Diode Rectifier 1N4001

The 1N4001 diode is a standard and widely used rectifier diode designed to allow electric current to flow in only one direction, from the Anode to the Cathode. This unidirectional current flow makes it an essential component in many electronic circuits where current control and protection are required. The cathode terminal is easily identifiable by the grey band marked on the diode body.

With a maximum average forward current rating of 1A and the ability to withstand non-repetitive surge currents of up to 30A, the 1N4001 diode is suitable for low to medium power applications. It offers very low reverse leakage current (approximately 5µA), ensuring efficient operation with minimal power loss. Additionally, it can withstand reverse voltage peaks of up to 50V, making it reliable for general-purpose rectification and protection tasks.
