1N4007 DO-41 General Purpose Rectifier Diode — 1A / 1000V (50-Pack)
The 1N4007 is the highest-voltage member of the 1N400x rectifier diode family, rated at 1A forward current and 1000V peak reverse voltage (PRV). In the standard DO-41 through-hole package, it is the most widely used general-purpose rectifier diode in electronics — found in power supplies, flyback snubbers, and protection circuits worldwide.

1N400x Family Comparison
| Part | PRV | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| 1N4001 | 50V | Low-voltage rectification |
| 1N4004 | 400V | Mains rectification (230V AC) |
| 1N4007 | 1000V | High-voltage, universal use |
Why Choose 1N4007?
- 1000V PRV — Safe margin for 230V AC mains rectification (peak = 325V) and high-voltage circuits
- Universal Replacement — 1N4007 replaces all lower-voltage 1N400x diodes (1N4001–1N4006)
- 30A Surge Rating — Handles inrush current spikes in capacitor-input power supplies
- DO-41 Package — Breadboard and PCB compatible, easy to identify cathode band
- Pack of 50 — Sufficient for bridge rectifiers, protection arrays, and stock
Typical Applications
- Full-wave and half-wave AC-DC rectifier circuits
- Bridge rectifier (4× 1N4007 for full-wave bridge)
- Flyback diode across relay coils and inductive loads
- Reverse polarity protection in DC circuits
- Voltage clamping and snubber circuits in SMPS
- Free-wheeling diode in motor driver circuits
FAQ
Q: Can 1N4007 replace 1N4001, 1N4002, 1N4004?
A: Yes — 1N4007 is a drop-in replacement for all lower-voltage 1N400x diodes. Higher PRV rating is always safe to substitute.
Q: Is 1N4007 suitable for high-frequency switching?
A: No — reverse recovery time is ~30μs, too slow for SMPS above a few kHz. Use fast recovery diodes (1N4148, UF4007, HER308) for switching applications.
