Product details
Overview
1N4005GL-T from Diodes Incorporated is a glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode rated for 600 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 1.0 A average forward current, and 30 A non-repetitive surge current, used in AC/DC power supply front-end rectification, DC power adapter input stages, and industrial control power conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4005GL-T datasheet, 1N4005GL-T pinout, 1N4005GL-T application, or 1N4005GL-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking capability, 1.0 V forward voltage at 1.0 A, 2.0 µs reverse recovery time, DO-41 axial package compatibility, and RoHS-compliant tin-plated leads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-phase, half-wave silicon junction rectifier optimized for general-purpose AC line frequency (60 Hz) applications with resistive or inductive loads. It exhibits a typical thermal resistance of 100 °C/W and supports operation from –65 °C to +175 °C.
The diode's glass passivation ensures stable surface characteristics under humidity and thermal cycling, while its 8.0 pF junction capacitance at 4.0 V reverse bias and 1.0 MHz enables predictable behavior in low-frequency filtering and snubber networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown; defines safe operating margin in 400–500 VAC input circuits. |
| IO @ TA=75°C | 1.0 A - Continuous average forward current rating at 75 °C ambient; requires heatsinking or derating above this temperature. |
| VFM @ IF=1.0A | 1.0 V - Forward voltage drop at rated current; determines conduction loss (1.0 W typical at full load). |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 30 A - Non-repetitive surge current tolerance; withstands inrush during cold-start of capacitive-input supplies. |
| trr (typ) | 2.0 µs - Reverse recovery time measured at IF=0.5A, IR=–1A, Irr=0.25A; suitable for 60 Hz but not high-frequency switching. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; guides PCB copper area and airflow requirements for thermal management. |
| CT @ 1MHz, 4V | 8.0 pF - Junction capacitance; impacts EMI filter design and snubber component selection in line-input stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 plastic axial leaded case per Diodes Incorporated outline drawing - 25.4 mm overall length, 4.06–5.21 mm body diameter, 0.71–0.864 mm lead diameter, cathode band marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary; polarity must align with circuit ground reference. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Marked by colored band; connects to positive rail or smoothing capacitor input in bridge or half-wave configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die | Enhances long-term reliability in humid or thermally cycled environments by preventing surface leakage and corrosion. |
| RoHS-compliant tin plating | Enables lead-free reflow soldering per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC exemptions. |
| 30 A surge rating | Supports repeated cold-start events in offline power supplies without degradation, reducing need for external inrush limiters. |
| DO-41 mechanical standardization | Ensures direct replacement in legacy designs using industry-standard axial footprint and lead spacing (9.5 mm lead length requirement). |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Adapter Input Stage | Industrial PLC Power Supply Rectifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Converts 120/230 VAC mains to unregulated DC in wall-wart adapters with capacitive-input filtering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier in half-wave or full-wave bridge configuration; handles 50/60 Hz line frequency conduction. Use Value: 600 V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over 230 VAC RMS input, minimizing risk of reverse breakdown during transients. | Use Scenario: Rectifies transformer-derived AC in programmable logic controller (PLC) backplane power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete rectifying element in isolated auxiliary power rails feeding digital I/O and communication interfaces. Use Value: 1.0 A IO rating sustains continuous operation under 24 VDC system loads with minimal thermal derating up to 75 °C ambient. |
| DC Motor Control Snubber Diode | LED Driver Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path for brushed DC motor coils during PWM turn-off in industrial motion controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode across inductive load; conducts only during flyback energy dissipation. Use Value: 30 A IFSM absorbs peak inductive kick without failure, extending MOSFET switch lifetime in 24–48 V systems. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity and transient protection on AC-coupled LED driver inputs in outdoor signage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series blocking diode preventing damage from accidental reverse connection or lightning-induced surges. Use Value: Glass passivation and 600 V rating ensure stable performance under outdoor environmental stress and line-voltage spikes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4005G-T (Diodes Inc.) | Identical electrical specs and DO-41 package; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (no "L" suffix). | No functional difference; same thermal, electrical, and mechanical behavior in circuit. | Select when standard reel packaging suffices and glass-passivated variant is not required for specific qualification. |
| RS1M (ON Semiconductor) | Same 600 V VRRM, 1.0 A IO, DO-41 package; trr = 1.5 µs (slightly faster), RθJA = 90 °C/W (better thermal dissipation). | Better suited for higher ambient temperature environments or tighter thermal budgets. | Prefer where lower thermal resistance or marginally faster recovery improves system reliability without layout change. |
Compared with 1N4005G-T, the 1N4005GL-T adds glass passivation for enhanced moisture resistance, while RS1M offers improved thermal performance and faster recovery-both retain full DO-41 footprint compatibility and serve as drop-in replacements in most 60 Hz rectifier roles.

FAQ
What is the meaning of the 'L' suffix in 1N4005GL-T?
The 'L' denotes glass passivation of the silicon die, a surface treatment that improves moisture resistance, long-term stability under thermal cycling, and reliability in humid or harsh industrial environments compared to standard epoxy-passivated variants.
Can 1N4005GL-T replace 1N4005G-T in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical electrical specifications, DO-41 package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The 'L' variant adds glass passivation but does not alter pinout, footprint, or soldering requirements, enabling direct substitution without redesign.
Is 1N4005GL-T suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
No - with a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 µs and no fast-recovery optimization, it is intended for 50/60 Hz line-frequency rectification. Use fast-recovery or ultrafast diodes (e.g., UF4005) for SMPS or >20 kHz operation.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous 1.0 A operation?
The datasheet specifies 1.0 A average forward current at TA = 75 °C. Operation at higher ambient temperatures requires derating per Figure 1; at 100 °C ambient, maximum continuous current drops to approximately 0.75 A with standard PCB mounting.
