1N5408 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 1N5408 is a power diode from DC Components, part of the 1N540x series. It functions as an electronic check valve, allowing current flow in one direction only, from anode to cathode. This diode has a maximum current carrying capacity of 3A and can withstand peaks up to 200A, making it suitable for circuits designed for less than 3A.

 

Key electrical specifications include a 1kV rated DC voltage and a typical forward voltage drop of 1V at 1A. The reverse current is a negligible 10uA. It features a DO-201AD package, which is slightly larger than the DO-41 package but offers increased ampere handling capabilities compared to diodes like the 1N4007 or 1N4148.

 

Designed for through-hole mounting, the 1N5408 has tin-plated contacts and meets UL 94V-0 flammability standards. Its operating temperature range is from -65°C to 125°C. While it has a slow recovery time, making it less suitable for modern high-speed electronics, it remains a viable option for applications requiring its specific current and voltage ratings.
