1N5404-E3/73

Overview

The Vishay 1N5404-E3/73 is a general-purpose plastic rectifier featuring a DO-201AD package. It provides a maximum average forward rectified current of 3.0 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 200 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -50 °C to +150 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.2 V at rated current, a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at 25 °C, and a typical junction capacitance of 30 pF.

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 /73 corresponds to the required Ammo pack packaging configuration rather than reel formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details via official Vishay documentation before finalizing procurement specifications for production integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery rectifier with a 400 V blocking voltage and 3 A continuous current rating is required. Ensure the DO-201AD through-hole form factor aligns with the target PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements for the intended circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N54xx series of general-purpose plastic rectifiers. The series encompasses multiple voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions and electrical performance profiles across the family members.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other manufacturers' 1N5404 equivalents or Vishay's UF5404 fast recovery variant if switching speed requirements differ. Verify that substitute components match the DO-201AD footprint and meet the same 3.0 A and 400 V ratings.
