Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required delivery mode, as package codes determine quantity per reel or pack. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the E3 designation. Ensure the component meets specific environmental requirements by checking material categorization documentation. Validate lead solderability standards against J-STD-002 specifications before integration into production workflows.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1.0 A continuous current capacity. Consider the DO-41 axial package for through-hole mounting configurations. Evaluate thermal resistance values relative to ambient operating conditions. Verify that the specified junction temperature range aligns with the intended application environment constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4245GP through 1N4249GP series, differentiated primarily by their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings ranging from 200 V to 1000 V. All variants share identical forward current capabilities and physical packaging dimensions. The series utilizes a standardized Superectifier technology platform optimized for general-purpose rectification tasks across various industrial electronics.
