Product details

Overview

1N5407-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, rated for 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM), 3.0 A average forward current (I_F(AV)), and 200 A non-repetitive surge current (I_FSM). It delivers low forward voltage drop (1.2 V at 3.0 A) and low leakage (5.0 μA at 25 °C), suited for AC/DC power supply rectification in industrial power adapters.

For engineers reviewing the 1N5407-E3/54 datasheet, 1N5407-E3/54 pinout, 1N5407-E3/54 application, or 1N5407-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include V_RRM = 800 V, I_F(AV) = 3.0 A, thermal resistance R_θJA = 20 °C/W, junction temperature range (–50 to +150 °C), and DO-201AD mechanical compatibility with PCB-mounted heat sinking.

Technical Context

This single-junction silicon rectifier operates as a unidirectional current-conducting device with polarity indicated by a cathode band. Its 800 V V_RRM rating enables use in high-voltage bridge configurations feeding 350 V RMS input stages, while its 200 A I_FSM supports transient overload handling in transformer-coupled supplies.

The diode exhibits 30 pF typical junction capacitance at 4.0 V / 1 MHz and maintains 5.0 μA maximum reverse leakage at 25 °C - critical for minimizing standby loss in offline SMPS front-end rectifiers and freewheeling paths in DC-DC converters.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_RRM	800 V - supports rectification of up to 560 V RMS input without breakdown
I_F(AV)	3.0 A - continuous DC output capability with 0.5" lead length at 105 °C lead temp
I_FSM	200 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge, enabling robustness against line transients
V_F	1.2 V @ 3.0 A - limits conduction loss to ~3.6 W at full load, reducing thermal stress
R_θJA	20 °C/W - requires ≥20 mm × 20 mm copper pad for safe operation at full I_F(AV)
Junction Temp	–50 to +150 °C - enables deployment in industrial enclosures without active cooling
C_J	30 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - minimizes high-frequency switching noise in flyback snubber networks

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STTH3R08	Fast recovery (t_rr = 75 ns), higher V_F (1.75 V), same I_F(AV)/V_RRM	Better for high-frequency SMPS; higher conduction loss in 50/60 Hz supplies	Select when switching frequency >20 kHz required; avoid for low-frequency transformer supplies
1N5408-E3/54	1000 V V_RRM, identical package, thermal, and surge specs	Same footprint and layout; used where higher voltage margin is mandated by safety standards	Drop-in replacement if 1000 V rating is required; otherwise over-spec'd for 800 V systems

Compared with STTH3R08 and 1N5408-E3/54, the 1N5407-E3/54 offers optimal balance of cost, conduction loss, and 800 V rating for standard 230 V AC input rectification - avoiding unnecessary overvoltage derating or fast-recovery complexity.

FAQ

What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) for the 1N5407-E3/54?

The 1N5407-E3/54 has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) of 800 V. This rating is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88516, Table "MAXIMUM RATINGS", and defines the highest instantaneous reverse voltage the diode can block repeatedly without breakdown. It is critical for selecting appropriate safety margins in rectifier bridge designs.

Is the 1N5407-E3/54 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?

Yes, the 1N5407-E3/54 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "E3" suffix explicitly indicates compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, verified per Vishay's material categorization documentation (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements.

What is the thermal resistance (R_θJA) of the 1N5407-E3/54, and how does it affect PCB layout?

The 1N5407-E3/54 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (R_θJA) of 20 °C/W under specified conditions: 0.375" lead length, PCB-mounted with 20 mm × 20 mm copper heat sinks. This value mandates adequate copper area and airflow in layouts operating near 3.0 A to maintain T_J ≤ 150 °C.

Can the 1N5407-E3/54 be used as a direct replacement for the 1N5408-E3/54?

No - the 1N5407-E3/54 is not a direct replacement for the 1N5408-E3/54 due to differing V_RRM ratings: 800 V vs. 1000 V. While both share identical package, I_F(AV), I_FSM, and thermal specs, substituting 1N5407-E3/54 in a design requiring 1000 V blocking may result in premature failure under voltage transients.

What is the typical junction capacitance (C_J) of the 1N5407-E3/54, and why does it matter?

The 1N5407-E3/54 has a typical junction capacitance (C_J) of 30 pF measured at 4.0 V and 1 MHz. This parameter influences high-frequency noise generation and snubber design in switching power supplies; lower C_J reduces capacitive coupling of switching edges into sensitive control circuitry.
