Product details
Overview
1N4933L-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 50V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.2V forward voltage drop at 1.0A (VFM), and 200ns reverse recovery time (tRR), used in AC/DC input stage rectification of offline power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4933L-T datasheet, 1N4933L-T pinout, 1N4933L-T application, or 1N4933L-T equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM, IO, tRR, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100°C/W), and surge rating (IFSM = 30A), especially for cost-sensitive 50–100V industrial and consumer SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon PN junction diode uses diffused junction technology to achieve fast switching with low stored charge, enabling efficient operation in 50–60Hz line-frequency and higher-frequency flyback auxiliary windings. Its 200ns tRR and 5.0μA reverse leakage at 25°C support stable blocking during commutation.
The DO-41 axial package provides mechanical robustness and standard through-hole mounting compatibility. With RθJA = 100°C/W and derated IO = 1.0A at TA = +75°C, it operates reliably across –65°C to +150°C ambient and junction temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for AC input voltage handling in bridge or half-wave rectifiers. |
| IO | 1.0 A @ TA = +75°C - Continuous average forward current capability under defined PCB mounting conditions (9.5mm lead length). |
| VFM | 1.2 V @ IF = 1.0A - Forward conduction loss directly impacts efficiency and thermal rise in rectifier stage. |
| tRR | 200 ns - Reverse recovery time determines switching losses and EMI generation during turn-off in inductive circuits. |
| IFSM | 30 A (8.3ms half-sine) - Surge withstand capability for cold-start inrush and transient overloads without failure. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance defines required heatsinking or board copper area for thermal management. |
| IRM | 5.0 μA @ 25°C - Low reverse leakage ensures minimal standby power loss and stable DC bus hold-up. |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 axial-leaded plastic package with cathode band marking; leads are bright tin-plated, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208; polarity identified by single black band on cathode end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward current entry point | Connects to AC source or transformer secondary; must handle full load current and surge peaks. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connects to output capacitor or filter choke; sustains full VRRM during off-state with minimal leakage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery (200ns) | Reduces switching losses and improves efficiency in line-frequency and auxiliary winding rectification. |
| 30A non-repetitive surge rating | Withstands cold-start inrush and lightning-induced transients without degradation in typical AC input stages. |
| Low 1.2V forward drop at 1A | Limits conduction loss to ~1.2W at full load, easing thermal design in compact power supplies. |
| DO-41 RoHS-compliant package | Enables automated through-hole assembly and meets global environmental compliance requirements (EU RoHS 3). |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Input Rectification | Industrial Control Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Converts 90–264V AC mains to pulsating DC in wall-wart adapters for consumer electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete rectifier diode performing half-wave or full-bridge rectification in primary-side input stage. Use Value: 50V VRRM and 30A IFSM provide margin for 120VAC peak (170V) with surge tolerance, while 1.2V VFM limits heat generation in space-constrained enclosures. | Use Scenario: Provides unregulated DC bus for 24V control logic and relay drivers in PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast recovery rectifier in transformer-coupled auxiliary supply, operating at 50/60Hz with minimal reverse recovery noise. Use Value: 200ns tRR suppresses high-frequency ringing that could interfere with adjacent analog sensing circuits in industrial environments. |
| LED Driver Auxiliary Winding | Appliance Motor Control Board |
Use Scenario: Rectifies feedback winding voltage in flyback LED drivers to power the PWM controller IC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side rectifier delivering low-current, regulated bias power; requires fast recovery to avoid cross-conduction. Use Value: Low 5.0μA reverse leakage at 25°C ensures stable startup and prevents controller brown-out during light-load conditions. | Use Scenario: Supplies logic-level DC for microcontroller and gate driver ICs on washing machine motor control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: General-purpose rectifier in isolated auxiliary supply derived from main transformer. Use Value: DO-41 mechanical robustness and –65°C to +150°C operating range ensure reliability in thermally cycling appliance environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RS1A-T | Same DO-41 package, 50V VRRM, but 150ns tRR and 1.3V VFM at 1A. | Slightly faster recovery reduces EMI in noise-sensitive applications; higher VFM increases conduction loss. | Prefer RS1A-T where lower tRR is critical and thermal margin allows 0.1V higher drop. |
| 1N4001-T | DO-41, 50V VRRM, but 30μs tRR and 1.1V VFM; general-purpose, not fast recovery. | Unsuitable for high-frequency or low-noise auxiliary supplies due to excessive reverse recovery tail. | Select only for purely resistive, low-frequency (<1kHz) rectification where EMI and efficiency are non-critical. |
Compared with RS1A-T and 1N4001-T, the 1N4933L-T delivers balanced performance: faster than 1N4001-T for reduced switching loss and EMI, yet more thermally efficient than RS1A-T in continuous conduction mode due to lower VFM.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for 1N4933L-T?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJ) is +150°C, and the storage temperature range matches this at –65°C to +150°C. Operation above +150°C risks permanent parametric shift or catastrophic failure; thermal design must ensure TJ remains within limit using RθJA = 100°C/W and measured ambient conditions.
Is 1N4933L-T suitable for use in a full-wave bridge configuration?
Yes - each 1N4933L-T diode can be used as one leg of a discrete full-wave bridge rectifier. Four units provide 50V output rating; ensure matching VF and tRR across all devices to balance current sharing and minimize thermal imbalance under load.
Does 1N4933L-T have lead-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes - the device features bright tin-plated leads and molded plastic case compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2015/863/EU (RoHS 3), including all applicable exemptions. It is also halogen- and antimony-free per Diodes Incorporated's Green definition.
How does reverse recovery time affect EMI in power supply designs?
A shorter tRR (200ns vs. 30μs in 1N4001) minimizes the reverse recovery current spike and associated dI/dt, reducing high-frequency ringing and conducted EMI on input lines. This eases compliance with EN55032 Class B limits without additional snubbing in many low-power applications.
