The 1N400x (or 1N4001 or 1N4000[2]) series is a family of popular 1 A general-purpose silicon rectifier diodes commonly used in AC adapters for common household appliances. Its blocking voltage varies from 50 volts (1N4001) to 1000 volts (1N4007). This JEDEC device number series is available in the DO-41 axial package,[3][4] and similar diodes are available in SMA and MELF surface mount packages (in other part number series).[5][6]

The 1N540x (or 1N5400) series is a similarly popular family of diodes for higher-current 3 A applications. These diodes are typically available in the larger DO-201AD axial package to dissipate heat better.[7][8]

Overview

These devices are widely used and recommended for general-purpose use, e.g. rectification.[9][10][11]

These are fairly low-speed rectifier diodes, being inefficient for square waves of more than 15 kHz.[12]

The series was second sourced by many manufacturers. The 1N4001 series were in the Motorola Semiconductor Data Manual in 1965, as replacements for 1N2609 through 1N2617.[13] The 1N5400 series were announced in Electrical Design News in 1968, along with the now lesser known 1.5 A 1N5391 series.[14]

The following table lists part numbers in the 1N400x, 1N540x, and other popular general-purpose silicon rectifier diode families.
