Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component status carefully as the 1N4001 series was officially discontinued by Central Semiconductor on June 14, 2016. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets, noting that original production has ceased and replacement sourcing may be required for new designs.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component only if legacy compatibility with the 1N4001 series is mandatory. Evaluate alternative standard recovery diodes from other manufacturers offering identical 1A/1000V specifications in the DO-41 package for modern design implementations requiring active support.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4001 series of 1 amp silicon rectifiers manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series covers reverse voltages ranging from 50 V to 1000 V across multiple variants. The 1N4007 variant specifically denotes the highest voltage rating within this standard rectifier family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Official documentation lists 1N4007 BK as the designated replacement for various discontinued parts within the same series, including 1N4001 BK, 1N4002 BK, and 1N4003 BK.
