1N4004GL-T

Single Diodes Overview

The Diodes Incorporated 1N4004GL-T is a glass passivated silicon rectifier diode housed in a DO-41 plastic axial package. It provides a maximum DC blocking voltage of 400V and supports an average rectified output current of 1.0A at 75°C ambient temperature. The device features a typical forward voltage drop of 1.0V at 1.0A, with a peak reverse current of 5.0µA at rated voltage and 25°C. It withstands non-repetitive peak forward surge currents up to 30A for 8.3ms single half-sine-wave pulses. Operating and storage temperatures range from -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures stable electrical characteristics and reliable performance under varying conditions.
• High surge overload rating capability allows the component to handle transient current spikes effectively.
• Low forward voltage drop design contributes to improved efficiency during standard rectification operations.

Single Diodes Applications

• Polarity protection in electronic assemblies
• DC-to-AC conversion stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the specific tape and reel packaging configuration required for automated assembly processes. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and lead-free finish specifications as documented in the manufacturer datasheet. Ensure the component lot aligns with current manufacturing revisions to maintain consistency in mechanical and electrical parameters.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400V reverse voltage rating is necessary alongside a 1A continuous current capacity. Consider the glass passivation technology for applications requiring robust junction stability. Evaluate the thermal resistance and derating curves if operation exceeds standard ambient temperature limits or involves high-frequency switching environments.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001G through 1N4007G series of 1.0A glass passivated rectifiers manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. The series shares identical mechanical dimensions and general electrical behaviors, differentiated primarily by their peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings ranging from 50V to 1000V. The 'G' suffix indicates glass passivation, while '-T' denotes tape and reel shipping.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N4004 variants meeting DO-41 standards. Verify equivalent reverse voltage, forward current, and package dimensions before integration.
