Hello readers welcome to new post. Here we will discuss Introduction to 1N5408 Power Diode. Diode is device that is used for conversion of ac to dc current. Diode has two main pinouts anode and cathode. Anode is positive terminal and cathode is negative terminal. Diode in single configuration is used for creation of half signal of ac to dc and other half remains non changed.

For conversion of full wave of ac to dc there is four diode configuration is used. This assembly is employed in different projects to get the dc from ac where needed. In this post we will cover the details about the 1N5408 Power Diode and discuss how it is used in different projects also will give details overview how you can get the services from PCBWAY to make a new projects that is very well known PCB services provider company all over the world. So let get started.

Introduction to 1N5408 Power Diode

• The diode is electronics that is used to move the current in the single direction. Current flows from the positive terminal to negative or anode to cathode.
• 1N5408 is known as power diode since it give the large value of forward current and value for reverse voltage having the dissipation value of 6.25 watts.
• The value of extreme current for this diode is three amperes and has ability to bear the two hundred amperes. These features helps to use it in circuits where current of less three amperes is used.
• Value of reverse current is ten microamperes that is ignorable. Due to its slow recovery time it has been replaced with new modules in different projects.
• It is general purpose diode devices and employed in different projects that commonly used.
• For instance has ability to bear the three amperes current at its terminals.
• It comes with DO201 packaging which has larger area then the DO-41 packaging so it used for these category applications.
• It has ability to bear the larger value of currents than other such as 1N4007 and 1N4148.

Uses of 1N5408 Diodes

• It used in different projects it mostly used in rectifiers projects for battery chargers, power supply voltages increaser circuits.
• It used in certain applications such as blocking current in certain direction and voltage spikes blocking.
• To get the long term operation for this device it is not use in circuits having thousands volts and use in certain range of modules.
• Not connect the load that used the three amperes about this diode and sustain the temperature minus centigrade and less than plus one seventy five.

How to Make Project with 1N5408 Diodes

• 1N5408 diode is mostly used in rectifiers circuits that is very common used in projects where dc current is needed. So if you are working in rectifiers circuits that is mostly created on the PCB board. If you have less knowledge and not expert in the project making. So don’t worry about it and  contact to the PCBWAY that is best in all services related to PCB board and other projects creation. They are well equipped to the latest machines for projects creation and engineers that helps to design and make the projects that your needed. You just have to send the Gerber file to them their experts will review this file to work on it.  They will not will you to make projects but also guide to you complete details of that for this purpose that have introduced share projects tab in their site where after uploading your projects you can get the different prizes and rewards that are waiting for you. So must avail this features.
• For your projects you can get the single layer, multilayer double layers and other types of PCB in good rates and high quality.
• They have the PCB manufacturing capabilities to build simple to complex bare boards.

 

Features of 1N5408 Diode

• There are certain applications of this device that are described here.
• It has operating temperature range minus sixty five to plus one seventy five.
• Value of extreme reverse current is ten micro amperes.
• Value of non repetitive extreme forward current is two amperes.
• The parameters for average for forward current is three amperes.
• It is rectifiers diode and comes in D0-201 packaging.

Applications 1N5408

• The main applications of 1N5408 are described here with the detailed.
• It used to stop voltage and current in any certain direction.
