Key Features & Benefits :

• High Reverse Voltage Rating: Can handle peak reverse voltages up to 1000 volts. This makes it ideal for use in mains AC line rectification, including 110V to 240V AC systems.
• Reliable Current Delivery: Supports a forward current of 1.0 amps. It can also manage a -repetitive peak surge current of 30 amps lasting for a single half sine-wave over 8.3 milliseconds.
• Low Forward Voltage Drop: Keeps power loss with a forward voltage drop of about 1.1 volts when carrying 1 amp of current.
• Rugged DO-41 Axial Package: Designed for handling, soldering and mounting. It fits well on prototype boards, breadboards or production through-hole printed circuit boards.
• Diffusion Junction Technology: Provides junction reliability and low reverse leakage currents. Works consistently across temperatures from minus 55 degrees Celsius, to plus 150 degrees Celsius.
