1N4006-G

Single Diodes Overview

The Comchip Technology 1N4006-G is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed for through-hole mounting in the DO-41-2 axial leaded package. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of 800 V. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at rated current and maintains a low reverse leakage current of 5 µA. It supports a maximum surge current of 30 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C, ensuring reliable performance in standard power supply applications.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction construction provides high reliability and mechanical strength against thermal cycling.
• Low forward voltage drop minimizes conduction losses during operation.
• High surge current capability allows tolerance to transient overloads.
• Meets environmental standards including RoHS compliance.

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in AC-to-DC power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• Polarity protection in DC input circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number 1N4006-G with Comchip Technology or authorized distributors to confirm current availability and datasheet revisions. Ensure the procurement channel is authorized to guarantee component authenticity and traceability. Check for any specific packaging requirements such as ammo pack quantities if applicable to your assembly process. Confirm RoHS status details directly from the official documentation before finalizing orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1 A continuous current capacity. The DO-41 package is suitable for manual or automated through-hole assembly processes. Consider the 150 °C maximum junction temperature for environments requiring higher thermal resilience than standard 125 °C rated devices. Compare forward voltage characteristics against alternative manufacturers if strict efficiency targets are critical for the design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This diode belongs to the widely recognized 1N400x series of general-purpose rectifiers, which serve as industry-standard components for basic power conversion tasks. The 'G' suffix typically denotes Green/RoHS compliance in Comchip's nomenclature. It functions as a direct replacement for other manufacturers' 1N4006 equivalents, maintaining pinout compatibility and electrical specifications within standard tolerances defined by JEDEC standards.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include 1N4006 from Vishay (e.g., 1N4006GP) or MCC (e.g., 1N4006-TP). Verify that substitute packages match DO-41 dimensions and that reverse voltage ratings meet or exceed 800 V. Ensure forward current and surge capabilities are comparable to avoid derating issues in existing designs.
