Product details
Overview
1N4005-B from Diodes Incorporated is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 600 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 power converters.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4005-B datasheet, 1N4005-B pinout, 1N4005-B application, or 1N4005-B equivalent, key selection criteria include blocking voltage margin, thermal derating behavior above 75°C, surge robustness under line transients, and compatibility with DO-41 footprint and lead-forming requirements in legacy power designs.
Technical Context
This diode employs a diffused PN junction optimized for high-current rectification in single-phase, half-wave configurations at 60 Hz. Its 100 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires heatsinking only under sustained >75°C ambient or high-duty-cycle surge conditions.
The device exhibits 15 pF typical junction capacitance at 4.0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz, limiting high-frequency switching use; its 1.0 V forward voltage ensures minimal conduction loss at rated 1.0 A DC output, while cathode band polarity marking enables unambiguous PCB orientation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Repetitive Reverse Voltage | 600 V - supports rectification in 400 VAC RMS mains-derived supplies with safety margin |
| Average Forward Current | 1.0 A @ TA = +75°C - defines continuous DC output capability without forced cooling |
| Non-Repetitive Surge Current | 30 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands inrush into capacitive loads or brief overvoltage events |
| Forward Voltage | 1.0 V @ IF = 1.0 A - contributes ≤1 W conduction loss per diode in full-wave bridge configurations |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5.0 µA @ 25°C - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance hold-up circuits |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance | 100 K/W - requires PCB copper area or heatsink if operating >75°C ambient or >0.5 A sustained |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 molded plastic package with axial leads; cathode identified by a distinct band on the body. Leads are bright tin-plated, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, and compliant with UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary side; must handle full surge current path |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction | Marked with band; connects to positive rail or filter capacitor input; defines polarity in bridge layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Diffused junction construction | Enables stable reverse breakdown behavior and consistent surge tolerance across production lots |
| 30 A surge rating (8.3 ms) | Protects against cold-start inrush into bulk capacitors up to 1000 µF in 120 VAC systems |
| Low 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 25°C | Maintains efficiency in battery-backed or low-power standby circuits with high-impedance filtering |
| DO-41 mechanical standardization | Ensures direct replacement in legacy through-hole power supply designs without footprint redesign |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4005-T | Tape-and-reel packaging (5K/reel); identical electrical specs and DO-41 package | Suitable for automated SMT placement with axial lead forming; not for manual prototyping | Select for high-volume production requiring pick-and-place compatibility |
| S1J | Same 600 V VRRM and 1.0 A IO, but in smaller DO-204AL (SMA) surface-mount package; VF = 1.1 V | Enables board space reduction and reflow assembly; lacks axial lead mechanical robustness | Select when PCB real estate is constrained and thermal management permits SMA footprint |
Compared with 1N4005-B, the 1N4005-T offers identical performance in tape-and-reel format for automation, while S1J delivers equivalent voltage/current ratings in a compact surface-mount package-ideal for space-constrained designs where axial lead strength is not required.

FAQ
Is 1N4005-B RoHS compliant?
Yes, 1N4005-B has a lead-free finish and is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2002/95/EC, with all applicable exemptions applied. The device carries a bright tin-plated finish on leads and meets MIL-STD-202 solderability requirements.
What is the maximum operating temperature for 1N4005-B?
The 1N4005-B has a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and an operating/storage temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Derating begins at +75°C ambient, where average forward current drops linearly to zero at +150°C case temperature.
Can 1N4005-B replace 1N4007 in a 1000 V blocking application?
No. 1N4005-B is rated for 600 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, while 1N4007 is rated for 1000 V. Substituting 1N4005-B in a 1000 V application risks catastrophic reverse breakdown and field failure; voltage rating must never be exceeded.
Does 1N4005-B have a specified junction capacitance?
Yes. Typical junction capacitance is 15 pF measured at 1.0 MHz and 4.0 V DC reverse bias. This value is relevant for EMI filter design and high-frequency noise coupling analysis but does not support switching above ~10 kHz.
