1N6481-E3/96

Overview

The Vishay 1N6481-E3/96 is a surface-mount glass passivated junction rectifier featuring the Superectifier structure. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and an average forward rectified current of 1.0 A. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 30 A and maintains a low leakage current of 10 μA at rated blocking voltage. Operating within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C, it utilizes the GL41 (DO-213AB) MELF package.

Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure designed for high reliability conditions
• Low forward voltage drop and low leakage current characteristics
• High forward surge capability with matte tin plated leads
• Meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 standards

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter and converter circuits
• Freewheeling diodes for consumer electronics
• Automotive applications
• Telecommunication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging quantity and delivery mode. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details directly from the manufacturer datasheet before procurement. Ensure the component meets the required moisture sensitivity level and thermal specifications for the intended assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 400 V reverse voltage rating and 1.0 A continuous current handling in a compact surface-mount form factor. Consider the operating junction temperature limit and thermal resistance values when designing heat dissipation strategies. Verify that the standard recovery speed aligns with the circuit requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay SUPERECTIFIER® series, which includes variants ranging from 50 V to 1000 V reverse voltage ratings. All members share the same DO-213AB package and general electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings as indicated by polarity color bands.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Vishay parts within the 1N6478 through 1N6484 series that match the 400 V rating, such as the 1N6481 base number. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified for identical package dimensions, voltage ratings, and current capabilities.
