\$\begingroup\$ To my best knowledge, junction capacitance is very sensitive to depletion layer width. If it was really just the doping densities and depletion layer width, I'd expect junction capacitance to vary as \$\propto \frac {1}{V_B}\$.

Jun 22, 2013 · The 1N4001 diode is considered a general purpose rectifier. It's in a family along which includes the 1N4001 through 1N4007 diodes.

Aug 23, 2012 · I'm trying to make a bipolar H-Bridge motor driver. But instead of the mentioned diode(1N4001), I've got a 1N4007 diode.

Dec 1, 2016 · The x-axis is the current and y-axis is the voltage across the diodes I am trying to find out with one of these lines is 1N4001 and which one is 1N4003.

Aug 12, 2024 · the information on the diode reads as either: IN4001 B4. OR 1N4001 B4 I am trying to purchase a replacement diode and the only close matches I can find make no reference to the B4 element. Is this part of the identification important? If so, what does it mean and where can I find somewhere that stocks it? Any information would be great

Dec 31, 2017 · \$\begingroup\$ Both schottky diodes and regular diodes exist in all shapes and sizes, you can get schottky diodes with much lower leakage currents than some traditional diodes it all depends on what you need of your diode. the general rule is read the datasheet, it will tell you how much leakage current you can expect. generally i would say that the voltage drop due to using a traditional ...

Apr 19, 2017 · The numbers represent PIV or peak reverse voltage rating .You must check your circuit .The 4007 has the highest rating of the series at 1000V .When these slow thru hole general purpose diodes were in thier hayday many people rationalised on the 4007 because it would cover low voltages as well .When say in 1976 I designed a circuit I would mark the hand drawn schematic with the part that I used ...

May 11, 2011 · I know red LEDs have a higher forward voltage drop than a silicon diode; this leads to about 2.6x more power dissipation at a given current and so 2.6x less current rating, but 20mA is way less tha...

Mar 25, 2024 · Using the following circuit, which measures current through a standard 1N4001 diode, and also through a 42mΩ resistor, take a look at the plot of currents as the voltage source is swept from 0V upwards:

Nov 20, 2018 · IN4001 can handle 1A, enough for many small devices. Share. Cite. Follow answered Nov 20, 2018 at 9:30 ...
