1N5395-E3/54

Overview

The Vishay 1N5395-E3/54 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode with a 400 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 1.5 A average forward rectified current rating. It features a low forward voltage drop of 1.4 V at rated current, 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 °C to +150 °C and utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) through-hole package.

Feature Summary

• Low leakage current for efficient power handling
• High forward surge capability for transient protection
• Molded epoxy body meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter and converter circuits
• Freewheeling diode applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm delivery mode and base quantity. The /54 suffix indicates reel packaging, while other suffixes may denote different formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details directly from the manufacturer's datasheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for standard rectification tasks requiring a 400 V blocking voltage and 1.5 A continuous current capacity. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -50 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range. Verify that the required surge current does not exceed the 50 A single half-sine-wave limit during normal operation.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Vishay 1N539x series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers. The series covers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent current and thermal characteristics across all variants. The E3 designation confirms RoHS compliance and halogen-free construction.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay family include 1N5394-E3/54 (300 V) and 1N5396-E3/54 (500 V), provided the voltage requirements align with the specific circuit design constraints.
