Product details
Overview
1N4003-B from Diodes Incorporated is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 200 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 1.0 A average forward current, and 30 A non-repetitive surge current. It features low forward voltage drop (1.0 V at 1.0 A), low reverse leakage (5.0 µA at 25°C), and is widely used in AC/DC power supplies, DC power adapters, and input rectification stages of industrial control power circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4003-B datasheet, 1N4003-B pinout, 1N4003-B application, or 1N4003-B equivalent, key selection considerations include its 200 V blocking rating, thermal resistance (100 K/W), junction capacitance (15 pF), operating temperature range (–65°C to +150°C), and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 1N4003-B employs a diffused PN junction optimized for high surge tolerance and stable DC blocking under 60 Hz half-wave rectification. Its 1.0 V forward voltage at 1.0 A enables efficient power conversion in low-to-medium voltage supplies, while the 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 25°C ensures minimal standby loss in off-state conditions.
Designed for resistive or inductive loads, it requires 20% current derating for capacitive loads. The device operates across –65°C to +150°C, with thermal resistance of 100 K/W (junction-to-ambient) under standard lead-mount conditions (9.5 mm from case).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown; defines usable AC input range in bridge or half-wave rectifiers. |
| IO | 1.0 A @ TA = +75°C - Continuous DC output current capability under standard heatsinking; sets minimum trace width and thermal pad requirements. |
| IFSM | 30 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Surge withstand capacity during power-up or line transients; supports robustness in unregulated AC mains inputs. |
| VF | 1.0 V @ IF = 1.0 A - Forward conduction loss at rated current; directly determines power dissipation (1.0 W) and thermal design margin. |
| IR | 5.0 µA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage at rated DC blocking voltage; critical for low-power standby circuits and high-impedance bias networks. |
| Cj | 15 pF @ 4.0 V, 1 MHz - Junction capacitance affecting high-frequency noise coupling and EMI filter design in switching supply front-ends. |
| RθJA | 100 K/W - Thermal resistance defining junction temperature rise per watt; used to calculate max ambient temperature for safe operation. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4003-T | Same electrical specs; tape-and-reel packaging (5K/reel) vs. bulk (1K/bag). | Optimized for automated SMT placement with carrier tape; not suitable for manual prototyping or low-volume hand assembly. | Select for high-volume production requiring pick-and-place compatibility. |
| S1G | Same 200 V VRRM, 1.0 A IO, but in DO-204AL (SMA) surface-mount package; slightly lower IFSM (30 A same, but shorter pulse spec). | Enables PCB space reduction and reflow assembly; lacks axial lead mechanical retention for high-vibration environments. | Choose when board area is constrained and vibration is not a concern. |
Compared with 1N4003-T and S1G, the 1N4003-B offers optimal balance of legacy through-hole compatibility, bulk procurement flexibility, and proven reliability in serviceable power supplies-making it preferred for repair, retrofit, and low-to-mid volume industrial builds.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for the 1N4003-B?
The 1N4003-B has a maximum junction temperature of +150°C, with an operating and storage temperature range from –65°C to +150°C. This allows use in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial enclosures or near heat-generating components, provided thermal design respects the 100 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance under specified mounting conditions.
Can the 1N4003-B be used in a full-wave bridge configuration?
Yes, the 1N4003-B is commonly used in discrete full-wave bridge rectifiers (four-diode configuration). Its 200 V VRRM rating supports up to 141 V RMS input (200 V / √2), making it suitable for 120 VAC mains-derived bridges. Ensure all four diodes share matched forward voltage and thermal mounting to avoid current imbalance.
Is the 1N4003-B RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4003-B features a lead-free finish and is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2002/95/EC, with all applicable exemptions applied. Its bright tin-plated leads meet MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability requirements and are compatible with standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles.
How does the 1N4003-B differ from the 1N4007-B?
The 1N4003-B has a 200 V peak repetitive reverse voltage rating, while the 1N4007-B is rated for 1000 V. All other key parameters-including 1.0 A average forward current, 30 A surge rating, 1.0 V forward voltage, and DO-41 package-are identical. Select 1N4003-B only when 200 V blocking suffices, as higher-rated variants incur no performance benefit and may cost more.
