1N4385GPHE3/54

Overview

The 1N4385GPHE3/54 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It belongs to the Superectifier series and features a DO-15 (DO-204AC) package. The device provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A. It exhibits a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 1.0 V at rated current and maintains a low maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at 25 °C. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65 to +175 °C and withstands a peak forward surge current of 50 A.

Feature Summary

• Features a cavity-free glass-passivated junction structure for high reliability applications
• Designed with a Superectifier structure to ensure robust performance under demanding conditions
• Offers low forward voltage drop characteristics to minimize power loss during conduction
• Provides high forward surge capability to handle transient load currents effectively

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter circuits requiring standard recovery diodes
• Converter topologies utilizing single-phase rectification
• Freewheeling diode applications in inductive loads

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration, as the datasheet indicates distinct delivery modes for different codes. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details directly from the manufacturer's documentation before finalizing procurement. Ensure the component meets all environmental and electrical specifications required for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating and 1.0 A continuous current capacity are required in a through-hole axial package. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and derating curves for ambient temperature constraints. Evaluate the junction capacitance and reverse recovery time against switching frequency requirements to ensure compatibility with the circuit design parameters.

Part Context

This part is part of the Vishay Superectifier family, which includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 200 V, 400 V, 800 V, and 1000 V. All members share similar physical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for their blocking voltage capabilities. The series is designed for general-purpose rectification tasks where reliability and low leakage are prioritized over ultra-fast switching speeds.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay parts within the same document such as 1N4383GP, 1N4384GP, 1N4585GP, and 1N4586GP, provided the voltage rating aligns with the application needs. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the DO-15 package, 600 V rating, and 1.0 A current handling capability.
