1N4007 Diode

The 1N4007 is a widely used general-purpose silicon rectifier diode designed primarily for converting AC voltage into DC voltage and protecting electronic circuits from reverse voltage. It allows current to flow mainly in one direction while blocking current in the opposite direction. The diode has a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 1000 V and a typical forward current rating of 1 A, making it suitable for low-power rectification and general-purpose switching/protection applications. Key Features: Type: Silicon PN-junction rectifier diode Maximum reverse voltage: 1000 V Average forward current: 1 A Forward voltage: Approximately 1.0 V at rated current Package: DO-41 axial package Polarity: Cathode is identified by a band on the body Applications: AC-to-DC rectifiers, reverse-polarity protection, flyback protection, voltage protection, and power supply circuits
