Product details
Overview
1N4003L-T 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 at +75°C, and 30 A non-repetitive surge current. It features low forward voltage drop (1.0 V @ 1.0 A), low reverse leakage (5.0 µA @ 25°C), and molded plastic case with cathode band polarity marking.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4003L-T datasheet, 1N4003L-T pinout, 1N4003L-T application, or 1N4003L-T equivalent, key selection criteria include DC blocking voltage rating, thermal resistance (100 K/W), junction capacitance (15 pF @ 4 V), surge capability, and RoHS-compliant tin-plated leads suitable for automated tape-and-reel assembly.
Technical Context
This axial-leaded rectifier operates in single-phase half-wave configurations with resistive or inductive loads at 60 Hz. Its diffused PN junction enables stable conduction under transient overloads, while the 94V-0 flammability-rated plastic case ensures mechanical robustness in industrial power supplies.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-ambient resistance of 100 K/W under standard lead conditions (9.5 mm from case), and junction temperature must remain within −65°C to +150°C for reliable operation across ambient environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4003G-T | Same electrical specs; green molding compound per Diodes Inc. environmental policy | No functional difference; used where halogen-free material compliance is required | Select when RoHS + halogen-free certification is mandated |
| S1M-T | Higher surge rating (50 A), lower RθJA (75 K/W), same VRRM and IO | Better thermal performance and transient resilience in high-reliability designs | Prefer for new designs requiring improved surge margin or thermal headroom |
Compared with 1N4003L-T, S1M-T offers superior surge and thermal performance but requires layout verification for lead spacing; 1N4003G-T is a direct material-substitution variant with identical electrical behavior and enhanced environmental compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of the 1N4003L-T?
The 1N4003L-T has a maximum junction temperature of +150°C, with an operating and storage temperature range spanning −65°C to +150°C. This rating assumes proper thermal management and adherence to the derated forward current curve, especially above +75°C ambient.
Is the 1N4003L-T suitable for capacitive-load applications?
No - the datasheet explicitly states that for capacitive loads, the average rectified output current must be derated by 20%. This accounts for higher peak currents and increased thermal stress caused by capacitor charging transients in smoothing filter stages.
How does the 1N4003L-T differ from the 1N4007L-T in terms of reverse voltage capability?
The 1N4003L-T is rated for 200 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), whereas the 1N4007L-T is rated for 1000 V VRRM. Both share identical forward characteristics (1.0 A IO, 1.0 V VFM, 30 A IFSM), but the 1N4007L-T is selected for higher-voltage AC line inputs or isolation barriers.
Does the 1N4003L-T have a specified junction capacitance, and how is it measured?
Yes - typical junction capacitance is 15 pF, measured at 1.0 MHz with 4.0 V DC reverse bias applied. This value impacts high-frequency noise coupling and switching behavior in fast-switching or RF-adjacent circuits, though the device is not intended for such use cases.
