1N5404

The 1N5404 diode from DCCOM is a robust component for managing electrical currents in various applications. It is capable of handling an average forward output current of up to 3A and can withstand non-repetitive peak currents of 200A, making it suitable for protecting electronic devices from sudden surges.

Key electrical characteristics include a forward voltage drop of 1.2V and a peak reverse current of only 10µA, contributing to reduced energy loss and stable performance. The diode has a maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage rating of 400V and a maximum RMS voltage of 280V, ensuring safe operation in AC circuits.

This diode is housed in a DO-201 package, designed for through-hole mounting. Its slower recovery time makes it less suitable for high-speed circuits but ideal for applications where speed is not critical, such as power supplies, rectifiers, and battery chargers. The 1N5404 is widely used in household appliances and consumer electronics due to its durability and ability to handle current surges reliably.

With a power dissipation capacity of up to 6.25 watts, the 1N5404 offers efficient heat dissipation and stable performance under heavy loads, making it a dependable choice for demanding applications prioritizing reliability and cost efficiency.
