1N5402-E3/73

Overview

The Vishay 1N5402-E3/73 is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode housed in the DO-201AD axial plastic package. It provides a maximum average forward rectified current of 3.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. The device features a low forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at rated current, a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 200 A, and a typical junction capacitance of 30 pF. Operating temperatures range from -50 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop for efficient power conversion
• High forward surge capability for transient protection
• Low leakage current characteristics
• Matte tin plated leads compliant with JESD 201 class 1A whisker test

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix /73 corresponds to the specified Ammo Pack packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and commercial grade material categorization requirements against project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V blocking voltage rating is required alongside a 3 A continuous current capacity. Ensure the DO-201AD through-hole form factor aligns with the target PCB layout constraints and thermal management design parameters.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N54xx series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers. The series covers reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V within the same DO-201AD mechanical footprint, allowing for standardized board designs across varying voltage requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other manufacturers' 1N5402 equivalents to ensure identical electrical ratings and physical dimensions are met for direct replacement purposes.
