1N4002-TP

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N4002-TP is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a single diode configuration housed in a DO-41 through-hole package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1 V at 1 A, a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5 uA at rated blocking voltage. The junction capacitance is typically 15 pF at 4 V and 1 MHz. The component operates within a temperature range from -55 C to +150 C and has a typical reverse recovery time of 2 us.

• DC output rectification in low-voltage AC-to-DC converters

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official MCC documentation to confirm the component identity. Check the lifecycle status, as this item may be marked as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Ensure that the DO-41 package dimensions and lead specifications match your PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole standard recovery rectifier is required for 100 V reverse voltage applications. Consider the thermal resistance and operating temperature limits if the device will be used in enclosed spaces or high-ambient environments. Verify that the 1 A continuous current rating meets the load requirements without exceeding the junction temperature limits under worst-case operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N400x series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers produced by Micro Commercial Components. The 'TP' suffix typically denotes a specific tape-and-reel or cut-tape packaging option offered by the manufacturer. These diodes are widely used in consumer electronics and industrial equipment where cost-effective, reliable rectification is needed.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 1N4002 variants from different manufacturers such as Vishay (1N4002G) or Fairchild (1N4002GPT50R), provided they share the same DO-41 package and electrical ratings. Ensure any replacement maintains the same reverse voltage and current capabilities.
