1N4001-G

Single Diodes Overview

The Comchip Technology 1N4001-G is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed for surface-mount applications. It features a standard recovery characteristic with a maximum average forward current of 1 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V. The device utilizes a DO-214AC (SMA) package, offering a low-profile form factor suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA. It supports a wide operating temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C and withstands a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction ensures high reliability and stability under various environmental conditions.
• Low profile SMA package design facilitates efficient surface mount placement and space-constrained layouts.
• High surge current capability provides robust protection against transient overloads during operation.

Single Diodes Applications

• Surface mount power supply circuits requiring general-purpose rectification
• Polarity protection in DC electronic systems
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load switching applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Comchip Technology documentation to confirm the SMA surface-mount configuration. Ensure that the required RoHS compliance status matches the project specifications. Confirm the package type is DO-214AC rather than axial DO-41 variants. Check datasheet revisions for any updates on thermal characteristics or testing conditions before finalizing component selection.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount solution is required for 1 A rectification tasks. The 50 V rating suits low-voltage AC-to-DC conversion. Compare thermal resistance values if high ambient temperatures are expected. Ensure PCB footprint compatibility with the DO-214AC outline. Consider the standard recovery time for frequency limitations in the target circuit design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the CGRA4001 series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers manufactured by Comchip Technology. It serves as the surface-mount equivalent to traditional axial leaded rectifiers, providing identical electrical performance in a compact package. The series is engineered for cost-effective mass production while maintaining strict quality standards for industrial and consumer electronics.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent surface-mount parts include the 1N4001G from other manufacturers such as Vishay or onsemi, provided they utilize the DO-214AC package. Verify pinout orientation and physical dimensions match the existing board layout before substitution.
