1N5404GH

Overview

The 1N5404GH is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a 3A average forward rectified current and a 400V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. The component utilizes a DO-201AD axial leaded package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a low forward voltage drop, high surge current capability, and low reverse leakage current. The device is designed for general-purpose rectification in power supply applications.

Feature Summary

• High efficiency with low forward voltage drop
• High current capability with robust surge handling
• Low reverse leakage current for improved performance
• Green compound construction compliant with environmental standards

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Battery charging circuits
• DC-DC converter output stages
• Freewheeling diode applications in inductive loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' indicates compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free requirements as per manufacturer documentation. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint, typically DO-201AD for this series. Ensure the ordering information aligns with the correct tape and reel or cut tape packaging options available from authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3A current rating and 400V blocking voltage are required for standard recovery applications. Consider the thermal management capabilities of the DO-201AD package for the intended operating environment. Verify that the standard recovery speed meets the circuit switching requirements without necessitating ultra-fast recovery characteristics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N540x series of silicon rectifiers, widely used in industrial and consumer electronics. The 'G' suffix typically denotes green packaging compliant with environmental regulations. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy 1N5404 components in existing designs while offering enhanced reliability and material safety profiles.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other manufacturers' 1N5404 variants such as Vishay 1N5404-E3/54 or Diotec 1N5404. Ensure substitute parts maintain the same DO-201AD package dimensions and electrical ratings to guarantee mechanical and functional compatibility in the original design.
