1N4004-AP

Single Diodes Overview

The MCC 1N4004-AP is a standard recovery 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 400 V. The device utilizes a DO-204AL (DO-41) axial through-hole package with a plastic molded body. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 µA at the rated voltage and a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 1 A. The component supports a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 30 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AP' against official Micro Commercial Components documentation to confirm its exact meaning, as it may denote a specific packaging variant or internal revision code not explicitly defined in standard datasheets. Ensure the ordered part matches the required RoHS compliance status and environmental certifications such as REACH and halogen-free definitions. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest product change notices to confirm manufacturing stability and material consistency before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, cost-effective solution is needed for low-frequency rectification tasks requiring 400 V blocking capability. The DO-41 package facilitates easy manual or automated through-hole assembly. Consider the thermal management requirements based on the 3 W power dissipation rating and the operating temperature limits. Verify that the circuit's peak inverse voltage does not exceed the 400 V rating under all transient conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the widely recognized 1N400x series of silicon rectifier diodes, which are industry-standard devices for basic power conversion. The '1N4004' designation specifically indicates a 400 V reverse voltage rating, distinguishing it from other variants like the 1N4001 (50 V) or 1N4007 (1000 V). MCC manufactures this part using established semiconductor processes to ensure compatibility with existing designs utilizing generic 1N4004 specifications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the 1N4004-TP and 1N4004GP-TP from the same manufacturer, which share identical electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions. Other manufacturers producing JEDEC-compliant 1N4004 devices in the DO-41 package are also functionally interchangeable provided their absolute maximum ratings meet or exceed the original specifications.
