1N4006

Single Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N4006 is a glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode designed for general-purpose low-power applications. It features an axial-lead DO-41 package with a maximum average forward current of 1.0 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 800 V. The device exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 1.0 A and a non-repetitive peak surge current rating of 30 A. Operating junction temperatures range from -65°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary
