1N4002

Single Diodes Overview

The SMC Diode Solutions 1N4002 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 peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of 100V. The device utilizes glass passivation to protect the junction against mechanical stress and environmental variations. It is housed in a DO-41 axial leaded package, providing reliable performance with low forward voltage drop and high surge current capability up to 30A.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction protects the junction from physical damage
• High forward current capability combined with low forward voltage drop
• Capable of handling high non-repetitive surge currents

Single Diodes Applications

• AC to DC converter circuits
• Power supply rectification
• General purpose switching applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordered component matches the specific manufacturer designation for SMC Diode Solutions. Confirm the package type is DO-41 and the voltage rating is 100V. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental standards such as RoHS if required by your design specifications before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 1A rectifier with a 100V blocking voltage is required. It is suitable for applications where moderate surge currents are expected. Consider thermal management requirements based on the ambient operating temperature and the device's thermal resistance characteristics within the circuit layout.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the widely used 1N400x series of general-purpose rectifiers. These diodes are industry-standard components found in numerous electronic designs requiring basic rectification functions. The 1N4002 specifically denotes the 100V variant within this family, distinguished by its reverse voltage rating compared to other series members.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 1N4002 from other manufacturers such as Vishay, ON Semiconductor, or STMicroelectronics, provided they share the DO-41 package and identical electrical ratings.
