1N5397GP-E3/54

Overview

The Vishay 1N5397GP-E3/54 is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier with a Superectifier structure. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and an average forward rectified current of 1.5 A. The device features a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs, a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.4 V at 1.5 A, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65 to +175 °C and is housed in a DO-15 (DO-204AC) package.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details. The /54 designation indicates tape and reel delivery. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization definitions via the manufacturer's website before procurement. Ensure lead length requirements are met for thermal resistance specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for general-purpose rectification where a 600 V reverse voltage rating and 1.5 A continuous current capacity are required. Consider the 2.0 μs reverse recovery time for standard frequency applications. Verify that the DO-15 through-hole package fits the design constraints and that the operating temperature range meets environmental requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N539xGP series from Vishay General Semiconductor. The series covers reverse voltages from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 1.5 A current rating. The 1N5397 variant specifically addresses the 600 V requirement within this lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents within the same series or other manufacturers offering identical electrical ratings and package dimensions. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting.
