1N4007-E3/54

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4007-E3/54 is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 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 peak forward surge current of 30 A under an 8.3 ms single half sine-wave condition. The component utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial package with matte tin-plated leads.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the delivery mode, as the /54 designation indicates tape and reel packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets or manufacturer documentation before procurement. Ensure that the technical specifications align with the intended circuit requirements. Validate all operating parameters against the customer's specific application conditions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring high reverse voltage blocking capabilities up to 1000 V. The 1.0 A continuous current rating makes it suitable for low-power general-purpose rectification tasks. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when designing heat dissipation strategies. Verify compatibility with the required soldering temperatures and environmental operating ranges.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001 through 1N4007 series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay. The series shares identical electrical ratings except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage, which varies from 50 V to 1000 V across the range. The 1N4007 variant specifically provides the highest voltage rating within this family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other manufacturers produce equivalent 1N4007 rectifiers in the DO-41 package. Verify pinout orientation and physical dimensions to ensure mechanical compatibility. Check if alternative parts meet the same electrical specifications for forward voltage, reverse leakage, and surge current capabilities.
