1N4001G

Single Diodes Overview

The SMC Diode Solutions 1N4001G is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed for AC-to-DC conversion in power supply circuits. It features a glass passivated junction and is housed in the DO-204AC (DO-41) axial leaded package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1A and offers a peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of 50V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30A, a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5μA at 25°C, and a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1V at 1A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction provides high reliability and resistance to environmental variations.
• High surge current capability ensures robustness against transient overloads.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved system efficiency.
• Compliant with RoHS directives and free from halogenated substances.

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC to DC converters
• Polarity protection circuits
• Free wheeling diodes in inductive load switching

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official SMC Diode Solutions documentation to confirm exact specifications and compliance status. Ensure that the component meets the required automotive or industrial standards if applicable to your design. Cross-reference datasheets for thermal derating curves and mechanical dimensions prior to finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery time diode is required for low-frequency rectification applications. The 50V reverse voltage rating makes it suitable for low-voltage AC lines. Consider the DO-41 package size for through-hole mounting constraints. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the specified junction temperature limits and ambient operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

The 1N4001G belongs to the widely recognized 1N400x series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers. This series is standardized across multiple manufacturers, offering interchangeable performance characteristics for basic power supply tasks. The '1' suffix typically denotes the 50V voltage rating variant within the family, distinguishing it from higher voltage versions like the 1N4004 or 1N4007.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 1N4001 from other major manufacturers such as Vishay, Micro Commercial Components, and onsemi, provided they share the DO-41 package and identical electrical ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substitution.
