Product details
Overview
1N5402-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A, 200V peak repetitive reverse voltage general-purpose silicon rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, featuring 1.0V forward voltage at 3.0A, 200A non-repetitive surge capability, and low 10µA reverse leakage at 25°C - used in AC/DC power supplies, battery chargers, and DC motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5402-T datasheet, 1N5402-T pinout, 1N5402-T application, or 1N5402-T equivalent, key selection criteria include rated blocking voltage (200V), thermal resistance (15°C/W), surge rating (200A @ 8.3ms), junction temperature range (–65°C to +150°C), and RoHS-compliant tin-plated leads.
Technical Context
This axial-lead rectifier operates in single-phase, half-wave configurations with resistive or inductive loads at 60Hz; capacitive loads require 20% current derating. Its diffused junction enables stable high-current conduction and low forward voltage drop under sustained 3.0A average output at TA = 105°C.
Thermal performance is defined with leads held at ambient temperature 9.5mm from case; typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 15°C/W. Total capacitance measures 50pF at 1MHz and 4V reverse bias, supporting moderate-speed switching in line-frequency applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown during normal operation. |
| IO @ TA=105°C | 3.0 A - Continuous average forward current rating when ambient temperature is 105°C with specified lead length. |
| VFM @ IF=3.0A | 1.0 V - Forward voltage drop at full-rated DC output current, directly impacting conduction loss and thermal design. |
| IFSM | 200 A - Non-repetitive surge current tolerance for 8.3ms half-sine wave, critical for inrush and fault protection. |
| IRM @ 25°C | 10 µA - Reverse leakage current at rated DC blocking voltage, indicating low off-state power loss. |
| RθJA | 15 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, defining temperature rise per watt of dissipated power under specified mounting conditions. |
| Tj/TSTG | –65°C to +150°C - Operating and storage temperature envelope, supporting industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-201AD molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), axial-leaded, cathode indicated by band marking, 1.1g mass, tin-plated solderable leads per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary; must withstand surge currents and reverse recovery stress. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Marked with band; connects to filter capacitor or load; carries full output current and defines polarity of DC output. |
Key Features

|---|---|
| Diffused junction construction | Enables robust high-current handling and stable forward voltage over temperature and lifetime. |
| 200A surge rating (8.3ms) | Supports reliable operation during transformer inrush, motor startup, and transient overload events. |
| Low 10µA reverse leakage @ 25°C | Minimizes standby power loss and improves efficiency in low-power or battery-backed systems. |
| DO-201AD package with tin-plated leads | Ensures compatibility with standard through-hole assembly processes and RoHS-compliant reflow/soldering. |
| 15°C/W thermal resistance | Allows direct PCB trace heatsinking without additional thermal pads or clips in many 3A applications. |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Input Stage | Battery Charger Rectification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5402-B | Same electrical specs; packaged in 500-piece bulk instead of 1.2K tape-and-reel. | No functional difference; suited for manual or low-volume prototyping vs. automated SMT placement. | Select for lab evaluation or small-batch builds where reel packaging is unnecessary. |
| 1N5404-T | Higher 400V VRRM rating; identical IO, VFM, IFSM, and package. | Used where higher reverse margin is required (e.g., 230VAC input with poor regulation or surges). | Choose when system-level reverse voltage stress exceeds 200V but same current and thermal performance is needed. |
Compared with 1N5402-T, 1N5402-B offers identical performance in bulk form for flexibility in low-volume use, while 1N5404-T provides 200V extra reverse voltage headroom without changing footprint or thermal behavior - enabling direct upgrade paths in existing designs.

FAQ
Is 1N5402-T suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
No. The 1N5402-T is a general-purpose silicon rectifier optimized for 50/60Hz line-frequency operation. Its relatively slow reverse recovery time (not specified in the datasheet) and 50pF junction capacitance make it unsuitable for PWM or SMPS applications above ~10kHz. Use fast or ultrafast recovery diodes for switching converters.
What is the maximum allowable PCB trace width for heat dissipation at 3.0A?
With RθJA = 15°C/W and 1.0V forward drop, power dissipation is ~3.0W. To limit junction temperature rise to ≤75°C above ambient, ≥100mm² of 2oz copper area (e.g., 10mm × 10mm pad with thermal vias) is recommended. Derating applies above TA = 105°C per Fig. 1.
Does 1N5402-T meet lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes. The device features lead-free, RoHS-compliant tin-plated leads and conforms to J-STD-020C Level 1 moisture sensitivity. It supports standard reflow profiles up to 260°C peak and is compatible with both wave and selective soldering per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
Can 1N5402-T be used in full-wave bridge configurations?
Yes. Four 1N5402-T diodes can construct a discrete full-wave bridge rectifier for up to 3.0A average DC output. Each diode sees only half the transformer secondary voltage, so 200V VRRM is sufficient for ≤140V RMS secondaries. Ensure symmetrical layout and thermal coupling for balanced current sharing.
