1N4002RL

The 1N4002RL is a standard recovery rectifier diode from On Semiconductor, part of the 1N400x series of axial-lead glass passivated rectifiers. It is designed for general purpose low-power applications requiring rectification of AC to DC. Key electrical specifications include a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 100V, an average rectified forward current of 1A, and a forward voltage drop of 1.1V at 1A. The diode can handle non-repetitive peak surge currents up to 30A, making it robust for inrush conditions. It has a standard recovery time greater than 500ns, suitable for low-frequency operation. The device is housed in a DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-lead plastic package, with through-hole mounting. It operates over a junction temperature range of -65 to +150°C and weighs approximately 0.4 grams. Typical applications include power supply rectification, DC-DC converters, freewheeling diodes, and polarity protection circuits.
