Product details
Overview
1N4006L-T from Diodes Incorporated is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 800 V peak repetitive reverse voltage and 1.0 A average forward rectified current at +75°C ambient, with 1.0 V forward voltage drop at 1.0 A, used in AC/DC power supply front-end rectification for industrial adapters and low-cost consumer power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4006L-T datasheet, 1N4006L-T pinout, 1N4006L-T application, or 1N4006L-T equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage margin, surge current capability (30 A), thermal resistance (100 K/W), junction capacitance (8 pF), and RoHS-compliant tin-plated leads for lead-free assembly.
Technical Context
This axial-leaded diode uses a diffused PN junction to achieve low forward voltage and stable reverse blocking. Its 800 V VRRM supports 420 V RMS input lines with safety margin, while the 30 A non-repetitive surge rating handles inrush currents in unregulated transformer-based supplies.
Thermal performance is defined by 100 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance under standard mounting (leads held at ambient 9.5 mm from case), and reverse leakage remains ≤50 µA at +100°C - critical for standby power integrity in offline converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - blocks 800 V peak reverse voltage, enabling use with 420 V RMS mains inputs with 1.9× safety margin |
| IO | 1.0 A @ +75°C - continuous DC output current rating under derated ambient conditions |
| VF | 1.0 V @ 1.0 A - forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in linear rectifiers |
| IFSM | 30 A - single half-sine surge rating at 8.3 ms, sufficient for capacitor-input filter inrush limiting |
| RθJA | 100 K/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance defines heatsinking requirements for sustained load |
| Cj | 8 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - low junction capacitance minimizes switching noise and EMI in 50/60 Hz rectification |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 molded plastic package with axial leads; cathode identified by a painted 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 | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary during positive half-cycle conduction |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Marked with band; connects to positive rail of DC output or smoothing capacitor anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Diffused junction construction | Enables robust surge handling (30 A) and stable long-term reverse leakage behavior |
| Lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish | Bright tin plating ensures compatibility with Pb-free reflow and wave soldering processes |
| UL 94V-0 rated encapsulation | Molded plastic case meets flame-retardant safety requirement for Class II power supplies |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No bake preconditioning required before PCB assembly - simplifies manufacturing flow |
Applications
| AC/DC Wall Adapters | Industrial Control Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-cost 12 V/1 A offline adapter for HVAC sensors and PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier converting 230 V AC mains to pulsating DC before bulk capacitor filtering. Use Value: 800 V VRRM provides margin against line surges; 1.0 V VF limits conduction loss to <1.0 W at full load. | Use Scenario: Auxiliary 5 V bias supply in motor drive gate driver boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifier feeding linear regulator for isolated logic supply. Use Value: 30 A IFSM withstands transformer saturation events; DO-41 axial form enables through-hole reliability in high-vibration environments. |
| Consumer Audio Power Stages | LED Lamp Driver Circuits |
Use Scenario: Rectification stage in Class-D amplifier auxiliary supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input rectifier in unregulated transformer-coupled supply powering op-amps and comparators. Use Value: 8 pF Cj suppresses high-frequency ringing; 100 K/W RθJA allows natural convection cooling without heatsink. | Use Scenario: Bridge rectifier leg in non-isolated LED tube drivers (with three other 1N4006L-T). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One quadrant of full-wave bridge converting AC line to DC for constant-current LED regulation. Use Value: Cathode band polarity marking ensures correct bridge orientation; 50 µA max IR at +100°C maintains low standby leakage in enclosed fixtures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4006G | Same electrical specs; green marking ink instead of black, identical DO-41 package and tin plating | No functional difference; used interchangeably in same board designs | Select when color-coding or legacy BOM alignment requires G-suffix variant |
| S1J | 1.0 A / 600 V, smaller SMD DO-204AL (SMA) package, 0.85 V VF, 35 A IFSM | Requires PCB redesign for surface-mount; higher surge rating but lower VRRM | Choose for space-constrained designs where 600 V margin suffices and automated assembly is preferred |
Compared with 1N4006L-T, 1N4006G offers identical performance in same package with minor marking variation, while S1J trades 200 V reverse voltage headroom for SMT compatibility and slightly lower forward drop - making it suitable only where layout and safety margin allow.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for 1N4006L-T?
The 1N4006L-T has a specified operating and storage temperature range of −65°C to +150°C. Its maximum junction temperature is +150°C, and its average forward current rating drops to 1.0 A only when ambient temperature is maintained at +75°C with leads held at ambient 9.5 mm from the case - exceeding this ambient requires thermal derating per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Is 1N4006L-T suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
No - the 1N4006L-T is a general-purpose, slow-recovery rectifier with no specified reverse recovery time (trr). Its 8 pF junction capacitance and diffused junction design make it appropriate for 50/60 Hz line-frequency rectification only. For SMPS or high-frequency inverters, fast-recovery or Schottky diodes with defined trr must be used instead.
Does 1N4006L-T meet RoHS and REACH requirements?
Yes - the 1N4006L-T features lead-free, RoHS-compliant bright tin-plated leads and complies with EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), including all applicable exemptions. It also meets REACH SVHC requirements as confirmed in Diodes Incorporated's material declarations and is rated UL 94V-0 for flammability.
Can 1N4006L-T replace 1N4007 in existing designs?
Only if the circuit's peak reverse voltage does not exceed 800 V. The 1N4007 is rated for 1000 V VRRM, while the 1N4006L-T is rated for 800 V - a 200 V reduction. Substitution is acceptable in 230 V AC systems with adequate safety margin but not in 380 V AC or surge-prone industrial environments where 1000 V rating is relied upon.
