1N4005

Single Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N4005 is a general-purpose, axial-lead glass-passivated standard recovery rectifier designed for low-power applications. It features a diffused junction silicon construction within a DO-41 plastic epoxy molded case. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and an average rectified forward current of 1.0A at 75°C ambient temperature. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.1V at 1.0A and a maximum reverse current of 10µA at rated DC voltage and 25°C. The component withstands a non-repetitive peak surge current of 30A and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides protection against mechanical stress and moisture ingress.
• Standard recovery speed suitable for general-purpose low-power rectification.
• High thermal stability with a maximum operating junction temperature of 150°C.

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose low-power rectification in consumer electronics.
• AC-to-DC conversion circuits for household appliances.
• Polarity protection in DC power supply inputs.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when sourcing this component, as packaging options vary significantly. Standard units are supplied in bags of 1000, while tape and reel versions require an RL suffix. Confirm availability status directly with onsemi, as certain legacy variants may be discontinued or subject to change without notice. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements if applicable to your assembly process.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select the 1N4005 specifically when a 600V reverse voltage rating is required, distinguishing it from lower-rated siblings like the 1N4004. Consider the axial lead package constraints for board layout compared to surface-mount alternatives. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics relative to your mounting method, as heat dissipation varies based on lead length and PCB copper area.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the widely utilized 1N400x series of rectifiers, which share identical current ratings but differ in reverse voltage capabilities ranging from 50V to 1000V. Manufactured by onsemi, these devices represent a standard industry solution for basic power management tasks. The 1N4005 variant specifically targets applications requiring higher blocking voltage than the 1N4004 while maintaining cost-effective through-hole integration.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents include the 1N4005G (Pb-Free version) and other manufacturers' 1N4005 parts sharing the DO-41 package. For surface-mount needs, consider the MRA4005T1G. Verify that replacement components meet the same 600V VRRM and 1.0A IO specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
