1N4005

Single Diodes Overview

The Diotec Semiconductor 1N4005 is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed for standard recovery applications. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and an average forward rectified current rating of 1.0A at 75°C. The device utilizes a DO-201 axial through-hole package with epoxy molding compound compliant with UL 94 V-0 flammability standards. Key electrical parameters include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30A (8.3ms half-sine wave) and a typical junction capacitance of 30pF. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to +175°C, ensuring reliability in diverse environmental conditions.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Diotec Semiconductor datasheets to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging options. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations as specified in the product documentation. Cross-reference ordering suffixes to identify correct reel or tube quantities required for assembly processes.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring reliable 600V blocking capability and 1A continuous current handling. Consider the DO-201 package size for through-hole mounting constraints. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 175°C junction temperature limit. Confirm that standard recovery characteristics align with the circuit's switching frequency demands.

Single Diodes Part Context

This diode belongs to the widely used 1N400x series of general-purpose rectifiers. It shares functional similarities with other industry-standard parts but offers specific performance metrics defined by Diotec Semiconductor. The 1N4005 variant specifically targets 600V reverse voltage applications within this family, distinguishing it from lower or higher voltage counterparts.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include 1N4005-E3/73 from Vishay and 1N4005-TP from Micro Commercial Components. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure equivalent voltage and current ratings before substitution.
