# 1N4001-E3/54 ## Description The Vishay General Semiconductor series, consisting of part numbers 1N4001 through 1N4007, comprises general purpose plastic rectifiers encapsulated in DO-41 (DO-204AL) packages. Designed to accommodate an average forward rectified current of 1.0 A across a range of maximum repetitive peak reverse voltages from 50 V (1N4001) up to 1000 V (1N4007), these devices offer engineers a versatile solution for rectification needs across various applications. They feature low forward voltage drop, low leakage current, and a high forward surge capability, making them well-suited for use in power supplies, inverters, converters, and freewheeling diodes applications. The series is distinguished by its capability to handle peak forward surge currents of 30 A for an 8.3 ms single half sine-wave and up to 45 A for square waveforms, providing robust performance in demanding environments. With a maximum operating junction temperature of 150 ℃ and compliant to RoHS standards, these rectifiers are optimized for commercial-grade applications where reliability and environmental compliance are critical. Their mechanical and electrical characteristics, including a high resistance to thermal and mechanical stress, make them a preferred choice for designers seeking components that deliver stable performance over a wide range of operating conditions. ## Project Details - **Owner:** jbreidfjord-dev - **Created:** 5/11/2024 - **Last Updated:** 5/11/2024 - **Visibility:** Public --- *Generated from [https://www.flux.ai/jbreidfjord-dev/1n4001-e354](https://www.flux.ai/jbreidfjord-dev/1n4001-e354)*
