1N5393-E3/73

Overview

The Vishay 1N5393-E3/73 is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 A at 70 °C. It features a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.4 V, a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs, and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -50 to +150 °C and utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded plastic package with matte tin-plated leads.

Feature Summary

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

Applications

• General purpose rectification of power supplies
• Inverter circuits
• Converter applications
• Freewheeling diodes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm packaging details. The /73 suffix indicates an ammo pack delivery mode with a base quantity of 3000 units. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization definitions via the official Vishay website before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for standard rectification tasks requiring a 200 V blocking voltage and 1.5 A continuous current handling. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -50 to +150 °C operating temperature range. Verify that the required thermal resistance characteristics align with the design constraints for the chosen lead length configuration.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N5391 through 1N5399 series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series shares identical electrical ratings for forward current and surge capability, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings which range from 50 V to 1000 V across the lineup.
