1N4007 datasheet by Diodes Incorporated

1N4007 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum surge current rating of the 1N4007?
  The 1N4007 can handle a maximum surge current of 30A for a duration of 1/2 cycle at 60Hz.
• Is the 1N4007 suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
  No, the 1N4007 is not suitable for high-frequency switching applications due to its relatively high reverse recovery time (trr) of 3μs.
• Can I use the 1N4007 in a bridge rectifier circuit?
  Yes, the 1N4007 can be used in a bridge rectifier circuit, but it's essential to ensure that the diode is properly heat-sinked and the circuit is designed to handle the diode's maximum current and voltage ratings.
• What is the typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the 1N4007?
  The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 1N4007 is around 25°C/W.
• Is the 1N4007 RoHS compliant?
  Yes, the 1N4007 is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it does not contain hazardous substances like lead, mercury, or cadmium.
