With a reverse recovery time of 2 µs, it is designed for 50/60 Hz line-frequency rectification — think bulk power supplies, battery chargers, and AC-input bridge rectifiers where switching speed is not the constraint. The 400 V Vr(max) covers single-phase 240 VAC rectification with margin — the peak reverse voltage on a 240 VAC line is about 340 V, so this diode gives roughly 18 % headroom before derating. The 3 A continuous forward current is the average over a full cycle; in a bridge configuration each diode conducts half the time, so a 3 A bridge can deliver about 1.5 A DC to the load. Forward voltage is specified at 1.1 V typical at 9.4 A pulsed. The 5 µA reverse leakage at 400 V is low enough that standby losses are negligible. Standard recovery (trr = 2 µs) means this part will not work in a high-frequency SMPS — the stored charge during reverse recovery would cause excessive switching losses and possible thermal runaway above a few kilohertz. Stick to line-frequency or low-speed rectification. ## Package and mounting — field-service friendly The DO-201AD axial package is through-hole with leads easy to hand-solder, rework, or replace on site. The junction temperature range of -50 °C to 150 °C covers industrial and outdoor equipment enclosures. ## Sourcing and lifecycle posture ROHS3 compliant.","metaTitle":"GI504-E3/54 Vishay Standard Recovery Diode, 400V 3A DO-201AD","metaDescription":"Vishay GI504-E3/54 general-purpose standard recovery diode, 400V Vr(max), 3A Io, 2µs trr, DO-201AD axial package.

The 400 V rating and 3 A average current make it suitable for single-phase bridge rectifiers on 120/240 VAC lines. In a bridge, each diode conducts for half the cycle, so the DC output current is roughly 1.5 A.

The DO-201AD package and 400 V / 3 A rating are common across several manufacturers — a parametric search on Vr(max) ≥ 400 V, Io ≥ 3 A, and standard recovery in DO-201AD will yield candidates, but pin compatibility (axial lead spacing) should be verified against the PCB hole pattern."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/vishay/GI504-E3-54","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/vishay/GI504-E3-54 when reusing this data.
