1N4006
The 1N4006 is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode commonly used in electronic circuits for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It belongs to the 1N400x series of diodes, which are known for their high voltage ratings and reliability in power applications. The "1N" designation indicates a single junction diode, while "4006" specifies its particular voltage and current ratings.
The 1N4006 diode has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 volts, making it suitable for
Constructed with a silicon junction, the 1N4006 exhibits low forward voltage drop, typically around 0.7 volts
The 1N4006 is part of a series that includes diodes with different voltage ratings, such as the
In summary, the 1N4006 is a high-voltage, high-current rectifier diode essential for converting AC to DC in
