1N4006GP

Single Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N4006GP is a silicon rectifier diode designed for general-purpose applications. It features a single diode configuration housed in a DO-41 through-hole package with two pins. The device supports a maximum average forward current of 1 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at rated current and a peak non-repetitive forward surge current capability of 30 A. The component operates within a temperature range from -65 °C to 175 °C junction temperature.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes glass-passivated junction structure for high reliability and cavity-free construction
• Provides low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage current performance
• Offers high forward surge current capability for robust operation under transient conditions

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Free-wheeling diode applications in inductive load protection
• Low-voltage DC output conversion systems

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets, as variations may indicate different packaging or environmental compliance levels. Confirm that the DO-41 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 50 V rating aligns with your circuit's peak inverse voltage demands. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Validate supplier authenticity through authorized distribution channels.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, reliable rectifier with moderate voltage blocking capability is required. The 1 A current rating suits small to medium power applications. Consider the 175 °C maximum junction temperature for high-thermal environments. Compare with higher voltage variants like the 1N4007 series if system voltages exceed 50 V. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 1.1 V forward voltage drop at full load.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the widely used 1N400x series of silicon rectifier diodes. These components are standard industry choices for basic AC-to-DC conversion tasks. The 1N4006 variant specifically targets low-voltage applications requiring 50 V reverse blocking. Its DO-41 axial leaded package facilitates easy manual soldering and automated insertion processes common in consumer electronics manufacturing.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N4006 parts such as Vishay 1N4006GP or Taiwan Semiconductor 1N4006G. Verify identical pinout, current ratings, and voltage specifications before substitution. Cross-reference datasheets for minor differences in forward voltage or leakage current that might affect sensitive circuit designs.
