Diodes, also commonly referred to as rectifiers, are passive components which regulate current flow in electrical circuits, allowing electricity to pass in one direction while blocking it in the other. The 1N4001GPEHE3/54 diode is a single diode which is widely used in a variety of applications due to its relatively low forward voltage drop and its high peak pulse power capability.

Device Construction

The 1N4001GPEHE3/54 diode is a single device with a construction made up of a PN junction with an annular junction geometry. It features a common anode construction, with an anode terminal which is connected to the inner ring of the junction. This device also has an anode marked by a long line, visible on the device packaging. The cathode is then marked with a shorter line and connected to the outer ring of the junction.

Specifications

The 1N4001GPEHE3/54 diode has a nominal forward current of 1A. The forward voltage drop is a relatively low of 0.7V, while the peak pulse power is a very high of 800W. The rated reverse voltage is 50V, and the junction capacitance is 510 pF. The junction temperature is a relatively low of -65°C to +175°C. The package of this single diode is the familiar DO-41, while the insulation class is UL-94V-0.

Applications

The 1N4001GPEHE3/54 diode is a versatile, general purpose device that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in DC circuits and many AC circuits for motor control, power supplies, and protection devices. The low forward voltage drop makes it particularly suitable for use in stepped-down circuits such as those found in LED lamps or power converters. It can also be used in DC relays, rectifiers, and battery-linked DC motors.

Working Principle

The 1N4001GPEHE3/54 diode controls the flow of current through a circuit, which it does by using a PN junction. When electrons move through a circuit, they do so in one direction - from the anode to the cathode. This movement means that the circuit can be used to maintain an electrical charge that would otherwise be dissipated into the surrounding environment. The 1N4001GPEHE3/54 diode can be used to block current flow in one direction, while allowing current to pass in the other, making it a useful component in electrical and electronics applications.

Conclusion

The 1N4001GPEHE3/54 diode is a single device with a construction made up of a PN junction with an annular junction geometry. It features a common anode construction and a relatively low forward voltage drop of 0.7V combined with a high peak pulse power of 800W. The wide range of applications for the 1N4001GPEHE3/54 diode, including use in DC relays, rectifiers, motor controllers, and power supplies, shows that it is a versatile, reliable device for supporting these electronic systems.
