1N4004RL

Single Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N4004RL is a glass-passivated standard recovery rectifier diode designed for general-purpose low-power applications. It features an axial-lead plastic package (Case 59-10) with a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 400 V and an average rectified forward current of 1.0 A. The device supports a non-repetitive peak surge current of 30 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 1.0 A and a maximum reverse current of 10 µA at rated DC voltage and 25°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides enhanced stability and protection against mechanical stress and chemical damage.
• High surge overload capability ensures reliable operation during transient current events.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved efficiency in power conversion circuits.

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in low-power electronic equipment
• AC to DC converter circuits
• Power supply input stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging configuration, as the RL designation indicates tape and reel shipping. Confirm availability status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as this component may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements by checking for the appropriate Pb-Free marking if required by your application standards.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery time is sufficient for the switching frequency of the application. Consider the thermal resistance values provided for different mounting methods to ensure adequate heat dissipation. Verify that the 400 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the peak inverse voltage present in the circuit under all operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N400x series of axial-lead rectifiers from onsemi. The series includes variants with reverse voltages ranging from 50 V to 1000 V. The 1N4004 specifically targets applications requiring 400 V blocking capability. The RL suffix denotes a specific bulk packaging format intended for automated assembly processes.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N4004 equivalents meeting JEDEC specifications. Cross-reference with 1N4004G for lead-free versions. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
