1N4005G

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N4005G is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a single silicon junction with a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device utilizes a DO-41 axial leaded package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1 A, a non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 30 A, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at rated voltage. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction for enhanced environmental stability and reliability
• High surge current capability designed to withstand transient overload conditions
• Low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses during operation

Single Diodes Applications

• AC to DC power supply rectification circuits
• General-purpose protection against reverse polarity in electronic systems
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load switching applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm glass passivation status and compliance details. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package style and terminal finish specifications. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm material composition and regulatory compliance status prior to procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust general-purpose rectifier with high voltage blocking capability is required for through-hole assembly. The 600 V rating provides sufficient margin for standard mains voltage applications. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with the 1 A continuous current rating and the specified operating temperature range.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the widely adopted 1N400x series of silicon rectifiers. The '1N4005' designation specifically indicates a 600 V reverse voltage rating within this family. The 'G' suffix typically denotes glass passivation, distinguishing it from standard plastic encapsulated variants while maintaining identical electrical performance parameters.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include Vishay 1N4005-E3/73, Micro Commercial Components 1N4005-TP, and Comchip Technology 1N4005-G. Verify that replacement parts maintain the DO-41 package dimensions and match the 600 V / 1 A electrical ratings.
