The 1N4007 is the most commonly used rectifier diode. It is commonly used in rectifier circuits, protection circuits and regulator circuits. The lead near to the silver line is the cathode and the other lead is anode, current is allowed to flow only form anode to cathode. The specifications of the 1N4007 diode are:

• Reverse Voltage: 1000V (peak)
• Forward Current: 1A
• Peak Forward Current: 30A
• Reverse leakage current: 5uA

 

Applications of 1N4007 Diode:

• Prevent reverse polarity problem
  
• Current flow regulators
• Half Wave and Full Wave rectifiers
• Used as a protection device

Package Includes:

1 x 1N4007 General Purpose Rectifier Diode 1A
