1N4934GPE-E3/54

Overview

The Vishay 1N4934GPE-E3/54 is a glass passivated junction fast switching plastic rectifier belonging to the Superectifier series. It features a cavity-free construction for high reliability and low leakage current. The device operates with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and handles a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A. Key electrical parameters include a peak forward surge current of 30 A, a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.2 V at 1.0 A, and a typical reverse recovery time of 200 ns. The component utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) package with matte tin plated leads.

Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure designed for high reliability conditions
• Cavity-free glass passivated junction construction
• Fast switching capability for high efficiency applications
• Low leakage current characteristics

Applications

• Fast switching rectification in power supplies
• Inverter circuits
• Converter systems
• Freewheeling diodes for consumer electronics
• Telecommunication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix E3 confirms RoHS compliance and commercial grade status. Ensure the /54 suffix matches the required delivery mode of paper tape and reel packaging. Confirm the base part number corresponds to the 100 V rating variant within the 1N493xGP family. Cross-reference the document revision date against manufacturing batches for accuracy.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1.0 A continuous forward current capacity. The 200 ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for general fast switching applications rather than high-frequency RF use. Consider the DO-41 package size for through-hole mounting constraints. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements based on ambient temperature and lead length specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4933GP through 1N4937GP family of fast switching plastic rectifiers from Vishay General Semiconductor. All variants share identical physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and maximum average forward current ratings. The primary distinction between members of this series is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating, which ranges from 50 V to 600 V across the lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay family include 1N4933GP, 1N4935GP, 1N4936GP, and 1N4937GP, provided their respective voltage ratings meet or exceed the circuit requirements. Other manufacturers' 1N400x series diodes may fit mechanically but typically exhibit slower reverse recovery times.
