Product details
Overview
DL4003-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a glass passivated surface-mount silicon rectifier diode rated for 200 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward rectified current (IO) at 75 °C terminal temperature, and 1.1 V maximum forward voltage (VF) at 1.0 A. It features low leakage (5.0 µA at 25 °C), 30 A non-repetitive surge capability, and MELF package construction for high reliability in power conversion stages of AC/DC adapters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the DL4003-13 datasheet, DL4003-13 pinout, DL4003-13 application, or DL4003-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V blocking rating, thermal resistance (50 K/W), junction capacitance (15 pF), surge robustness (30 A, 8.3 ms), and MELF mechanical compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional power rectifier in single-phase, half-wave configurations with resistive or inductive loads at 60 Hz. Its glass passivation ensures stable reverse characteristics across -55 °C to +150 °C operating range and low IR drift up to 100 °C.
The MELF package provides uniform thermal dissipation and mechanical stability under thermal cycling. Junction capacitance remains stable below 15 pF up to 200 V reverse bias, supporting predictable switching behavior in line-frequency applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-reliability, surface-mount rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4003-T | Same VRRM (200 V) and IO (1.0 A), but DO-41 through-hole package; higher RJA (~65 K/W) | Requires wave soldering or hand assembly; unsuitable for fully SMT production lines | Select when legacy board layout or manual repair constraints prohibit MELF placement |
| ES1D-E3/57T | Higher VF (1.7 V), lower IR (1.0 µA), SMA package; 1.0 A IO but only 200 V VRRM | Smaller footprint but higher conduction loss; less robust surge rating (25 A vs. 30 A) | Choose for space-constrained designs where leakage is critical and surge exposure is limited |
Compared with 1N4003-T and ES1D-E3/57T, DL4003-13 offers superior thermal performance (50 K/W), MELF SMT compatibility, and higher surge margin-making it optimal for automated, high-volume, thermally demanding power supply designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for DL4003-13 at full 1.0 A load?
At 1.0 A DC load, DL4003-13 requires terminal temperature ≤75 °C. With RJA = 50 K/W, maximum ambient temperature is approximately 55 °C without heatsinking. Derating curves (Fig. 1) show usable current drops to ~0.6 A at 70 °C ambient under natural convection.
Can DL4003-13 be used in a full-wave bridge configuration?
Yes-DL4003-13 is a single diode and may be used in discrete full-wave bridge designs. Four units can replace a standard bridge rectifier. Its 200 V VRRM supports 120 VAC RMS inputs (peak ~170 V) with margin; ensure matching Vf and thermal layout across all four devices.
Is the MELF package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes-the MELF body and solderable end caps comply with IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and support standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 60–90 sec above 217 °C). No special prebake or profile adjustments are required.
How does DL4003-13 compare to DL4007-13 in terms of thermal performance?
Both share identical MELF package, RJA (50 K/W), and thermal construction. DL4007-13 has higher VRRM (1000 V) but same IO (1.0 A) and VF (1.1 V), resulting in identical power dissipation and thermal rise at equal current. Junction-to-case path is unchanged across the DL400x family.
