Product details
Overview
1N3613GPHE3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 30 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM), used as a freewheeling or output rectifier in offline AC/DC power supplies and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3613GPHE3/73 datasheet, 1N3613GPHE3/73 pinout, 1N3613GPHE3/73 application, or 1N3613GPHE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.0 V forward voltage at 1.0 A, <1.0 μA reverse leakage at 25 °C, 2.0 μs reverse recovery time, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole power supply designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a single silicon PN junction with cavity-free glass passivation, enabling stable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature and low IR drift over temperature. Its Superectifier® structure delivers high reliability in repetitive surge conditions typical of inductive load switching.
The 1N3613GPHE3/73 operates as a unidirectional, single-anode/cathode rectifier with polarity indicated by a color band on the cathode end. It is not optimized for high-frequency switching but supports standard 50/60 Hz and low-kHz rectification with verified thermal resistance of 25 °C/W (junction-to-lead) under JEDEC-standard mounting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking capability, suitable for 420 V RMS input stages in universal-input SMPS |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A at 75 °C ambient with 0.375" lead length - defines continuous DC output current rating in convection-cooled PCB layouts |
| VF | 1.0 V at 1.0 A - determines conduction loss and thermal dissipation in rectifier stage (≈1.0 W at full load) |
| trr | 2.0 μs - enables use in line-frequency and low-frequency (<20 kHz) flyback and forward converter freewheeling paths |
| IR | 1.0 μA at 25 °C - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance hold-up circuits |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments without derating below 125 °C |
| RθJL | 25 °C/W - confirms effective heat transfer to PCB copper via leads, critical for thermal management without heatsinks |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, molded epoxy over glass body with UL 94 V-0 rating; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards; E3 suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade, JESD 201 Class 1A whisker-tested construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of AC source or inductor return path in freewheeling configuration |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point; marked with color band | Connected to output rail or positive DC bus; polarity identification prevents reverse-bias installation error |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superectifier® structure | Enhanced junction robustness against surge-induced metallurgical degradation, extending lifetime in cyclic inductive-switching applications |
| Cavity-free glass passivation | Eliminates moisture ingress paths at junction edge, improving long-term IR stability and humidity resistance per MIL-STD-750 Method 1072 |
| Low VF (1.0 V @ 1 A) | Reduces I²R conduction loss by ~15% versus standard 1N400x series at same current, lowering thermal stress on PCB traces |
| IFSM = 30 A (8.3 ms) | Withstands transformer inrush and capacitor charge surges without parametric shift or catastrophic failure |
| Solder dip rated 275 °C / 10 s | Supports wave-solder reflow profiles without delamination or parameter drift, ensuring manufacturing repeatability |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Input Rectification | DC-DC Converter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4007GP-E3/73 | VRRM = 1000 V; VF = 1.1 V @ 1 A; trr ≈ 30 μs; no Superectifier® structure | Higher voltage margin but slower recovery; less robust surge endurance | Prefer when >600 V blocking is required and switching frequency <1 kHz |
| 1N5408GP-E3/73 | IF(AV) = 3.0 A; VRRM = 1000 V; VF = 1.1 V @ 3 A; RθJL = 20 °C/W | Higher current capacity and thermal efficiency, but larger DO-201AD footprint | Choose when output current exceeds 1.5 A and board space allows larger package |
Compared with 1N4007GP-E3/73 and 1N5408GP-E3/73, the 1N3613GPHE3/73 offers superior surge robustness and faster recovery in the same DO-41 footprint, making it optimal for compact, high-reliability 600 V rectification where 1 A average current suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1N3613GPHE3/73?
The 1N3613GPHE3/73 has a maximum operating junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, verified per JEDEC test conditions. This rating enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments such as industrial motor drives and outdoor power supplies. Derating curves in the datasheet specify usable IF(AV) at elevated temperatures, and the device maintains specified VF and IR performance up to this limit when mounted per JEDEC standard conditions.
Is the 1N3613GPHE3/73 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 1N3613GPHE3/73 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as confirmed by the "E3" suffix in its part number. It meets the material restrictions defined in Directive 2011/65/EU and satisfies JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing requirements. The matte tin-plated leads are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and the molding compound complies with UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.
What does the "HE3/73" suffix mean in 1N3613GPHE3/73?
The "HE3/73" suffix identifies the packaging and compliance version: "HE3" denotes the RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade variant with E3-qualified plating and materials; "/73" specifies ammo pack packaging containing 3000 units. This differs from "/54" (tape-and-reel, 5500 units) and confirms the part meets Vishay's standard for high-reliability glass-passivated rectifiers in through-hole assembly formats.
Can the 1N3613GPHE3/73 replace a standard 1N4006 in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N3613GPHE3/73 is a direct physical and electrical replacement for the 1N4006 in DO-41 packages, offering identical pinout, 1.0 A IF(AV), and 600 V VRRM rating. It improves upon the 1N4006 with lower VF (1.0 V vs. 1.1 V), faster trr (2.0 μs vs. ~4 μs), and enhanced surge robustness due to Superectifier® construction-making it suitable for drop-in upgrades in legacy power supplies without layout changes.
Why is the 1N3613GPHE3/73 marked "Not for New Designs"?
The "Not for New Designs" designation reflects Vishay's product lifecycle status: the 1N3613GPHE3/73 remains fully available and supported for existing production and repair, but Vishay recommends newer alternatives (e.g., VS-1N3613GP-M3/73) for new designs due to improved manufacturing controls and extended availability assurance. Aetrix Electronics continues to stock and distribute the 1N3613GPHE3/73 with full traceability and BOM continuity support.
