Product details
Overview
1N4004GP-M3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 30 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms). It delivers 1.1 V forward voltage at 1.0 A and exhibits only 5.0 μA reverse leakage at 25 °C, serving as a freewheeling or AC/DC rectification element in low-cost power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4004GP-M3/54 datasheet, 1N4004GP-M3/54 pinout, 1N4004GP-M3/54 application, or 1N4004GP-M3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, thermal resistance (RθJA = 50 °C/W), junction temperature limit (150 °C), lead-free RoHS-compliant construction, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole layouts.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon PN-junction rectifier operates in unidirectional conduction mode with cathode-indicating band polarity. Its 400 V VRRM rating targets mid-voltage AC line rectification and DC bus clamping where transient overvoltage up to 400 V must be blocked reliably.
The device uses a molded epoxy DO-41 (DO-204AL) package with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 22-B102 thermal shock testing. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 50 °C/W at 0.375" lead length on PCB, supporting operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under defined derating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown; defines safe operating range in bridge or half-wave rectifiers. |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - Average forward current at 75 °C ambient with 0.375" lead length; sets continuous power-handling capability in linear supplies. |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 30 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current tolerance; determines robustness against inrush or short-circuit transients. |
| VF @ 1.0 A | 1.1 V - Forward voltage drop at rated DC current; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal load in high-duty-cycle applications. |
| IR @ 25 °C | 5.0 μA - Reverse leakage at rated VDC; critical for low-power standby circuits and high-impedance bias networks. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; governs thermal design margin and long-term reliability under load. |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient; used to calculate temperature rise for given power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), molded epoxy body with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating; matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4004-E3/54 | Same VRRM (400 V), IF(AV) (1.0 A), and DO-41 package; identical electrical specs; differs only in packaging suffix (E3 vs GP-M3). | No functional difference; both RoHS-compliant with matte tin leads and UL 94 V-0 epoxy. | Select 1N4004-E3/54 when standard Vishay commercial-grade tape-and-reel delivery is preferred over GP-M3's optimized logistics coding. |
| STTH1R04 | Fast recovery (trr ≈ 50 ns vs 30 μs), higher VF (1.3 V), same VRRM and IF(AV); TO-220AC package. | Suitable for higher-frequency switching (e.g., 20–100 kHz SMPS) but requires heatsinking due to higher VF and different mounting. | Choose STTH1R04 only if fast recovery is required and board layout accommodates TO-220 footprint and thermal management. |
Compared with 1N4004GP-M3/54, 1N4004-E3/54 offers identical performance in DO-41 form factor and is interchangeable in all legacy designs, while STTH1R04 trades slower switching for faster recovery at the cost of higher conduction loss and incompatible packaging-making it unsuitable for direct replacement without layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1N4004GP-M3/54?
The 1N4004GP-M3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, as specified in Vishay's official datasheet (Document Number: 88503). This rating allows operation in demanding environments such as enclosed power supplies or industrial controls, provided thermal design respects the 50 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and appropriate derating curves are followed above 75 °C ambient.
Is the 1N4004GP-M3/54 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 1N4004GP-M3/54 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. Its "GP-M3" suffix indicates Vishay's Green Plus™ packaging with matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance and J-STD-002 solderability standards. The epoxy molding compound complies with UL 94 V-0 and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
What does the "/54" suffix mean in 1N4004GP-M3/54?
The "/54" suffix in 1N4004GP-M3/54 denotes the preferred package code for 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel delivery, containing 5500 units per reel. This packaging format supports automated SMT placement via pick-and-place machines and is distinct from alternate formats like /73 (ammo pack, 3000 units).
Can the 1N4004GP-M3/54 replace the 1N4004-E3/54 in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N4004GP-M3/54 can directly replace the 1N4004-E3/54 in all applications. Both share identical electrical specifications (400 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), 1.1 V VF), DO-41 package dimensions, RoHS compliance, and thermal characteristics. The GP-M3 variant reflects Vishay's updated Green Plus™ branding and logistics coding but maintains full functional and mechanical equivalence with E3-series parts.
What is the typical junction capacitance of the 1N4004GP-M3/54?
The typical junction capacitance (CJ) of the 1N4004GP-M3/54 is 15 pF, measured at 4.0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency per Vishay's datasheet (Document Number: 88503). This value influences high-frequency noise coupling and switching behavior in snubberless or high-dV/dt applications, though the device is not intended for RF or fast-switching use due to its ~30 μs reverse recovery time.
