1N5401 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 1N5401 is a standard recovery rectifier diode designed for general purpose applications. It features a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 100V and an average forward current (Io) of 3A. The forward voltage drop is typically 1.2V at 3A, and the device offers a standard recovery time greater than 500ns. The diode has a junction capacitance of 30pF at 4V and 1MHz.

 

This through-hole diode is housed in a DO-201AD axial package, suitable for automated insertion and manual assembly. It operates over a wide temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, making it suitable for industrial and consumer environments. The standard recovery characteristic makes it appropriate for low-frequency rectification in power supplies, converters, and freewheeling circuits.

 

Typical applications include AC to DC conversion, polarity protection, and inductive load clamping. The robust DO-201AD package provides reliable mechanical and thermal performance. Designers should consider the missing surge current and reverse leakage specifications for high-stress applications.
