1N4005G

Single Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N4005G is a subminiature, axial-lead glass-passivated standard recovery rectifier designed for general-purpose low-power applications. It features a single silicon junction with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and an average rectified forward current rating of 1.0 A at 75°C ambient temperature. The device supports non-repetitive peak surge currents up to 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 environmental protection and corrosion resistance for external surfaces.
• Epoxy molded case meets UL flammability classification 94V-0.
• Cathode polarity is clearly indicated by a visible band on the component body.

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose low-power rectification in electronic circuits.
• AC-to-DC conversion in power supply designs.
• Protection against reverse voltage in DC circuits.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordered part number includes the 'G' suffix to confirm Pb-Free status, as the base 1N4005 designation refers to discontinued devices not recommended for new designs. Confirm shipping configuration requirements, such as bulk bags or tape and reel options, directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors to ensure compliance with current production availability.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select the 1N4005G when a 600 V blocking capability is required alongside a 1 A continuous current rating. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -65°C to +150°C operating temperature range. Consider thermal resistance values based on specific mounting methods if high ambient temperatures are expected.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N400x series of axial-lead rectifiers manufactured by onsemi. The series covers reverse voltages from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing identical mechanical dimensions and current ratings while differing in voltage specifications. The 1N4005G specifically addresses the 600 V requirement within this standardized family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The standard 1N4005 is listed as discontinued and not recommended for new designs; the 1N4005G serves as the active replacement. Other manufacturers producing JEDEC-standard 1N4005 rectifiers may offer functional equivalents, provided they meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.
