Product Overview

The STMicroelectronics 1N4001 is a general purpose plastic rectifier supplied in a DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy body. Its axial package dimensions include a 0.080-0.107 in body diameter, 0.160-0.205 in body length, and 1.0 in minimum lead length. Standard lead diameter is 0.028-0.034 in, with suffix E using 0.023-0.026 in leads.

Electrical ratings for the 1N4001 include 50 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage, 35 V maximum RMS voltage, and 50 V maximum DC blocking voltage. It is rated for 1.0 A maximum average forward rectified current with 0.375 in lead length at TA=75°C, and a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at IF=1.0 A and TA=25°C.

For transient conditions, the device is specified for 30 A peak forward surge current with an 8.3 ms single half sine-wave superimposed on rated load. Square-wave non-repetitive surge ratings are 45 A at 1 ms, 35 A at 2 ms, and 30 A at 5 ms at TA=25°C. Assembly facts include matte tin plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, plus a 275°C maximum solder dip temperature for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106.
