1N4004

Component

RectifierSilicon DiodeThrough-hole

The 1N4004 is a standard 1A, 400V general-purpose silicon rectifier diode in an A-405 through-hole package.

Best for

  • General-purpose rectification
  • Power supply circuits
  • AC/DC conversion

Avoid if

  • High-frequency switching applications (use fast recovery diodes instead)
  • Applications requiring very low forward voltage drop (use Schottky diodes)

Check before use

  • Thermal management for continuous 1A operation
  • Load type (derate for capacitive loads)
