1N4001
The 1N4001 is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode in the 1N400x family. It is designed for low-voltage rectification in power supplies and similar circuits, and remains widely used in both hobbyist and industrial electronics due to its simplicity and low cost.
Key specifications include a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 50 volts and a maximum average forward
The 1N4001 is commonly packaged in a DO-41 axial package and operates over a temperature range typical
Applications for the 1N4001 include rectifying AC to DC in power supplies, adapters, and general-purpose low-voltage
The 1N4001 has been produced by numerous manufacturers for decades and remains a standard component in many
