1N4006E-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4006E-E3/73 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier 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, a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage, and a typical junction capacitance of 15 pF. It supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine wave or 45 A for a 1 ms square wave. Operating 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 packaging with a base quantity of 3000 units. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization requirements prior to procurement. Ensure lead length specifications match application constraints for thermal resistance calculations.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1.0 A continuous forward current capacity. The DO-41 axial leaded package facilitates standard through-hole mounting processes. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance characteristics under varying ambient temperature conditions.

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 ratings for forward current, surge capability, and package type, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings. The E3 designation confirms RoHS compliance and adherence to specific material categorization guidelines.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other members of the 1N400x series may serve as substitutes if reverse voltage requirements differ. Verify that alternative components maintain compatible forward current ratings and physical package dimensions for direct replacement in existing through-hole layouts.
