Description

The 1N5408 General Purpose Rectifier Diode is a sturdy silicon diode designed for efficient rectification in high-voltage, high-current applications. With a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 1000V and a forward current (If) rating of 3A (with a surge capability of up to 200A for 8.3ms), it’s an excellent choice for power supplies, battery chargers, and heavy-duty DIY electronics projects. Encased in a DO-201AD (DO-27) axial package, the 1N5408 features a low forward voltage drop of approximately 1.2V at 3A and is optimized for general-purpose rectification with a moderate recovery time. It offers a power dissipation of 6.25W and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. This RoHS-compliant diode is widely used in AC-to-DC converters, inverters, and industrial equipment repairs, providing reliable performance under demanding conditions. Its axial leads are solderable per MIL-STD-202 standards, and the cathode is marked with a band for easy polarity identification.
