Product details
Overview
1N4936GL-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A fast recovery glass passivated rectifier diode with 400V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.2V forward voltage at 1.0A, and 200ns reverse recovery time (trr), designed for AC/DC input stage rectification in offline power supplies and auxiliary power rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4936GL-T datasheet, 1N4936GL-T pinout, 1N4936GL-T application, or 1N4936GL-T equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM margin for 230VAC surge tolerance, trr-driven EMI reduction in flyback snubbers, thermal derating above 75°C ambient, and DO-41 lead-form compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon rectifier uses a diffused junction and glass passivated die construction to achieve stable fast recovery performance across -65°C to +150°C operating range. Its 30A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) supports cold-start inrush handling in unregulated AC/DC front-ends.
The device exhibits 15pF typical junction capacitance at 4.0V reverse bias and 1.0MHz, enabling predictable high-frequency switching behavior in clamp circuits. Thermal resistance of 100K/W (junction-to-ambient) requires PCB copper area management for sustained 1.0A conduction at elevated ambient temperatures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400V - Withstands peak line voltage surges up to 380V in 230VAC systems with safety margin. |
| IO | 1.0A @ TA = 75°C - Continuous DC output current rating under standard PCB mounting conditions. |
| VFM | 1.2V @ IF = 1.0A - Low conduction loss enables >85% efficiency in low-power SMPS secondary-side rectification. |
| trr | 200ns - Reduces switching losses and EMI generation compared to general-purpose rectifiers (e.g., 1N4007: 30µs). |
| IFSM | 30A (8.3ms half-sine) - Handles capacitor-input filter inrush without failure during power-up cycles. |
| Cj | 15pF @ 4V, 1MHz - Predictable capacitive loading in RC snubber networks and high-frequency clamp designs. |
| RθJA | 100K/W - Requires ≥1 cm² copper pour for full 1.0A operation at 75°C ambient per JEDEC JESD51-3. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 molded plastic case with axial leads, cathode band marking, RoHS-compliant bright tin plating, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary winding; must withstand full reverse voltage when reverse-biased. |
| Cathode (Lead 2, banded end) | Forward current exit point | Connected to output capacitor or load; polarity marking ensures correct orientation in bridge or single-diode rectifier configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die | Eliminates surface contamination-induced leakage drift and improves long-term reliability in humid environments. |
| Fast recovery (200ns) | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) to <1.2µC, minimizing turn-off losses in 50–100kHz flyback converters. |
| 30A surge rating | Supports 10× rated current for one AC cycle, enabling use without external inrush limiters in cost-sensitive adapters. |
| DO-41 axial package | Enables manual or wave soldering on legacy through-hole PCBs and compatibility with standard diode sockets and test fixtures. |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Input Rectification | Industrial Control Auxiliary Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 230VAC-to-12VDC adapter with capacitor-input filter and no PFC stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier converting AC line to pulsating DC before bulk capacitor smoothing. Use Value: 400V VRRM provides 20% margin over 325V peak 230VAC, while 200ns trr limits EMI during zero-crossing commutation. | Use Scenario: 24VAC control transformer feeding isolated 5V logic rail in PLC I/O module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifier supplying low-current bias to optocouplers and microcontroller reset circuitry. Use Value: 1.0A IO headroom supports transient loads up to 500mA, and DO-41 form factor fits constrained board space near transformer terminals. |
| LED Driver Bulk Rectification | Automotive Aftermarket Power Module |
Use Scenario: Non-isolated buck-based LED driver powered from 120VAC mains via bridge rectifier. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One leg of full-wave bridge rectifying AC input prior to DC link capacitor. Use Value: 1.2V VFM minimizes conduction loss at 350mA average current, improving thermal margin in enclosed lamp housings. | Use Scenario: 12V vehicle battery charger with AC input stage for workshop use. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input rectifier handling 100–240VAC universal input with surge protection. Use Value: 30A IFSM survives 170VAC brownout recovery spikes, and RoHS-compliant finish meets automotive aftermarket chemical exposure requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06U | VRRM = 600V, trr = 75ns, SOD-123FL package | Surface-mount only; lower leakage (IR = 1μA @ 100°C) but requires reflow-compatible layout | Select for higher-voltage margin and automated assembly where board space is constrained. |
| ON Semi MUR120 | VRRM = 200V, trr = 75ns, DO-41 package | Lower voltage rating limits use to 120VAC systems; faster recovery reduces snubber losses | Select for 120VAC-only designs requiring minimal reverse recovery loss in high-frequency converters. |
Compared with 1N4936GL-T, STTH1L06U offers superior voltage margin and speed but mandates SMT redesign, while MUR120 provides faster recovery in the same DO-41 footprint but sacrifices 200V of reverse blocking capability-making it unsuitable for universal-input applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous 1.0A operation?
The 1N4936GL-T is rated for 1.0A average forward current at TA = 75°C with 9.5mm lead length and free-air conditions. At 100°C ambient, derated current drops to approximately 0.75A per Figure 1 in the datasheet. For PCB-mounted operation, thermal relief copper area directly impacts usable current capacity.
Is 1N4936GL-T suitable for use in a full-wave bridge configuration?
Yes-1N4936GL-T is commonly used as one quadrant in discrete full-wave bridge rectifiers. Its DO-41 package, 400V VRRM, and 30A IFSM make it compatible with standard bridge layouts. Ensure matching diodes are used for balanced current sharing and thermal distribution across all four legs.
How does its reverse recovery time compare to 1N4007 in practical switching circuits?
At 200ns, 1N4936GL-T recovers over 150× faster than 1N4007 (30µs). In 50kHz flyback converters, this reduces reverse recovery energy loss by >95%, lowering diode temperature rise and easing EMI filter requirements-critical for meeting Class B conducted emissions limits.
Does the "L" suffix in 1N4936GL-T indicate lead-free compliance?
Yes-the "L" denotes lead-free finish per EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), confirmed by bright tin-plated leads and J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity. The "-T" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging (5,000 units per reel), not environmental compliance.
