1N4007-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4007-E3/73 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier featuring a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A. It utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy body 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. Peak forward surge capability reaches 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine-wave pulse.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging configuration, as the /73 designation indicates ammo pack delivery. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to integration. Ensure lead length requirements align with assembly specifications, noting that thermal ratings assume a 0.375-inch lead length. Validate material categorization against regional regulatory standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when high reverse voltage blocking up to 1000 V is required alongside standard recovery characteristics. The DO-41 package supports through-hole mounting suitable for general industrial electronics. Consider the thermal resistance parameters for heat dissipation planning in enclosed environments. Verify junction temperature limits against expected operating conditions to ensure long-term reliability under continuous load.

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 forward current and surge capabilities while varying only in reverse voltage ratings. The E3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance and adherence to JESD 201 class 1A whisker testing standards. The base product line is widely utilized across various electronic equipment requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N4007 equivalents ensuring matching DO-41 package dimensions and electrical ratings. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and soldering profiles. Confirm that substitute components meet the same RoHS directives and material safety standards required for the target application.
