1N4007GPE-E3/53

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N4007GPE-E3/53 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier belonging to the Superectifier series. It features a cavity-free construction and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002. The device provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at 75 °C. It withstands a peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine-wave pulse. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V, a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration, as codes such as /53 or /54 dictate specific delivery modes like ammo packs or tape and reel quantities. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization definitions via official Vishay documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with a 1000 V rating and 1 A continuous current capacity is required. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -65 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range. Verify thermal resistance requirements against the datasheet values for proper heat dissipation design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001GP through 1N4007GP family of general-purpose plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The GP designation indicates the Superectifier structure, while the E3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and lead finish specifications. These components are widely utilized in commercial electronics requiring robust standard recovery performance.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay family include 1N4001GP through 1N4006GP variants, differentiated primarily by their reverse voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 800 V. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the DO-41 package, 1 A current rating, and 1000 V reverse voltage specifications.
