1N4004-BP

Single Diodes Overview

The MCC 1N4004-BP 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 leaded package suitable for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 400 V, a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 1 A, and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 30 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm exact packaging configuration and compliance status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target application. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm terminal plating and marking details before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for low-frequency rectification tasks requiring robust surge handling. The 400 V reverse voltage rating provides adequate margin for 220 V AC systems. Consider thermal management requirements based on the 1 A continuous current limit and the thermal resistance of the DO-41 package in enclosed environments.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the widely adopted 1N400x series of silicon rectifiers. The '1N4004' designation specifically indicates a 400 V reverse voltage rating, distinguishing it from other variants in the family such as the 1N4001 (50 V) or 1N4007 (1000 V). MCC manufactures this component using standard planar technology for reliable performance.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the 1N4004 from manufacturers such as onsemi, Vishay, and STMicroelectronics. Equivalent parts must maintain the 1 A current rating, 400 V reverse voltage, and DO-41 package footprint to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
