AL01V0

Overview

The AL01V0 is a general-purpose standard rectifier diode manufactured by Sanken Electric USA Inc. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 400 V and an average forward rectified current (Io) of 1 A. The device utilizes through-hole axial packaging for reliable mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at the rated voltage and a forward voltage drop (Vf) of 1.3 V at the nominal current. The junction operating temperature range extends from -55°C to +175°C, ensuring stability in demanding thermal environments.

Feature Summary

• High-temperature operation capability with a junction range up to 175°C
• Robust 1 A average forward current rating for power handling
• 400 V peak inverse voltage withstand capability
• Through-hole axial leaded construction for secure mechanical attachment

Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC/DC power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• Reverse polarity protection in electronic systems
• DC output rectification in battery charging applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact electrical tolerances and marking codes. Ensure the procurement channel provides original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity. Cross-reference the package dimensions and lead form with the design requirements before finalizing orders to prevent assembly mismatches.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V blocking voltage and 1 A continuous current are required in a through-hole format. The high junction temperature rating makes it suitable for applications with limited cooling or elevated ambient temperatures. Compare the forward voltage drop specifications against alternative devices to ensure compatibility with system efficiency targets and thermal management strategies.
