1N4001GL-T

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N4001GL-T is a glass passivated silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a DO-41 plastic axial package with tin-plated leads. The device supports a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50V and an average rectified output current of 1.0A at 75°C ambient temperature. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.0V at 1.0A, a non-repetitive peak forward surge current rating of 30A, and a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0µs. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction for enhanced reliability
• High current capability with low forward voltage drop
• Surge overload rating up to 30A peak
• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS directives

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Free-wheeling diode applications
• Polarity protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'L' against the official Diodes Incorporated datasheet DS29002 Rev. 8-2. The provided source material lists standard variants such as 1N4001G-T but does not explicitly define the functional or packaging differences associated with the 'L' suffix. Confirm that the requested part matches the standard DO-41 plastic case and 5K tape & reel shipping format documented for the base series.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for general-purpose rectification requiring a 50V blocking voltage and 1A continuous current handling. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -65°C to +175°C operating temperature range. Consider derating the forward current by 20% if used with capacitive loads. Verify that the 2.0µs reverse recovery time meets the switching requirements of the target circuit.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N4001G through 1N4007G series of 1.0A glass passivated rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series shares identical mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings which range from 50V to 1000V. The 1N4001 variant specifically provides the lowest voltage rating in this family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 1N4002G-T, 1N4003G-T, 1N4004G-T, 1N4005G-T, 1N4006G-T, and 1N4007G-T, provided the higher voltage ratings are acceptable for the circuit design.
