The 1N5408 Rectifier Diode, provided in a pack of five from Diotec Semiconductor, is a general-purpose silicon diode designed for power rectification and high-voltage applications.
It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and an average forward rectified current of 3 A, with a non-repetitive peak surge current of 200 A. Housed in a DO-201AD axial-lead plastic package (approximately 9.5 mm length x 5.3 mm diameter), it supports through-hole mounting with a cathode band for polarity identification.
The diode has a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at 3 A, a typical reverse recovery time of 1500 ns, and a low reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 1000 V. Its silicon construction provides reliable performance for converting AC to DC in power circuits. The operating temperature range is -55°C to +150°C, suitable for industrial and consumer electronics.
