1N4001G-T

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N4001G-T is a glass passivated silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a DO-41 plastic axial leaded package and provides a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50V with an average rectified output current of 1.0A at 75°C ambient temperature. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.0V at 1.0A, a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0µs, and a non-repetitive peak forward surge current rating of 30A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave. Operating temperatures range from -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures stable electrical characteristics and low leakage currents across the operating temperature range.
• High surge overload capability supports transient current spikes up to 30A peak without failure.
• Low forward voltage drop design improves overall circuit efficiency during standard conduction periods.

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in AC-to-DC power supply circuits
• Polarity protection in DC electronic equipment input stages
• Freewheeling applications in inductive load switching systems

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific procurement order explicitly matches the '1N4001G-T' suffix to ensure receipt of the tape and reel packaging variant rather than cut tape or bulk units. Confirm RoHS compliance status aligns with project environmental requirements before finalizing component selection.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50V blocking voltage threshold is required alongside a continuous 1A current capacity. The DO-41 package is suitable for through-hole mounting processes. Ensure thermal management accounts for the specified junction-to-ambient resistance under expected load conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001G through 1N4007G series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers. All members share identical mechanical dimensions and current ratings, differing only in their maximum reverse voltage capabilities ranging from 50V to 1000V.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other manufacturers offering the 1N4001G designation. Verify that substitute components maintain the same DO-41 footprint and meet the 50V reverse voltage requirement.

Single Diodes FAQ

What is the typical reverse recovery time for this diode?

The typical reverse recovery time is 2.0 microseconds, measured under specific test conditions involving forward and reverse currents.

How does the average rectified current change with temperature?

The rated 1.0A current applies at an ambient temperature of 75°C. Current must be derated linearly as the ambient temperature increases beyond this point.
