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. Diodes with similar ratings are available in SMA and MELF surface mount packages (in other part number series). The 1N540x (or 1N5400) series is a similarly popular family of diodes rated 3 Amperes, which has a larger DO-201AD axial package to dissipate heat better. History The 1N400x series was originally introduced by Motorola's Semiconductor Products Division and registered at JEDEC in 1963 as silicon power rectifiers used primarily for military and industrial applications.Announcement of Electron Device Type Registration, Release No. 4190.

The 1N540x series were announced in Electrical Design News in 1968, along with the now lesser-known 1.5 A 1N5391 series.Electrical Design News, Volume 13, 1968 Overview These devices are widely used and recommended for general-purpose power-frequency rectifier use.

These are fairly low-speed rectifier diodes, being inefficient for square waves of more than 15 kHz.none Wireless World 88 75 1982 January 2020 They are not designed for switching applications; datasheets often do not specify any information on their turn-on and turn-off characteristics.Robust Electronic Design Reference Book John R. Barnes 2004 15–9 Springer Earlier I mentioned that 1N4004's are rectifiers. They don't have any specifications in their datasheet for turn-on or turn-off characteristics. https://books.google.com/books?id=DM6jcvOLZyoC&q=1N4004 9781402077371 Compared with signal diodes, rectifier diodes generally have higher current ratings, can have much higher reverse voltage ratings, but have higher leakage current and greater junction capacitance.Paul Horowitz, Winifred Hill, The
