Product details
Overview
1N4933GL-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A fast recovery glass passivated rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 50V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.2V forward voltage at 1.0A, and 200ns reverse recovery time - deployed in AC/DC input stage rectification for low-cost offline power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4933GL-T datasheet, 1N4933GL-T pinout, 1N4933GL-T application, or 1N4933GL-T equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM margin vs. line surge, thermal derating at 75°C ambient, IFSM capability under 8.3ms half-sine surge, and DO-41 lead-form compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This discrete rectifier uses a diffused junction and glass passivated die construction to achieve fast switching (trr = 200 ns) and stable leakage performance (IR = 5.0 µA @ 25°C). Its 1.0A average forward current rating assumes 9.5mm lead length at ambient temperature.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C junction range, with thermal resistance RθJA = 100 K/W and junction capacitance Cj = 15 pF @ 1 MHz / 4 V. Surge rating of 30A (8.3 ms half-sine) supports inrush handling in unregulated AC adapters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets minimum clearance for 24–36 VAC input designs. |
| IO | 1.0 A @ TA = 75°C - Continuous DC output current limit with standard PC-board mounting and 9.5 mm lead length. |
| VF | 1.2 V @ IF = 1.0 A - Forward conduction loss directly impacts efficiency and thermal rise in linear or flyback secondary rectification. |
| trr | 200 ns - Reverse recovery time determines switching losses and EMI generation in high-frequency rectifier applications. |
| IFSM | 30 A (8.3 ms) - Single half-sine surge withstand capability; critical for cold-start inrush in capacitive-input supplies. |
| Cj | 15 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Junction capacitance affects high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design in SMPS outputs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), axial leads with cathode band marking. Weight: ~0.35 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary; polarity-sensitive for correct rectification direction. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Marked by band; ties to positive rail or filter capacitor; defines output polarity in bridge or half-wave configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die | Enables stable IR performance and long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling stress. |
| Fast recovery (200 ns) | Reduces switching loss and diode-induced ringing in 20–100 kHz SMPS secondary-side rectifiers. |
| 30A surge rating | Supports repeated cold-start events without degradation in low-cost wall adapters and LED drivers. |
| DO-41 axial package | Compatible with legacy wave-solder and hand-solder processes; enables direct replacement in existing through-hole designs. |
Applications
| AC/DC Wall Adapters | Industrial Control Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 VAC input converted to 12 VDC for PLC I/O modules using half-wave rectification and bulk capacitance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier converting AC line to pulsating DC; handles 50/60 Hz input with minimal conduction loss. Use Value: 1.2 V VF limits heat generation at 1 A load, while 50 V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over peak 24 VAC (34 V). | Use Scenario: Rectifying 36 VAC control transformer output in motor starter cabinets with high ambient temperature (>70°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-stage diode in unregulated linear supply feeding relay coils and status LEDs. Use Value: Rated IO = 1.0 A @ 75°C ensures continuous operation without derating in enclosed enclosures. |
| LED Driver Secondary Side | Low-Power HVAC Sensors |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 5 W flyback LED driver powering 12 V string arrays in commercial downlights. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side freewheeling/rectifier diode operating at 65 kHz switching frequency. Use Value: 200 ns trr minimizes reverse recovery loss and associated EMI during MOSFET turn-on transitions. | Use Scenario: Half-wave rectification of 12 VAC thermostat signal in battery-backed HVAC sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-level AC-to-DC conversion for microcontroller ADC reference or logic-level detection. Use Value: Low 5.0 µA IR at 25°C prevents signal leakage that could corrupt low-current analog sensing paths. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4933G-T | Same electrical specs and DO-41 package; no tape-and-reel packaging - requires manual loading. | Identical use in prototyping and low-volume production where reel feed is unnecessary. | Select when prioritizing lowest unit cost and board-level assembly flexibility over automated placement. |
| STTH1R06U | Higher VRRM (600 V), lower VF (1.05 V), SOD-123FL package - surface-mount, not pin-compatible. | Suitable for higher-line-voltage designs (e.g., 115/230 VAC universal inputs) and space-constrained PCBs. | Choose only if redesigning for SMT and requiring >50 V blocking or improved efficiency at 1 A. |
Compared with 1N4933G-T and STTH1R06U, the 1N4933GL-T uniquely balances tape-and-reel automation readiness, DO-41 through-hole compatibility, and verified 50 V/1 A performance for cost-sensitive 24–36 VAC systems - making it optimal for volume manufacturing of legacy-compatible power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The 1N4933GL-T has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. For continuous DC operation at full 1.0 A, thermal design must ensure TJ stays within this limit - typically achieved with 9.5 mm lead length and adequate PCB copper area per the derating curve in Figure 1.
Is the 1N4933GL-T suitable for use in a capacitive-input filter configuration?
No - the datasheet explicitly states that current must be derated by 20% for capacitive loads. In such configurations, peak current stresses exceed the 1.0 A average rating, risking premature failure; use a higher-current diode like 1N540x or add inrush limiting.
Does the "L" in 1N4933GL-T indicate a different electrical specification than 1N4933G-T?
No - the "L" denotes tape-and-reel packaging with 5,000 units per reel on 13-inch reels; all electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications match those of the 1N4933G-T and bare 1N4933G variants.
Can this diode replace a 1N4001 in an existing design?
Yes - the 1N4933GL-T offers faster recovery (200 ns vs. 30 µs), lower VF (1.2 V vs. 1.1 V), and identical DO-41 package and 50 V VRRM, enabling direct drop-in replacement where reduced switching loss or improved efficiency is needed.
