1N4004-G

Single Diodes Overview

The Comchip Technology 1N4004-G is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed for AC-to-DC conversion in power supply circuits. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V. The device utilizes a glass passivated junction to ensure high reliability and low leakage current. It is housed in a DO-41 axial leaded package, which provides mechanical stability and ease of mounting on printed circuit boards. The component supports a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A under specified conditions.
