1N4001-AP

Single Diodes Overview

The MCC 1N4001-AP is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed for AC-to-DC conversion in power supply circuits. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 50 V. The device utilizes a glass passivated junction to ensure high reliability and low leakage current. Housed in the DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial leaded package, it supports through-hole mounting with a non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 30 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction provides high reliability and low leakage current performance.
• Standard recovery speed suitable for general-purpose rectification applications.
• Robust surge overload capability ensures protection against transient current spikes.

Single Diodes Applications

• AC to DC converter circuits
• Power supply rectification
• Batter chargers

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AP' against the official Micro Commercial Components datasheet to confirm exact marking and packaging specifications. Ensure the ordered part matches the required 50V reverse voltage rating for the intended circuit design. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in the final assembly.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 1A rectifier with a 50V blocking voltage is required. The DO-41 package is appropriate for through-hole PCB layouts where space constraints allow axial leads. Consider higher voltage ratings if the circuit experiences voltage spikes exceeding the 50V limit.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N400x series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V, sharing identical current handling and physical package characteristics. The 1N4001 variant specifically addresses low-voltage rectification needs within this standardized family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N4001 variants such as 1N4001G or 1N4001-E3, provided they maintain the same DO-41 package and electrical ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
