1N4007 Diode – 1A 1000V General-Purpose Rectifier
The 1N4007 is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode rated for 1A average forward current and 1000V maximum repetitive reverse voltage. It is a popular DO-41 axial through-hole diode for power supplies, AC-to-DC rectification, battery chargers, adapters, reverse-polarity protection and general electronics projects.
Applications
- AC-to-DC and bridge rectification
- Linear power supplies and adapters
- Battery charger circuits
- Reverse-polarity protection
- Relay coil flyback protection
- DC motor protection
- Voltage blocking and isolation
- Arduino, ESP32 and other microcontroller projects
- Electronics prototyping and educational projects
Polarity and DO-41 Package
The band on the diode marks the cathode (K); the opposite terminal is the anode (A). The 1N4007 is supplied as an axial through-hole component in the DO-41 package.
- Body length: approximately 5.2 mm
- Body diameter: approximately 2.7 mm
- Lead length: approximately 25 mm on each side
Is 1N4007 suitable for high-frequency switching?
The 1N4007 is a standard-recovery rectifier intended mainly for low-frequency rectification and protection. For high-frequency switching converters, a fast-recovery or Schottky diode may be more suitable depending on the circuit requirements.
