The 2N4004 can handle a maximum surge current of 160A for a duration of 10ms, as per the TI datasheet.
No, the 2N4004 is not suitable for high-frequency switching applications due to its relatively high reverse recovery time (trr) of 3μs. It's more suitable for low-frequency rectification and voltage regulation applications.
Yes, the 2N4004 can be used in a bridge rectifier configuration, but it's essential to ensure that the diodes are properly matched and that the circuit is designed to handle the maximum voltage and current ratings of the diodes.
The thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 2N4004 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.
No, the 2N4004 is not a fast recovery diode. It has a relatively slow reverse recovery time (trr) of 3μs, which can lead to increased switching losses in high-frequency applications.
