Vishay 500 V 3 A General Purpose Diode 2-Pin Through Hole DO-201AD 1N5405-E3/54

Vishay 1N5405-E3/54 is a general purpose rectifier diode enclosed in a DO-201AD moulded epoxy package offering reliable and efficient conduction for electronic circuits requiring 500 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage and 3 A continuous forward current.

This through hole diode features a low forward voltage drop of 1.2 V, enabling efficient power conversion with minimal losses. It is capable of handling peak non-repetitive forward surge currents up to 200 A, making it suitable for robust industrial and laboratory equipment applications.

The device operates over a broad temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, maintaining performance stability in harsh operating conditions. Its epoxy body is flame retardant conforming to UL94 V-O standards ensuring safety in electrical assemblies.

The leads are matte tin plated for optimal solderability compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, while the colour band marking clearly identifies the cathode end to assist correct circuit orientation.

Typical applications include general purpose rectification in converters, inverters, freewheeling diodes, and power supply circuits across industrial, construction, HVAC, and manufacturing contexts.

Through hole mounting ensures easy PCB assembly. Epoxy moulded package provides durability and flame resistance. Wide operating temperature range supports varied environmental conditions. Low forward voltage drop improves efficiency.

Handles high surge currents up to 200 A without damage. Matte tin plated leads assure reliable solder joints. Cathode marked with colour band for polarity aid. Low leakage current reduces energy waste. Ideal for power supplies and industrial electronics.
