1N4001GP

Single Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N4001GP is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed for low-frequency applications. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V and an average rectified forward current rating of 1.0 A at 75°C ambient temperature. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 1.0 A and supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A under standard half-sine-wave conditions. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C and utilizes the DO-41 axial leaded package.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction structure ensures high reliability and stability against environmental stress.
• Low forward voltage drop characteristic contributes to improved circuit efficiency.
• High surge current capability allows handling of transient load conditions.

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Polarity protection in electronic systems
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'GP' corresponds to the glass-passivated specification as defined by Fairchild Semiconductor documentation. Confirm package type matches DO-41 requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the specific manufacturing batch. Cross-reference datasheet revision C1 for accurate electrical limits.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V reverse voltage rating is sufficient for the application. The 1A current capacity suits low-power rectification tasks. Consider thermal derating curves for operation above 75°C ambient temperatures. Verify compatibility with through-hole mounting processes required for the DO-41 package.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N400x series of general-purpose rectifiers originally developed by Fairchild Semiconductor. The series covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing identical current and thermal characteristics. The 1N4001 variant specifically addresses low-voltage AC-to-DC conversion needs within this standardized family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include 1N4001 from other manufacturers such as Diotec or Vishay. Verify pinout orientation and package dimensions match DO-41 standards before substitution.
