1N5392-E3/54

Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N5392-E3/54 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode housed in a DO-41 (DO-204AL) package. It features an average forward rectified current of 1.5 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 50 A, with a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.4 V at 1.5 A. Operating junction and storage temperatures range from -50 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop
• Low leakage current
• High forward surge capability

Applications

• General purpose rectification of power supplies
• Inverters
• Converters
• Freewheeling diodes application

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details and compliance status. Confirm that the component meets RoHS requirements and passes JESD 201 class 1A whisker testing. Ensure lead length specifications align with thermal resistance calculations for the intended mounting configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring standard recovery characteristics and robust surge handling within a through-hole form factor. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Verify that the 100 V reverse voltage rating provides adequate margin for the target DC blocking voltage.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5391 through 1N5399 series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay. The series utilizes a molded epoxy body meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings. Matte tin-plated leads ensure solderability per J-STD-002 standards.

Replacement Considerations

Check datasheet cross-reference tables for electrically equivalent parts with matching voltage and current ratings.
