• Standard 1A average forward rectified current capacity for general power applications
• Durable DO-41 axial plastic encapsulation for secure through-hole PCB integration

Single Diodes Applications

• AC to DC power supply rectification
• General purpose switching circuits
• Polarity protection in DC input lines

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BK' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging or marking variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical batches may differ. Ensure the DO-41 footprint matches your design constraints. Check for end-of-life notifications or alternative sourcing options given potential manufacturing changes over time.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1A current capacity. The DO-41 package is suitable for manual assembly or standard wave soldering processes. Consider thermal derating curves if operating near maximum current limits in enclosed environments. Verify that the forward voltage drop characteristics meet the efficiency requirements of the target circuit design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the widely recognized 1N400x series of general-purpose rectifiers. The 1N4006 variant specifically denotes the 800V rating within this family. Central Semiconductor Corp produces this component using standard silicon planar technology. The DO-41 package remains a legacy but prevalent choice for high-reliability through-hole designs in industrial and consumer electronics.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N4006 variants such as 1N4006GP-M3/73 from Vishay. Ensure any replacement maintains the same DO-41 package dimensions and electrical ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before finalizing the swap.
