Product Details
1N4007 General Purpose Rectifier Diode 1A
The 1N4007 is a widely used general-purpose silicon rectifier diode for low-frequency rectification and polarity protection in DIY electronics. This listing is for the discrete diode.
What it does
- Rectifies AC or blocks reverse DC within its ratings.
- Typical 1 A forward continuous current class for the 1N400x series.
- High peak reverse voltage suitable for many mains-derived low-current supplies (observe isolation and safety rules).
- Axial leads for through-hole assembly.
Compatibility and setup
- Observe cathode band polarity; reverse installation prevents intended conduction.
- Stay within datasheet current, voltage, and temperature limits; add heatsinking only if your design requires it.
- Not a fast-recovery or Schottky diode; choose a different type for high-frequency switching.
- Mains-connected designs require proper isolation, fusing, and safety practices.
Applications
- Bridge and half-wave rectifier experiments
- Reverse-polarity protection
- DIY power-supply learning kits
- General repair and prototyping stock
Package includes
- 1 × 1N4007 rectifier diode
