1N4001-N-0-4-AP

Single Diodes Overview

The MCC 1N4001-N-0-4-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 1A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50V. The device utilizes a glass passivated junction to ensure high reliability and low leakage current across varying temperatures. Packaged in the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial leaded format, it supports standard through-hole mounting techniques. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC reverse voltage of 50V, an average forward current rating of 1A, and a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1V at 1A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and exhibits a reverse recovery time of 2µs with a peak non-repetitive forward surge current capability of 30A.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N-0-4-AP' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging details and marking variations. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by your assembly process. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status and lead times. Request sample units for initial circuit validation before committing to bulk procurement volumes.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50V reverse voltage rating is sufficient for the application's peak inverse voltage requirements. The 1A current capacity suits low-power consumer electronics and industrial control interfaces. Consider the thermal management capabilities of the DO-41 package for heat dissipation needs. Evaluate the 2µs reverse recovery time against switching frequency requirements to prevent excessive power loss during operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the widely recognized 1N400x series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers. The series covers voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V while maintaining a consistent 1A current handling capability. MCC manufactures these devices using standardized processes to ensure interchangeability with other major semiconductor vendors. The DO-41 form factor remains a staple in legacy and modern through-hole designs alike.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include 1N4001 variants from manufacturers such as onsemi, Vishay, and Diodes Inc. Verify that replacement parts maintain identical voltage, current, and package specifications. Check for any differences in reverse recovery time or forward voltage drop that might impact circuit efficiency.
