1N4002-G

Single Diodes Overview

The Comchip Technology 1N4002-G is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features a single configuration housed in the DO-41-2 through-hole package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and withstands a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at rated current, a reverse leakage current of 5 uA, and a peak non-repetitive forward surge current capability of 30 A. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation during procurement, as variations may exist between manufacturers using this base part number. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier or datasheet, as environmental declarations can vary by production batch. Ensure the DO-41 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V blocking voltage and 1 A continuous current rating are required for through-hole implementations. Consider the 1.1 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations in high-current scenarios. Evaluate the 30 A surge current capacity against potential inrush loads in the specific circuit design to ensure adequate safety margins.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the widely recognized 1N400x series of silicon rectifier diodes. It serves as a fundamental building block for AC-to-DC conversion tasks. The 1N4002-G variant specifically denotes the 100 V rating within this family, distinguishing it from higher voltage counterparts like the 1N4004 or 1N4007.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 1N4002 from other manufacturers such as Vishay or onsemi, provided they share the DO-41 package and identical 100 V/1 A ratings. Verify that replacement parts maintain the same forward voltage and reverse leakage specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
