GI754-E3/54

Single Diodes Overview

The GI754-E3/54 is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and an average forward rectified current of 6 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.25 V at the rated current. It utilizes a P600 axial through-hole package with a void-free molded epoxy body and matte tin-plated solderable leads, designed for general-purpose power applications.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High-current capability with a 6 A average forward rectified current rating
• Robust construction using a void-free molded epoxy body for mechanical stability
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose power rectification
• Matte tin-plated leads ensure reliable solderability for through-hole mounting

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose power rectification in AC-DC conversion circuits
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load switching applications
• Protection against reverse polarity in DC power supply inputs

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix to confirm the packaging format, as variations exist between tape-and-reel and cut-tape configurations. Confirm that the component meets RoHS directives if environmental compliance is required for the assembly process. Cross-reference the datasheet for thermal derating curves to ensure proper heat dissipation under continuous operating conditions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V reverse voltage rating and 6 A current handling are required in an axial package. Consider the standard recovery speed for lower-frequency applications where fast recovery is not critical. Evaluate the forward voltage drop impact on overall system efficiency compared to Schottky alternatives if voltage loss is a primary constraint.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's GI series of high-current axial plastic rectifiers. These devices are engineered for versatility in industrial and consumer electronics. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent physical dimensions and electrical performance profiles across different models within the same package style.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 400 V, 6 A axial rectifiers from manufacturers such as Littelfuse or Diodes Inc., provided they match the P600 package outline and thermal characteristics. Ensure any replacement maintains equivalent reverse leakage and forward voltage specifications.
