Product details
Overview
1N4006GL-T from Diodes Incorporated is a glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode rated for 800 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 1.0 A average forward current, and 30 A non-repetitive surge current. It operates across –65 °C to +175 °C, features 1.0 V forward voltage at 1.0 A, and is used in AC/DC power supplies, DC power adapters, and input rectification stages of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4006GL-T datasheet, 1N4006GL-T pinout, 1N4006GL-T application, or 1N4006GL-T equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse voltage margin (800 V), thermal resistance (100 °C/W), surge capability (30 A), and DO-41 package compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device functions as a single-phase, half-wave rectifier in line-frequency (60 Hz) applications with resistive or inductive loads. Its glass-passivated die construction ensures stable junction performance under thermal cycling and humidity exposure.
It exhibits 5.0 µA peak reverse current at 25 °C and 50 µA at 125 °C under rated blocking voltage, with a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 µs and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 100 °C/W when leads are held at ambient temperature 9.5 mm from case.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - Withstands up to 800 V peak reverse voltage without breakdown, suitable for 400 V RMS mains-derived inputs. |
| IO | 1.0 A @ TA = 75 °C - Continuous DC output current rating under standard heatsinking conditions. |
| IFSM | 30 A - Survives 8.3 ms half-sine surge events, enabling robustness against line transients and inrush currents. |
| VFM | 1.0 V @ IF = 1.0 A - Low conduction loss improves efficiency in low-voltage, high-current rectifier stages. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance defines required board copper area and airflow for thermal management. |
| trr | 2.0 µs - Fast enough for 60 Hz line rectification but not suitable for high-frequency switching converters. |
| CT | 8.0 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 VR - Minimal junction capacitance reduces EMI coupling in noise-sensitive analog front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 plastic case, axial leaded, UL 94V-0 rated, cathode indicated by band. Dimensions: A = 25.40 mm (length), B = 4.06–5.21 mm (body diameter), C = 0.71–0.864 mm (lead diameter), D = 2.00–2.72 mm (lead spacing).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivation | Protects silicon junction from moisture and contaminants, extending reliability in humid or industrial environments. |
| 30 A surge rating | Enables use without external fusing in many 120/240 VAC input circuits where cold-start surges exceed steady-state current. |
| RoHS-compliant tin-plated leads | Ensures solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and compliance with EU Directive 2002/95/EC. |
| –65 °C to +175 °C operation | Supports deployment in automotive engine bays, outdoor power supplies, and industrial motor drives without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4006G-T (Diodes Inc.) | Identical electrical specs and DO-41 package; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (no GL suffix) and lead finish consistency. | No functional difference; suitable for automated assembly where GL-T's glass-passivated variant is not mandated. | Select when RoHS compliance and surge rating are primary concerns, and glass passivation is not required for environmental qualification. |
| 1N4006 (ON Semiconductor) | Same VRRM, IO, IFSM, and DO-41 package; reverse leakage specified as ≤5 µA @ 25 °C (vs. 5.0 µA typical for 1N4006GL-T). | Valid for general-purpose rectification where tighter IR spec is not critical; not qualified for extended high-temp life testing per Diodes Inc.'s GL series. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where long-term humidity resistance is not required. |
Compared with 1N4006G-T and ON Semiconductor's 1N4006, the 1N4006GL-T offers verified glass passivation for enhanced moisture resistance and consistent 5.0 µA IR at 25 °C-critical for industrial deployments requiring >10-year field reliability without conformal coating.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous 1.0 A operation?
The 1N4006GL-T is rated for 1.0 A average forward current at TA = 75 °C with leads held at ambient 9.5 mm from case. At higher ambient temperatures, current must be derated per Figure 1 in DS29002 - e.g., to ~0.7 A at 100 °C ambient - due to thermal resistance limitations.
Can this diode be used in a full-wave bridge configuration?
Yes - the 1N4006GL-T is commonly used in discrete full-wave bridge rectifiers. Four units provide 800 V PIV per leg, supporting up to 400 V RMS input. Ensure adequate PCB copper area and airflow to manage total power dissipation (≈1.0 W at 1.0 A).
Is the 1N4006GL-T suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
No - its 2.0 µs reverse recovery time and 8.0 pF junction capacitance make it unsuitable for PWM frequencies above 20 kHz. It is optimized for 50/60 Hz line rectification; use ultrafast or Schottky diodes for SMPS output stages.
Does the "GL" suffix indicate a different electrical specification than "G"?
No - "GL" denotes glass-passivated construction, identical in all electrical parameters to the "G" version. The distinction is process-related: GL ensures enhanced moisture barrier integrity, validated per J-STD-020 Level 1 MSL, while maintaining identical VRRM, IO, and VFM.
