1N4004-T datasheet by Diodes Incorporated

1N4004-T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum surge current rating of the 1N4004-T?
  The 1N4004-T can handle a maximum surge current of 30A for a duration of 1/2 cycle at 60Hz.
• Is the 1N4004-T diode suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
  No, the 1N4004-T is a standard recovery diode and not suitable for high-frequency switching applications. It's recommended for general-purpose rectification and low-frequency switching applications.
• What is the thermal resistance of the 1N4004-T?
  The thermal resistance of the 1N4004-T is typically around 10°C/W, which means that for every watt of power dissipated, the junction temperature will rise by 10°C.
• Can I use the 1N4004-T in a bridge rectifier configuration?
  Yes, the 1N4004-T can be used in a bridge rectifier configuration, but ensure that the total voltage rating of the diodes is not exceeded and that the diodes are properly heat-sinked.
• Is the 1N4004-T diode RoHS compliant?
  Yes, the 1N4004-T diode is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it does not contain hazardous substances like lead, mercury, or cadmium.
