Product details
Overview
1N4002G-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a single-die, glass-passivated standard silicon rectifier diode rated for 1 A average forward current and 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, with 30 A surge capability and 1 V max forward voltage at 1 A. It is used in low-frequency AC/DC conversion stages of power supplies and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4002G-K datasheet, 1N4002G-K pinout, 1N4002G-K application, or 1N4002G-K equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=100 V, IF=1 A, IFSM=30 A, VF≤1 V @ 1 A, and DO-41 package compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional, PN-junction rectifier optimized for 50/60 Hz line-frequency and low-frequency switching applications. Its glass passivation ensures stable junction performance under thermal cycling and humidity exposure.
The 1N4002G-K exhibits a typical junction capacitance of 10 pF at 4 V reverse bias and 1 MHz, and reverse leakage remains ≤5 µA at 25°C and ≤100 µA at 125°C - enabling reliable blocking in low-noise, low-power-consumption designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 1 A - continuous average forward current rating at TA = 75°C with adequate heatsinking |
| IFSM | 30 A - peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) the device withstands during power-up or fault |
| VF | ≤1 V @ IF = 1 A, TJ = 25°C - forward conduction loss directly impacts efficiency in linear rectification stages |
| TJ(max) | +150°C - maximum junction temperature defining thermal derating limits and reliability envelope |
| CJ | 10 pF @ VR = 4 V, f = 1 MHz - low junction capacitance minimizes high-frequency switching noise and EMI coupling |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AL (DO-41), axial leaded, epoxy-molded case with cathode band marking. Leads are pure tin-plated and J-STD-002 solderable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry terminal | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary side; polarity must align with circuit's conduction direction |
| Cathode | Forward current exit terminal | Marked by colored band; connects to positive rail or filter capacitor input in half-wave/full-wave rectifiers |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4002 | No "G-K" suffix; standard JEDEC DO-41, same VRRM/IF/IFSM but unspecified halogen-free status | Lacks RoHS/halogen-free documentation; not suitable for EU medical or automotive BOMs requiring full compliance traceability | Select 1N4002G-K when regulatory documentation and green material certification are mandatory |
| STTH1R02 | Fast recovery (trr ≈ 1.8 µs vs. >10 µs), higher VF (~1.15 V), same DO-41 package and 1 A/100 V ratings | Better suited for higher-frequency SMPS where reverse recovery losses dominate; less optimal for 50/60 Hz line rectification | Choose STTH1R02 only if operating frequency exceeds 20 kHz and reverse recovery behavior is critical |
Compared with 1N4002 and STTH1R02, the 1N4002G-K delivers verified halogen-free compliance and optimized low-frequency conduction efficiency - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained, and regulatory-driven AC/DC front-end designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for the 1N4002G-K?
The 1N4002G-K has a VRRM rating of 100 V, meaning it reliably blocks up to 100 V of reverse voltage in repetitive AC or pulsating DC conditions. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision B2104 and is distinct from the 1N4001G-K (50 V) and 1N4003G-K (200 V) variants.
Is the 1N4002G-K suitable for use in a 60 Hz full-wave bridge rectifier?
Yes, the 1N4002G-K is explicitly designed for 50/60 Hz line-frequency rectification. With its 1 A average forward current, 30 A surge rating, and low thermal resistance (RθJA = 80°C/W), the 1N4002G-K performs reliably in full-wave bridge configurations powering linear regulators or bulk capacitors in AC/DC supplies.
Does the 1N4002G-K have RoHS and halogen-free compliance documentation?
Yes, the 1N4002G-K is certified RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as stated in the Features section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The "G" in the part number denotes green compound, and the "K" indicates tape-and-reel packaging - both supporting environmental compliance requirements.
What is the forward voltage drop of the 1N4002G-K at rated current?
The 1N4002G-K has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.0 V at 1 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, per the Electrical Specifications table. Typical VF is lower, but design margins should use the 1.0 V max value to ensure thermal and efficiency calculations remain conservative.
Can the 1N4002G-K replace the 1N4001G-K in an existing design?
Yes, the 1N4002G-K can replace the 1N4001G-K in most cases because both share identical package (DO-41), current rating (1 A), surge rating (30 A), and thermal specs. However, the 1N4002G-K offers double the reverse voltage margin (100 V vs. 50 V), improving robustness against transient overvoltage - especially beneficial in noisy or poorly regulated AC lines.
