1N6484HE3_A/I

Overview

The 1N6484HE3_A/I is a standard rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000V. The component utilizes a DO-213AB (MELF) glass package. It is designed for general-purpose rectification in power supplies, inverters, converters, and as freewheeling diodes.

Feature Summary

• High voltage blocking capability suitable for demanding power conversion environments
• Robust MELF glass construction for reliable operation
• Optimized for standard switching applications

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter circuits
• Converter systems
• Freewheeling diode applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix A/I to confirm the tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets. Check for active production status or obsolescence notices from Vishay before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000V reverse voltage rating and 1A continuous current are required in a compact MELF form factor. Ensure the application environment supports glass encapsulated devices. Verify thermal management requirements align with the package's dissipation characteristics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N648x series of high-voltage rectifiers. It shares functional similarities with other Vishay MELF diodes but is distinct due to its specific 1000V rating and 1A current capacity. The HE3 designation indicates enhanced environmental compliance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1N6484 variants such as 1N6484HE3/97. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical ratings match exactly before substitution.
