Product details

Overview

1N4006E-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM), 1.0 A average forward current (I_F(AV)), and 1.1 V forward voltage drop at 1.0 A. It serves as a unidirectional power conversion element in AC/DC front-end stages of low-cost power supplies and freewheeling paths in inductive switching circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 1N4006E-E3/54 datasheet, 1N4006E-E3/54 pinout, 1N4006E-E3/54 application, or 1N4006E-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified V_RRM = 800 V, I_F(AV) = 1.0 A at 75 °C with 0.375" lead length, I_FSM = 30 A (8.3 ms sine), R_θJA = 50 °C/W, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads per J-STD-002.

Technical Context

The 1N4006E-E3/54 is a single-junction, silicon planar epitaxial PN junction diode optimized for low-cost, high-reliability rectification in non-critical line-frequency applications. Its design emphasizes robust surge handling (30 A I_FSM, 8.3 ms) and stable leakage performance (5.0 μA at 25 °C, 50 μA at 125 °C) under continuous conduction mode.

Thermal behavior is defined by a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 50 °C/W (PCB-mounted, 0.375" lead length) and a maximum operating junction temperature of +150 °C. The device exhibits typical junction capacitance of 15 pF at 4.0 V / 1 MHz, confirming suitability for 50/60 Hz to low-kHz rectification-not RF or fast-switching use.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_RRM	800 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe AC input voltage ceiling (e.g., ≤560 V RMS) in bridge or half-wave rectifiers.
I_F(AV)	1.0 A - Average forward current rating at 75 °C ambient with 0.375" lead length; sets continuous DC output capability in linear power supplies.
V_F	1.1 V @ 1.0 A - Forward voltage drop determines conduction loss (1.1 W dissipation at full load) and thermal rise in series rectification paths.
I_FSM	30 A @ 8.3 ms - Non-repetitive surge current rating; enables survival during cold-start inrush into capacitive-input filters.
I_R	5.0 μA @ 25 °C - Reverse leakage current at rated V_DC; ensures minimal standby power loss in off-state blocking applications.
T_J(max)	+150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in enclosed industrial enclosures with limited airflow when derated per Fig. 1.
R_θJA	50 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; used to calculate temperature rise (ΔT = P_D × 50) for heatsink-free PCB mounting.

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
Anode	Forward current entry point	Connected to AC source or inductive load return path; must withstand full surge current and forward conduction stress.
Cathode	Forward current exit point	Connected to positive rail or snubber network; polarity marking (band) prevents reverse-bias installation error in PCB assembly.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Low forward voltage drop	V_F = 1.1 V @ 1.0 A reduces conduction loss and self-heating in cost-sensitive 50/60 Hz rectifiers.
High forward surge capability	I_FSM = 30 A (8.3 ms) supports reliable startup into large bulk capacitors without degradation.
Low leakage current	I_R = 5.0 μA @ 25 °C minimizes standby power waste in always-on AC-powered devices.
RoHS-compliant construction	E3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test and lead-free soldering compatibility (275 °C, 10 s).

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose rectifier applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
1N4006G-E3/54	Same V_RRM = 800 V, I_F(AV) = 1.0 A, DO-41 package; G suffix indicates green (halogen-free) molding compound per IEC 61249-2-21.	No functional difference in rectification performance; selected where halogen-free compliance is mandated for end-product environmental certification.	Choose 1N4006G-E3/54 if RoHS + halogen-free is required; otherwise 1N4006E-E3/54 satisfies standard commercial-grade needs.
STTH1R08	Fast recovery diode (t_rr ≈ 150 ns), same V_RRM = 800 V and I_F(AV) = 1.0 A, but TO-220AC package; higher V_F ≈ 1.7 V.	Designed for higher-frequency switching (kHz range); unsuitable for line-frequency use due to higher conduction loss and larger footprint.	Select STTH1R08 only when replacing 1N4006E-E3/54 in SMPS secondary rectification; not a drop-in substitute for 50/60 Hz applications.

Compared with 1N4006G-E3/54, the 1N4006E-E3/54 offers identical electrical performance with standard epoxy; versus STTH1R08, it provides lower conduction loss and smaller DO-41 footprint at the expense of recovery speed-making it optimal for cost-driven, low-frequency rectification where fast switching is unnecessary.

FAQ

What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) for the 1N4006E-E3/54?

The 1N4006E-E3/54 has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) of 800 V. This rating ensures reliable blocking of reverse polarity transients up to 800 V in AC line rectification and DC bus isolation applications. It is validated per Vishay Document Number 88503 and applies under standard test conditions at T_A = 25 °C.

Is the 1N4006E-E3/54 RoHS-compliant and lead-free solder compatible?

Yes, the 1N4006E-E3/54 is RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix) and qualified for lead-free soldering per JESD 22-B106: solder dip at 275 °C maximum for 10 seconds. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, making it suitable for modern reflow and wave soldering processes without post-solder cleaning.

What is the average forward rectified current (I_F(AV)) rating for the 1N4006E-E3/54 and at what condition?

The 1N4006E-E3/54 is rated for 1.0 A average forward rectified current (I_F(AV)) at an ambient temperature of 75 °C with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length. Derating is required above this temperature, as shown in Figure 1 of the Vishay 88503 datasheet, to maintain junction temperature ≤150 °C.

Does the 1N4006E-E3/54 have a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (R_θJA)?

Yes, the 1N4006E-E3/54 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (R_θJA) of 50 °C/W when mounted on a PCB with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length and 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. This value is critical for calculating steady-state junction temperature rise under load and verifying thermal safety margins in sealed enclosures.

What is the forward voltage drop (V_F) of the 1N4006E-E3/54 and how does it affect power dissipation?

The 1N4006E-E3/54 exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop (V_F) of 1.1 V at 1.0 A forward current and 25 °C. At full rated current, this results in 1.1 W of conduction loss (P = I × V), directly contributing to junction heating. Designers must account for this dissipation alongside R_θJA to ensure T_J remains within the 150 °C limit.
