Component

standard rectifier3 A1600 VDO-27axial diode

1N5408-CN is a 3.0 A, 1600 V standard rectifier diode in a DO-27 axial package for general-purpose high-voltage rectification.

Best for

  • General-purpose AC-to-DC rectification
  • High-voltage power supply rectifier stages
  • Through-hole power diode designs

Avoid if

  • Low-loss or high-frequency switching rectification is required
  • Documented compliance or lifecycle status is mandatory

Check before use

  • Verify thermal design at the actual lead temperature
  • Allow for 1.1 V maximum forward voltage at 3.0 A
  • Confirm the required reverse-voltage and surge-current margins
