The 1N4002 is a diode in a family of diodes called 1N400x. It is a series of general purpose diodes. The diodes in this series are widely used for rectification purposes in electronic appliances, but also for other applications such as voltage blocking, voltage boosting, etc.29 ene 2021
What is the application of a 1N4001 diode?
The 1N400x (or 1N4001 or 1N4000) series is a family of popular one-ampere 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).
Can I use 1N4001 instead of 1N4002?
Yes. All the 1N400x diodes are identical, except for voltage (PIV) rating. You can always use a higher voltage unit to replace a lower voltage one.
Can I use 1N4001 instead of 1N4007?
Yes. The 1N4007 can withstand a higher reverse voltage(Vr), 1000V vs. 50V.
