1N4007G datasheet by Diodes Incorporated

1N4007G Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum surge current rating of the 1N4007G?
  The maximum surge current rating of the 1N4007G is 30A for a single 8.3ms half-sine wave pulse.
• Is the 1N4007G diode suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
  No, the 1N4007G is a standard recovery diode and not suitable for high-frequency switching applications. It has a relatively high reverse recovery time (trr) of 2μs, which can cause significant switching losses at high frequencies.
• Can I use the 1N4007G in a bridge rectifier configuration?
  Yes, the 1N4007G can be used in a bridge rectifier configuration, but it's essential to ensure that the diode's maximum reverse voltage rating (Vr) is not exceeded. The Vr rating of the 1N4007G is 1000V.
• What is the thermal resistance of the 1N4007G?
  The thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 1N4007G is 25°C/W, which means that for every watt of power dissipated, the junction temperature will rise by 25°C above the ambient temperature.
• Is the 1N4007G diode RoHS compliant?
  Yes, the 1N4007G diode is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it does not contain hazardous substances like lead, mercury, or cadmium above the specified limits.
