1N4005G-K

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N4005G-K is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device utilizes a glass passivated junction for enhanced reliability and is housed in the DO-41 axial leaded package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A, a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 uA at rated voltage, and a maximum DC forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 1 A. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction provides mechanical strength and stability against external physical stresses.
• High surge overload capability supports robust performance during transient current events.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved system efficiency and reduced power dissipation.

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC/DC power supply circuits
• Reverse polarity protection in electronic systems
• Clamping and flyback diodes in inductive load switching

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix K with the manufacturer or authorized distributor to confirm packaging configuration, as suffixes often denote tape-and-reel or bulk variations. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by your design specifications. Cross-reference datasheets from multiple sources to confirm exact thermal and electrical ratings before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 600 V, 1 A rectifier is required for through-hole applications. The glass passivation offers superior stability compared to plastic encapsulated alternatives in harsh environments. Consider the DO-41 package constraints regarding PCB footprint and lead spacing during layout design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the widely adopted 1N400x series of general-purpose silicon rectifiers. The 'G' suffix typically indicates glass passivation, while 'K' specifies the packaging type from Taiwan Semiconductor. These components serve as industry standards for low-frequency power conversion tasks requiring reliable unidirectional current flow.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include 1N4005 from manufacturers such as Vishay, onsemi, and Comchip Technology. Verify that replacement parts match the 600 V reverse voltage, 1 A current rating, and DO-41 package dimensions to ensure direct interchangeability without circuit modification.
