Working Principle

Rectifier diodes, such as the 1N4007GHA0G, are employed in circuits where voltage and current need to be regulated. A rectifier diode works based on the concept of semiconductor junction and rectification. It consists of a N-type semiconductor material, which allows electron flow from the P-side to the N-side. This electron flow is known as forward bias conduction. Under this condition, the diode acts like a closed switch, allowing current to pass through it. When the diode is reverse biased in the opposite direction, it prevents current flow and acts like an open circuit.

The operating temperature range of 1N4007GHA0G is -55°C to +150°C, while its peak forward voltage is 1.14V at 100mA. Its thermal resistance is 125°C/W. This diode is made from high-grade material with UL 94V-0 flammability rating. It has a well-defined junction capacitance and low reverse leakage current. Its max Peak Repetitive Reverse Voltage is 700V and its max Non-Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage is 1kV. It also offers low forward voltage drop (1.0V @15A) and low reverse current capabilities.
