1N4007GPE-M3/73

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4007GPE-M3/73 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode belonging to the 1N400x series. It features a single circuit configuration housed in a DO-41 (DO-204AL) package with matte tin-plated axial leads. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and offers a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage, and a peak forward surge current capability of 30 A for an 8.3 ms sine wave or 45 A for a square wave. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -50 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix /73 corresponds to ammo pack packaging as specified in the official datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance via the E3 suffix designation. Ensure lead length requirements align with thermal derating curves provided in the documentation. Validate material categorization and solderability standards against specific project constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with high voltage blocking capability is required. The DO-41 through-hole package facilitates manual assembly and prototyping. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and ambient temperature derating curves for high-current applications. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for the DO-204AL form factor.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay General Semiconductor 1N400x family of general-purpose plastic rectifiers. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V. All members share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other manufacturers' 1N4007 equivalents ensuring matching DO-41 package dimensions and 1000V/1A ratings. Verify that substitute parts meet the same thermal resistance and surge current requirements documented in the Vishay datasheet.
