1N4007E-E3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4007E-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 current reaches 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine wave and 45 A for a 1 ms square wave. Operating junction temperature ranges from -50 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation, as it dictates packaging format and base quantity. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details via the manufacturer's compliance documents before procurement. Ensure lead length requirements match the thermal resistance ratings specified in the datasheet for accurate thermal performance validation.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for standard AC-to-DC conversion tasks requiring high reverse voltage blocking. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Verify that the operating environment stays within the defined temperature range. Consider the package dimensions for PCB layout constraints and ensure compatibility with standard through-hole assembly processes.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001 through 1N4007 series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay. All members share identical current and surge ratings but differ in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings, which range from 50 V to 1000 V. The 1N4007 variant specifically provides the highest voltage rating within this common family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other manufacturers produce equivalent 1N4007 rectifiers in the DO-41 package. Verify electrical parameters such as forward voltage, reverse leakage, and surge current capabilities. Ensure mechanical dimensions and terminal solderability meet the original design specifications.
