As reverse voltage is applied to this rectifier it will at some point breakdown whereby massive current can flow in the reverse direction. This current is called saturation current . These rectifiers are very common they start at 50v to 1000v breakdown voltage the last 1n400x 2n400x are the number designated as reverse voltage potential 1n4001 isis the lowest voltage
lookup the datasheet..... and check many datasheets, as some have different info than others
1000V
general purpose diode with 1000V reverse breakdown.
Highly variable, depending on the type. For example a 1N457 is rated for 79 volts, while a 1N4007 is rated for 1200 volts.
The breakdown voltage point for a Zener diode is 17 volts
THE 1n4000 series are classified as rectifiers for low frequency use having a big capacitance at the junction the other are diodes that have a very small capacitance therefore a quick disconnect time from conducting to off.
The entire 1N40xx series of power diodes are all silicon. The OA79 small signal diode is germanium.
The difference in the 1N4007 diode and the 1N4007S diode is the voltage. The 1N4007S has a higher voltage but the meaning of the S is not listed.
The reverse breakdown voltage of the 1N4007 diode is 1000 volts.
The 1N4007 is a diode with forward current rating of 1 ampere, and a reverse voltage rating of 1,000 volts.
The main difference between a 1n4004 and a 1n4007 are in the maximum RMS voltage, the maximum DC blocking voltage and the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. These are 280 and 700, 400 and 1000, and 400 and 1000 volts respectively.
A: 1N400X signify a power rectifier series the last the X define the reverse voltage breakdown sustainable capability A 1N4001 is for example a 50V reverse voltage breakdown A 1N4007 is a 1000V reverse voltage breakdown
A Germanium diode has a much lower breakdown voltage than a silicone diode.
A 1n4007 is a diode and not a transistor, the 4007 don't really represent anything, the 1n4007 is a axial lead standard recovery rectifier, working peak reverse voltage = 1000V, the forward current for this device = 1 Amp. More data about it can be find in the data sheet.
Peak reverse voltage of a diode is the maximum reverse bias voltage can be applied to diode which does not cause break down.
general purpose diode with 1000V reverse breakdown.
Highly variable, depending on the type. For example a 1N457 is rated for 79 volts, while a 1N4007 is rated for 1200 volts.
maximum forward current in diode IN4007 is 30 amp
