Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix E3 confirms RoHS compliance and JESD 201 class 1A whisker test results. Confirm the package code 73 corresponds to the specified ammo pack delivery mode. Ensure the component meets the required thermal resistance ratings for the specific application environment.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring a 1000 V reverse voltage rating and 1.0 A continuous forward current. Consider the 2.0 μs reverse recovery time for standard frequency applications. Validate thermal performance against the 55 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance specification under expected operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N400xGP series of general-purpose rectifiers. The GP designation indicates the Superectifier construction, while the E3 suffix denotes environmental compliance. The /73 suffix specifies the ammo pack packaging format. These devices are designed for robust performance in consumer electronics and industrial power conversion systems.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay 1N4007 variants such as 1N4007-E3/73 or 1N4007GPE-M3/73. Verify compatibility regarding the Superectifier structure and exact electrical parameters before substitution.

Single Diodes FAQ

What is the typical reverse recovery time for the 1N4007GP?

The typical reverse recovery time (trr) is 2.0 μs when tested at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A.

Does the E3 suffix affect the electrical function?

No, the E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and adherence to the JESD 201 class 1A whisker test; it does not alter the electrical characteristics.
