Key Features:
Low Voltage Rating: The 1N4001 has a peak reverse voltage of only 50 V, making it suitable for low-voltage applications.
General-Purpose Use: It's commonly used in low-voltage power supplies, signal rectification, and protection circuits.
Affordable and Reliable: It offers a cost-effective solution for general rectification needs, similar to other diodes in the 1N400x series.
The 1N4001 is ideal for applications where voltages do not exceed 50 V, such as in small power supplies or low-voltage rectification tasks.
