1N4005

Single Diodes Overview

The SMC Diode Solutions 1N4005 is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed for through-hole mounting in the DO-41 axial package. It provides an average forward current of 1 A and supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V. The device features a low forward voltage drop of 1.3 V at full load and handles a non-repetitive peak surge current of 30 A. Operating reliably within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C, it exhibits a low reverse leakage current of 5 µA at rated voltage.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Standard recovery performance suitable for general power supply applications
• Glass passivated junction ensures high reliability and stability
• High surge current capability protects against transient overload events

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC/DC power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• DC output rectification in battery chargers

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation when sourcing, as SMC Diode Solutions may utilize distinct part numbering or suffixes compared to other vendors producing the standard 1N4005 specification. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging format requirements directly with authorized distributors to ensure alignment with project specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring robust 600 V blocking capability with moderate current handling. Ensure the thermal management design accommodates the specified junction temperature limits. Verify that the required reverse recovery characteristics meet the switching frequency demands of the target application.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the widely adopted 1N400x series of plastic rectifiers. These devices are industry-standard solutions for low-frequency power conversion tasks. The 1N4005 variant specifically addresses applications needing higher voltage isolation than lower-rated siblings while maintaining cost-effective through-hole integration.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay 1N4005-E3/54 or Diodes Incorporated 1N4005-B for equivalent electrical performance. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution.
