1N4005GH

Single Diodes Overview

The 1N4005GH is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 1A average forward rectified current. The device utilizes a glass-passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability and is housed in the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial lead package. It supports a maximum operating junction temperature of 150°C and complies with RoHS directives.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction construction
• High surge current capability
• Low forward voltage drop
• Halogen-free compliant packaging

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Bridge rectifiers for AC to DC conversion
• Polarity protection circuits
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load switching

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GH' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm halogen-free status and AEC-Q101 qualification if required. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact packing configuration, as prefixes or suffixes may indicate variations in reel specifications or compliance certifications. Cross-reference the JEDEC package code DO-204AL to guarantee mechanical compatibility with existing PCB footprints.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V blocking voltage is required alongside a continuous 1A current rating. The DO-41 through-hole package is suitable for general-purpose applications where standard recovery characteristics are sufficient. Consider thermal management requirements based on the 150°C junction temperature limit and ensure the circuit design accounts for the non-repetitive surge current capabilities specified in the absolute maximum ratings.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N400xG series of glass passivated rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The 'G' suffix typically denotes halogen-free molding compounds, while 'H' often indicates specific compliance testing such as JESD 201 whisker resistance or AEC-Q101 qualification. This series serves as a direct replacement for standard 1N400x devices in legacy designs requiring updated environmental compliance.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other manufacturers' 1N4005 variants in the DO-41 package, such as Vishay 1N4005GP or Fairchild 1N4005_NL. Verify that substitute parts meet the same 600V reverse voltage and 1A forward current ratings. Ensure the replacement also offers comparable surge current handling and reverse leakage characteristics to maintain circuit performance.
