Besides, it can also be used in any general application where there is a need for a general diode. The 1N4007 diode is designed to operate with high voltages and can easily withstand voltages below 1000V. The average direct current of 1000mA or 1A, the 3W power dissipation, its small size, and low cost make it an ideal diode for a wide variety of applications.

The 1N400x series was originally introduced by Motorola's Semiconductor Products Division and registered at JEDEC in 1963 as silicon power rectifiers used primarily for military and industrial applications. [8] It appeared in the Motorola Semiconductor Data Manual in 1965, as replacements for 1N2609 through 1N2617. [9] The 1N540x series were announced in Electrical Design News in 1968, along with the now lesser-known 1.5A 1N5391 series. [10] Overview [ edit ]Power Diode. 1N4007 is a rectifier diode, designed specifically for circuits that need to convert alternating current to direct current. It can pass currents of up to 1 A, and have peak inverse voltage (PIV) rating of 1,000 V. a b "1N5400-1N5408 Datasheet" (PDF). Vishay Intertechnology. February 2018.

Of course such a popular diode could not ignore the world manufacturers of semiconductors and released their full analogs: The equivalents for diode 1N4001 are 1N4148, 1N4733A, 1N5408, 1N5822. Pls learn their differences clearly by comparing datasheet, pinout, and applications before you choose for a replacement. Diodes are used in a circuit to ensure that the electrical current flows in one direction only. Due to this, they are used for converting AC to DC power.

These are fairly low-speed rectifier diodes, being inefficient for square waves of more than 15kHz. [14] [ verification needed] They are not designed for switching applications; datasheets often do not specify any information on their turn-on and turn-off characteristics. [15]Datasheet" (PDF).

Diodes Incorporated is a publicly traded company that designs, manufactures, and supplies a wide range of discrete, analog, and mixed-signal semiconductors and complete power solutions. To get the maximum long run of the diode it is recommended to always stay 30V to 40V below from it max repetitive reverse voltage and other values. Always connect in right polarity, do not drive more than 1A load. Do not operate and store in temperature below -55 centigrade and above +175 centigrade. and 1N4007 are the diodes of same series and they have some similarities and differences. 1N4001 has low max repetitive reverse voltage so you cannot use it in the place of 1N4007 in all conditions. You can only use it in conditions in which the load voltage is below 40V. But when it comes to using 1N4007 in place of 1N4001 you can use it in any condition because it has a higher max repetitive reverse voltage than 1N4001.

Electricity: fundamental concepts and applications. Delmar Publishers. p.404. ISBN 978-0-8273-4675-8. A Type No. 1N4004 diode, a popular diode for rectifying ac to dc. The 1N400x series was originally introduced by Motorola’s Semiconductor Products Division registered at JEDEC in 1963 for military and industrial applications.Moreover it can also be used in any general purpose application where there is need of a general diode. The 1N4007 diode is built for working with high voltages and it can easily handle voltage below 1000V. The 1000mA or 1A average fwd current, 3W power dissipation with small size and lost cost also makes it ideal for wide variety of applications.
