series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers. The series shares identical electrical characteristics except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage, which ranges from 50 V to 1000 V across the variants. The 1N4006 specifically provides the 800 V rating within this standardized lineup.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N4006 equivalents ensuring matching 800 V reverse voltage and 1 A forward current ratings. Verify package compatibility with DO-41 dimensions and confirm similar thermal resistance values for equivalent performance.
