Diode Rectifier 1N4007

The 1N4007 Diode is a reliable and widely used general-purpose diode that provides unidirectional current flow, making it essential for various applications involving current rectification and protection. Capable of handling an average forward current of up to 1A and peak currents up to 30A, the 1N4007 is a robust choice for a range of low-to-moderate current circuits. With a high peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of 1000V, it is particularly effective in rectification circuits and power protection applications. The diode comes housed in a compact DO-41 package and is easily identifiable by a gray bar indicating the cathode terminal.

Specifications:

• Average Forward Current (If): 1A – Suitable for handling moderate current flows.

• Peak Non-Repetitive Current (Ifsm): 30A – Can withstand short bursts of higher current.

• Reverse Current (Ir): 5µA – Low reverse leakage current ensures efficient operation.

• Peak Repetitive Reverse Voltage (Vr): 1000V – Withstands high voltage spikes in reverse bias.

• Power Dissipation: 3W – Can safely dissipate excess power without damage.

• Package Type: DO-41 – Compact, durable package for easy integration.

• Equivalent Diodes: 1N4148, 1N4733A, 1N5408, 1N5822, Zener Diodes – Interchangeable with several other popular diodes.
