1N4002_NL

Single Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N4002_NL is a silicon rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial leaded package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1 A, a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 30 A, and a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction structure ensures high reliability and environmental stability.
• High forward surge current capability supports transient load conditions.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved system efficiency.

Single Diodes Applications
